I am watching most of this game on the CBC in Canada.

Occaisionally however I switch to NBC to hear what John Davidson and Darren Pang have to say. The only problem is that every time I switch they seem to be on a commercial break.

The CBC is aware that this game will very likely be the highest rated hockey game in history and also their highest rated moment in decades, however they are showing the game COMMERCIAL FREE!!! The only time we see advertisements is during the intermissions.

The difference between the two broadcasters is that we see where their priorities lie. One is more interested in the almighty dollar where the other is accomodating to the almighty fan.

Heading into period number three it is 3-2 Canada.

Bring us home the gold boys!!!!!
