    It's typcal Canadian bureaucratic BS= If it ain't broek break it on the taxpayer. I LOVE the HNIC theme, still gives me a chill up my spine at the start of a game and especially the playoffs.

    A lot of sportscasters in Edmonton are saying 'who cares?'

    For me, it's a classic example of the CBC ****ing up a perfectly good tradition.

    grrr..

    If it ain't broke break it on a taxpayer? They are doing this to save costs. $500 everytime they play it.

    Either way, from what I heard, it can still be used. Just the contract expired. A new contract can still be developed, and I hope they do.

    How about they get rid of the loud mouth Don Cherry:idea: and save some money that way??? Sorry to all my friends north of the border, but his stupid comments about Detroit not being Hockey Town didn't sit well with most of us in Detroit.....But then again i guess we got the last laugh by bringing the cup back to Detroit.

    Perhaps they wish for the "good old days" and want to return hockey to it roots, a sport played by girls in a pasture with bent sticks. I am not sure what sport "real men" played in the old days.

    Don is definitely hit or miss for me. The strangest things about him, which I never knew before, is he hardly knows any of the players. He was talking about Lecavalier, and how he is one of his favorites, he's never met the guy. I thought it was really strange.

    I am not a Don fan. I used to be one, but then I developed my own opinion. I do appreciate his classic hard nosed approach toward the sport, but not his conservative bs.

    No, football is something you play when the ice melts.

    Anybody watch Canada AM this morning? Wow, were they ever gloating. The theme became their music for both the weather and business report.

    The theme is like the Force, you must use it wisely.:D
    Hopefully that was just to throw a little salt in CBC's wounds, not a continual thing.

    As a side note (man, I'm full of asides tonight), last night I was reading The Microphone Wars by Knowlton Nash for my volunteer narration. It details the history of the CBC, which is actually more interesting than one would think. I ended up recording the chapter on the push by Graham Spry and Alan Plaunt and their Canadian Radio League for a national public radio station.

    I swear the book isn't as dry as it sounds; I had no idea Knowlton Nash was such a great writer.
