It’s no secret that there has been some friction between the United States and Canada<\/a> in recent years, and just because the Americans won gold at the Olympics.<\/p>\n

Say it with me: USA! USA! USA!<\/p>\n

But fortunately, some international fences are being mended, and it’s all thanks to Buffalo Sabres<\/a> fans and beer brand Molson Canadian.<\/p>\n

\"Sabres <\/p>\n

Game 5 between the Sabres and Boston Bruins<\/a> was on Tuesday at KeyBank Center, and before the game, the Sabres played both the U.S. and Canadian national anthems, as is their tradition.<\/p>\n

However, there was a problem with the microphone, and that’s when Sabres fans took charge<\/a> and got to the end of “O Canada.”<\/p>\n

That act of impromptu karaoke went viral<\/a>, but unfortunately, the game did not go the Sabres way.<\/p>\n

They blew an opportunity to knock the Bruins out of the playoffs, as a slick David Pastrnak goal in OT sent this series back to Boston for Game 6 with the Sabres up 3-2.<\/p>\n

But fear not, because this led to free beer.<\/p>\n

Molson Canadian has announced that, as a thank you for singing the anthem when the mic crapped out, they will be giving fans a free round of beer on Friday night when the Sabres and Bruins meet for Game 6.<\/p>\n

The free beer will be available at a slew of Buffalo-area bars, with some offering it starting just before or just after puck drop.<\/p>\n

Now, the only thing better than free beer is watching your team win its first playoff series in almost 20 years.<\/p>\n

Sabres fans have that opportunity on Friday, but it won’t be easy against a Boston team that has some great skill and far more postseason experience than Buffalo does.<\/p>\n

If the Sabres can’t get the job done, Game 7 will be on Sunday in Buffalo.<\/p>\n
