Without missing a beat, Toronto Maple Leaf fans picked up "The Star Spangled Banner" right where the featured singer had left off, followed by cheers from the entire arena.

The fans went on to sing "O Canada" afterward.

The Nashville Predators beat the Toronto Maple Leafs last night, but it's safe to say the brotherly love remains strong.
