Canada vs. Germany in Cantonese LOL - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

On channel 3, it's regular Olympic hockey but one up on channel 4 on Omni, the game is broadcast in Cantonese. I called my parents and told them to watch.

I think I noticed other games in Hindi, are there any other languages that broadcast hockey? It's always fun to watch it in other languages.

The commentary is kind of hilarious. It's very amateurish. Just now they said:

"all the young guys on Canada, aside from Crosby, they don't seem to know where to go, they are skating all over the place"

when one of the players did a nice dangle it was:
"very pretty!"

The puck is also called a ball.

On running up the score on Germany: "it's not that germany has no flesh, but Canada has to try out each of its lines to see what works because they really don't know"
