Anaheim Ducks star Trevor Zegras injected some humor into a post-game interview last week, joking that the unique rendition of the national anthem before their game against the Nashville Predators may have been a factor in the team's slow start. The Ducks ultimately fell to the Predators.
"I don't know what that was, but it definitely threw us off a little bit," Zegras said with a smile. While clearly tongue-in-cheek, his comments sparked some lighthearted debate among fans online. Some agreed that the unusual performance may have been distracting, while others dismissed the suggestion as simply a joke.
The Ducks have been working to improve their consistency throughout games. Whether or not the anthem played a role, the team is focused on executing their game plan from the first puck drop to the final buzzer.
