Living in the US I get ESPN/ABC and it doesn't even come close to CBC.... I try to legally get the CBC network on my satelite but unfortuneately it doesn't. The announcers, color commentators... everything about it is better.... the only thing I liked about ESPN so far was that two years ago they used a distant cousin of mine as a commentator (Pat Verbeek.... for those who know who he is). But other than that... I think that ESPN/ABC are only concerned with ratings rather than the actual importance of the game itself. Melrose said that a Canadian team will never make it to the Cup and it happened and he so quickly changed it to a Canadian team will never win the Cup, and I've never liked him since. Someone needs to make him STFU. Pang is OK, Clement knows his stuff but Clement is in the same boat as Melrose.... screw 'em all and broadcast the damn CBC down here.
