	It's a pity we cannot get any Canada Cup coverage in southern
California. As far as I know, only the Sportschannel and Madison Square
Garden Channel in New York televise the games, while none of the nation-wide
cable channels, like WTBS, ESPN, USA, etc., cover the tournament.

	Can you imagine ABC televising all Team USA games during
the winter Olympics, but ignoring the Canada Cup?
Hey, that team is only an amateur team seeded 7 among 8 teams;
the current Team USA is an all-pro team with Rod Langway, Brian
Trottier, Al Jensen, and xxx (the Buffalo goalie, the best in NHL).
The Canadian Team is also loaded with future Hall of Famers, 
including the great Gretzky.
The is a real good chance for our hockey teams to prove who is
No. 1, NHL or the Soviets.
This is a real hockey tournament, not the Winter Olympics, which 
featured Soviet veterans and American kids. 
Can anyone tell me why all the networks ignore it?
