I know that they're a Canadian station, covering a team Canada game for a mostly Canadian crowd, but being pro-Canada doesn't mean you have to ignore the otehr great players out there...
Take Conz (the Swiss goalie) for example. I'm watching the game right now and he made 3 or 4 GREAT saves in a span on 10 seconds and what did Gord Miller and Pierre McGuire have to say about it? "Wow, what a good break out pass by so-and-so" not a word about Conz....

This is so true! Especially the part about McGuire. I am a huge Habs fan, but I would rather watch the games in french on RDS (and I barely understand french) even if they are air it in english on TSN only because I will end up throwing my remote control at Peirre McGuire and ultimately destroying my tv. A buddy and me actually wrote a letter...more like a hate mail to TSN about him. One minute he's praising a player the next he's trashing him. You hear his voice more than the play by play announcer.

TSN has been unbearable for me since the lockout year at the World Juniors.
Phaneuf hit a Swiss kid hard and Pierre laughed and called the kid on embellishment.
He was carried out on a stretcher and did not return. No apology, nothing.
As far as coverage goes, unless you want to know cute facts on Canadian players- they offer nothing. It's like they don't even know 5 players on the other team.
I was fortunate enough to go to 3 games this year- which saves my ears from Pierre's bullshit.
