Canada - Russian 72

[apsham]

So what do Canadian viewers think about the four part mini-series? I love it so far...

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

Tonight was the first part, right?

Missed it due to just getting back from a trip to Chicago. Working tomorrow night.

I'll have to buy a DVD or something.

I missed it too, and I was looking forward to it.

[CKN]

I missed it but will be taping it at 11pm.

I am not sure, but I could've sworn that they showed part two as well. At least I think that the show was on for about two hours, and there was credits on at the end of one part. I'm glad I know the ending, because the first episode or so just makes us look like pricks. >.<

I keep on missing it.

That and Rick Mercer.

I'm like the worst Canuck ever.

I will say though, that they did Esposito's speech at the end of game four really good.

"To the people across Canada, we tried, we gave it our best, and to the people that boo us, geez, I'm really, all of us guys are really disheartened and we're disillusioned, and we're disappointed at some of the people. We cannot believe the bad press we've got, the booing we've gotten in our own buildings. If the Russians boo their players, the fans... Russians boo their players... Some of the Canadian fans—I'm not saying all of them, some of them booed us, then I'll come back and I'll apologize to each one of the Canadians, but I don't think they will. I'm really, really... I'm really disappointed. I am completely disappointed. I cannot believe it. Some of our guys are really, really down in the dumps, we know, we've trying, like, hell, I mean, we're doing the best we can, and they got a good team, and let's face facts. But it doesn't mean that we're not giving it our 150%, because we certainly are."

I thought the History of Canada thing (which cost some obscene amount of money) was pretty awesome overall.

I'll be getting this on DVD, as I love hockey movies. Mighty Ducks > you.
