Watched from start to finish. TSN knocked it out of the park by going the whole way commercial free (although I'm not sure what company would want to advertise at this time). A whole evening of prime time and they brought out all their heavy weights - it was a first class job. I've always thought Ray Ferraro was a good color guy but last night he topped anything he has done before in my opinion. As always his hockey analysis was great but being a former player, and one who played junior (BCJHL and WHL) he was able to relate to almost everything and did a fantastic job with the non game stuff too. How team mates bond, what the bus is like, what it's like to play junior, how the billet families factor into their lives etc. It seemed he always had something appropriate to say.
Was pleasantly surprised to see more Calgary kids on the current roster now than I would have otherwise expected, including two that my kids know from junior high school.
