The Grammy-winning singer also performed the American national anthem ahead of Game 7
Even the singing of the national anthems was competitive Monday night ahead of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers.
Canadian singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette performed "O Canada" and "The Star-Spangled Banner" before a sellout crowd at Amerant Bank Arena.
A vocal contingent of Edmonton fans — there were several large pockets of supporters throughout the lower bowl — nearly drowned out Morissette as they belted out the lyrics to the Canadian anthem.
Panthers fans tried their best to one-up the effort by bellowing the American anthem as a smiling Morissette delivered on the mic from ice level.
Morissette, who is from Ottawa, is best known for her 1995 multi-platinum release Jagged Little Pill. The album included songs such as "You Oughta Know," "All I Really Want" and "Ironic."
The Panthers won the first three games of the best-of-seven series but the Oilers followed with three straight wins of their own to force a decisive Game 7. The Panthers won the game and captured the Stanley Cup.
