Wow is right. For all the huffing and puffing that TSN calling itself Canada's hockey leader etc etc over the years, and all the staff that theyve acquired strictly for hockey (Dreger, McKenzie, Cuthbert, Miller, the list goes on), to get outbid is absolutley huge.

Are those guys going to stick around there for WJHC? Cuthbert and Miller just going to call regional games or CFL games? CBC and Rogers have the next two Olympics as well, IIRC?

Does CBC get their theme back, for pennies on the dollar from TSN?

This is huge news.
