Canada has some serious review to do after that game.

They have to get back to Canadian hockey,
instead of trying to make 2-3 passes for the pretty play.
Everyone seems reluctant to shoot the damn puck.

Yep, both the Summer and Winter olympics take place every 4 years. They do not take place the same year though, and alternate every 2 years.

^^ I've really enjoyed being able to jump from CTV to TSN to Sportsnet (all HD) and have fresh content most of the time.
We haven't had to resort to the US channels even once.

^ Yeah, it's been great. I've pretty much stuck with CTV for the most part and a little TSN. No watching NBC, ABC, CBS FTW!

The coverage by the consortium has been great!!!

I usually don't have a lot of good to say about Rogers cable,
but thy also have done a great job.
They set up a mix channel with a bunch of PIP of the Canadian channels.

Y'know, that's been one of the most impressive things about the coverage, I also appreciate the little alerts at the bottom saying what other events/presentations etc. are coming up on the other channels.

Speaking of Brian Williams, if we could just ditch old I Make my Own Segues, the coverage would be nigh on perfect.

I was so stressed out watching Canada/Switzerland last night. I really need to relax.
I don't even get that stressed on the bench with my rep team in our play-off games. Sheesh!
