And have read and heard that LCD flat panels do not handle sports well - which was mentioned in this thread. Should I go with another, different type of tv? Or, is watching hockey on an LCD flat panel just bad compared to a plasma - or is it bad compared to every other tv out there including tube? If I should go with another tv, what do you recommend (I'll probably spend around $1500)?
You should really try to find a sony. Their LCD's are a step above everyone elses right now, and have the fastest response times (less motion blur). It should be great for hockey. Although Panasonic make arguably the best plasmas, they are not known for their lcds.

You can find this one for under $1000 online in the US. You should be able to find it in your price range in Canada with some searching:
