Los Angeles Kings organized Edmonton Oilers on Monday for a first -round Stanley Cup playoff game, and a pre -game performance became a conversation theme.
The members of the Senior and Community Center of Korea Town made “The Star-Spangled Banner” before the fall of Puck at Crypto.com Arena. The group used harmonics instead of singing the American national anthem.
The majority of the crowd it presents seemed to approve the interpretation since thousands were still standing to applaud the artists.

But some observers resorted to social networks to express their disgust.
“Whoever thought this was a good idea should probably not have a job,” wrote an user X.

Once the game began, it was a hard contest.
The Oilers tied the game at the end of the third period, but the Kings celebrated a 6-5 victory in game 1. Los Angeles also came out victorious in game 2.
The third game of the series is scheduled for Friday.
