I'm a big fan of Metric and I thought they did a pretty good job. One thing to remember is that watching a band play a big venue on TV will always look and sound a bit off. Part of it's being there.

I do think Calgary, or the Flames, or the NHL or whomever was in charge of doing the entertainment hit the nail on the head with their selections. You got decent and interesting bands on the way up instead of just trying to go for the overhyped flavor or the month or ancient 70's has-beens. A nice in-between that made sure a lot of demographics could be interested and brought in bands that wouldn't try and overplay the game or moment.
