Musical guests have been announced for the NHL AMP Winter Classic/Ice Bowl/Outdoor Game/Maybe the NHL will actually get something right.
Roost favorite Doug Allen will sing the Canadian national anthem.
Irish tenor and Sabres fan Ronan Tynan will perform "God Bless America" (of course) and hopefully he'll do the Doug Allen Point for everyone.
And some guy from Canada will be performing another song during the second intermission. Sam Roberts? Brothers from across the border, please enlighten me as to who this guy is and if he's any good. He's won a Juno Award three times, so that must be good right? Is a Juno Award something that new movie can win? Then again, never mind Canada. You guys gave us Celine Dion actually like Nickleback.
UPDATE: I just gave Sam Roberts a quick listen. It's as good if not a little bit better than a lot of stuff out there today but I can't say I'm blown away by it. Easy on the ears, should be a decent performance that I forget about twenty minutes after it's over.
The NHL loves brining in musical acts for their big events so that they can feel like all the other big league sports (like during the All Star Game and the post-season Awards Show) so bringing in a Canadian band that I'm not sure anyone south of the Peace Bridge has heard of is no real surprise.
At least they didn't feel compelled to bring in the Goos.
