via WCAU-TV Philadelphia, PA Singer Forgets Anthem, Then Falls On Rear End

Caroline Marcil, of Montreal, was scheduled to perform the anthems for both countries before the United States’ 5-4 win over Canada.

She sang neither after twice failing to complete “The Star Spangled Banner.”

After apologizing to the crowd, Marcil left the ice briefly, presumably to get the words.

When she returned to the ice, the carpet slipped out from underneath her, causing her to fall hard.

She left on her own and did not return.

After Marcil left, the decision was made to proceed with the opening face off without the singing of either anthem.

I don’t know about you, but if I was singing in front of several thousand people, I think I would probably rehearse a few minutes before…
