It didn't look as bad on replays. Wait...are you actually suggesting that that wasn't just a completely horrible call? It was unspeakably bad. And deliberately bad.

Re: Winter Olympics
I also like the menu items at the top of the feed like 'standings' and 'startlist'. This is a very good start considering the coverage on CTV of Vancouver and London were a disaster.

I agree but Seabrook shoots right and remember he was a disaster in the Vancouver games, so much so 21 year old Drew Doughty took over most of his minutes. I'm thinking that the two Stanley Cups since then have given him some confidence. But, y'know, nobody acted that surprised when he wasn't named...
