BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Before Game 5 of the Buffalo Sabres Stanley Cup Playoff matchup against the Boston Bruins at KeyBank Center, anthem singer Cami Clune's microphone cut out during the Canadian national anthem, but Sabres fans quickly stepped in and belted out "O Canada."

"It turned into such a cool moment, because, I mean, it just showed what an amazing fan base we have, that they joined in," Clune said. "You know, we're the City of Good Neighbors, and that's just a testament to that."

The moment has since gone viral on social media.
