I'd like to echo these sentiments. This is the worst coverage I can
ever remember seeing on CBC. As soon as the game ends, I can count to 30,
and by that time, they've signed off the air. No post game interviews,
no updating of late scores, nothin'. TSN is really putting CBC to
shame. I only hope the later round coverage improves, I mean, who
really wants to see CBC PrimeTime News instead of hockey.
My $.02,
Darren
