Of course, then there's CBC.  :-)
 
On Monday night, Don Cherry ran a real-full of clips of cheap
stick shots...mostly high sticks to the face/head.  He complained
that the instigator rule is ruining the game because if someone
sticks you in the face, you can't punch them for fear of being
tossed.  When the highlights (cheap shots) were rolling, he
said something to the effect of, "Look at that!  Jeez, it looks
like COLLEGE hockey!"  :-)
 
Fwiw...when Ron McLean interviewed Brendan Morrison
following the season, he didn't ask Brendan about playing
at Michigan...he wanted Brendan to discuss his playing
days in the BCJHL with Penticton.  The entire segment could
have been titled, "A bunch of Canadian kids went to the
States and won the NCAA title (North Dakota's roster is
loaded with Canucks) and another one copped the Hobey
Baker Award...how about that!"
 
To be honest, I really like watching CBC and the abusive
pro-Canada slant.  I only cringe when they kick college
hockey, which they have been doing frequently of late.
 
As for Darren Pang...he's the volunteer goalie coach for
Notre Dame, so he'd BETTER be good at mentioning
college hockey when he gets a chance.
