EDMONTON -- Edmonton Oilers fans are no strangers to the national anthem - or singing it when called upon.
While Rob Clark sang both anthems for Game one - they brought back a familiar face to sing the American anthem for game two in their series against the Los Angeles Kings.

Brett Kissel has sung his fair share of anthems over the past few years. While the crowd cheered him on when he performed the anthem - the cheers were nothing compared to when Clark sang the Canadian Anthem.
And just like in game one, Clark allowed the crowd to take over singing duties.
Fans took to social media to express their unhappiness with Kissel suddenly singing the anthem for game two.
Some responses were... less than PG.
It's clear that a lot of Oilers fans aren't a fan of Kissel. Most of that stems just from how loved Rob Clark is.
There won't be any Kissel anthems for the next two games on the road - but there is no telling if they bring him back for game five (although the likelihood is high.)
