<<< he shoots, he scores >>>

Is anyone else out there disgusted with the USA Cable employees? Gary Green
constantly wanders when he talks and ends up in dead-ends, Al Albert misses
half the action, and Al Trautwig tries to hard to be cute. Mike Liut, added
for the finals for "expert" analysis, sounds like he is doing a job interview.
A couple of examples from tonight's (game 4 of the finals):
   1) Gary Green is extolling the virtues of Mark Howe. Then Howe makes a
      sliding breakup of an Oiler 2-on-1. Green goes ga-ga over the play.
      Of course, he neglected to mention that Howe started the rush with
      a terrible pass.
   2) Al Trautwig is outside on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River.
      He is talking about the state of the ice surfaces in Edmonton and
      Philadelphia and points to some unmelted snow. He proceeds to call
      it GLACIAL ICE that NEVER melts all summer! With sports coverage
      like this it is no wonder people in the USA have such misconceptions
      of life in Canada.

Sure makes me long for Hockey Night in Canada!
