HOCKEY fans were left irate after hearing a “terrible” rendition of the National Anthem during the Stanley Cup play-offs.
Adam David – the most recent winner of the hit TV Show ‘The Voice‘ was given the honour of singing The Star Spangled Banner before Game Three of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers.
But David turned in a less-than-stellar rendition of the anthem, which he mumbled through.
He struggled getting through “at the twilight’s last gleaming”.
Viewers also noticed he dragged out the anthem to a whopping two minutes and eleven seconds – 28 seconds longer than most renditions.
And hockey fans were far from happy with David’s butchering of the anthem, with one saying: “What was the name of the word-slurring inebriated dude who just ‘sang’ the national anthem at the #CarolinavsFlorida hockey match?”
Another said: “Terrible anthem in FLA ….dragged it onnnn and onnnn. Cmon, it’s not about you, dufus.
“I thought that 100-year-old vet was gonna stop saluting and Hai Karate his a**. Winner of The Voice, ugh.”
And another said: “Sometimes I wonder if the anthem singers [are] vetted because that was not the American anthem.
“Dude has a good voice, but that was not how you do the anthem.”

“But instead, mumbled who knows what.’
Even ESPN hockey reporter Greg Wyshynski chimed in, saying: “The military hero of the game is 100 years old.
“I think he’s now 102 after that anthem.”
The Panthers took a 3-0 series win with a 6-2 win at the Amerant Bank Arena thanks to four goals in four minutes.
