Celine Dion Surprises with Spirited Bruins Lineup Announcement

Before the Boston Bruins faced off against the New York Rangers at TD Garden, the team received a special treat when music icon Celine Dion, accompanied by her two sons, Nelson and Eddy, announced the starting lineup. The Quebec-born singer infused the occasion with her signature charm, singing the players' names and incorporating their nicknames, including Danton Heinen's "Heinooooo!" and Charlie McAvoy's, while dubbing Jeremy Swayman as "Bulldog."

The event provided a moment of levity for the Bruins before they began the game. Dion, who has faced personal challenges, including a battle with stiff person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder, was warmly welcomed by the team and their fans. She watched the match from a VIP suite, and despite the Bruins' efforts, the Rangers emerged victorious with a score of 5-2, led by Artemi Panarin's hat trick.

Following the game, the Bruins are set to embark on a six-game road trip, starting in Philadelphia. The event at TD Garden, including Dion's lineup announcement, was part of the Bruins' ongoing efforts to maintain their standing in the Eastern Conference. Dion was later recognized as the Fan of the Game in the third period, underscoring her impact on the evening despite the team's loss.
