@HotStoveTFP As a result the players had to stand up for their countries in a way that wouldn't have happened before. The 9 seconds was a case study of what happens when Nationalism spills onto the ice.
@HotStoveTFP you missed an important aspect of those 9 seconds. It was caused by factors outside of hockey. I know we don't talk politics on sports shows but Trump wanted to annex Canada so Canadians bood the US National Anthem and American fans returned the favor. 1/2
