personally, I thought the tv sucked. how many times, did nbc cut into a zoomed in shot of the play, and miss some part of the action? they also always cut away when "something" happened away from the play and they never showed you replays of questionable calls. Fuck this george bush administration style of hockey. the officials were having their own little gitmo out there on the ice and tv media went along with it. There were a couple times, when I heard the announcers question a call early in the playoffs, go to a commercial during which they obviously get reprimanded by someone in charge and after the commercial do the apologist bullshit. "oh, we got to see a different angle, but we're not going to show it to you."
Yes the TV sucked. The solution is watching it on the CBC if at all possible. Anyone who has ever lived within broadcasting distance of the border knows you never choose the American version. Since moving away from Detroit I've been stuck with this shit coverage and it drives me insane.
