Canada will be facing the Czech Republic in the finals of the world hockey championships. Not that you'd know this if you lived in the US. Seems that no one here is airing the tournament, even though (according to Sports Illustrated) the broadcast rights were offered to American networks for free.

I know we're all on the outs with hockey because of the NHL lockout and all, but c'mon. Would we rather have the 2983rd airing of the 2003 World Series of Poker

(OK, based on ratings, "we" probably would.)

Still, this irritates me. Time to dash off some emails (Dear Sir: I am not a crackpot...)
