Sorry, I wholeheartedly disagree on the coverage being terrible. I find CTV/TSN/SNET's combo coverage to be quite the opposite actually. It's absolutely terrific. I've seen virtually every hockey game and every event I've wanted to watch, which is pretty much all of them. Most of them LIVE.
NBC has some good interest pieces on the athletes but yes, their actual coverage is spotty. Once in a while you hit on something good but too often they're just recapping and showing results from events instead of the whole event live.

Agreed, the combo of all 3 has been great. Rarely has there been an event I wanted to watch that wasn't live on the network. And the rare time to many events at once, they show it asap and usually within a 1/2 hour of it happening so you can not know the results.
I was worried with CBC losing the rights, but am pleasantly surprised with CTV/TSN/Sportsnet. Well with the exception of the douchebag Michael Landsberg doing his bits.
