How about those viewing audience figures for Sunday's game?

Some 26.5 million Canadians took in part of Canada's 3-2 overtime win over the U.S.That's AWESOME. Proportionately, that's like... some 260 million Americans watching something. IDK if you've noticed, but this country is slightly hockey mad ( Read more... )

Guys, I think I'm going to need a 20 step program to adjust this week. I think CTV needs to slowly wean me off with MOAR VIDEO MONTAGES. Maybe some interviews with the athletes. YES! And we can talk about all the little things that went right and wrong in the hockey and start preparing for 2014, and... and ( Read more... )

One of my favourite things about this year's Olympics being on CTV is that we no longer have to get Don Cherry's "analysis" of the hockey games between periods (instead CTV has this "hockey panel" and they are all so srs bsns and cute about it and I kind of adore them).

My afternoon class was unexpectedly cancelled, so I've had a few extra hours to sit around at home... not... catching up homework and instead panicking about the game versus Russia tonight ( Read more... )

CTV just dragged out Wayne Gretzky to basically go, "GUYS, GUYS CHILL. IT'S OKAY. THE TEAM MANAGEMENT KNOWS WHAT IT'S DOING. CALM THE FUCK DOWN RIGHT NOW." lol, oh Canada.

But basically the game can be summed up by this one gif:

Okay, this is the thing when it comes to me and nationalism in the Olympics. I get ridiculously into the competition and the races, but I don't really like gloating about winning (unless it's hockey) and repeated viewings of Bilodeau's winning medal set to I Believe makes me roll my eyes and sometimes gag into the corner ( Read more... )
