Loud Mouth Soup Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 It got less coverage in the Toronto Metro paper than a kid form Oakville signing a 3 month contract with Dundee. One paragraph in the left column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red card Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 didn't see anything on sportsnet connected last night - nothing on their home page today. Nothing on TSN's home page - only UEFA Champions League has a blurb. 55k sporting event occurred in Canada last night and the Cdn media is oblivious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their story on the Impact is mainly a condescending smirk at Grande's (admittedly cringe-worthy) "this is a soccer nation not a hockey nation" comment.

jonovision Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I watched the French CBC coverage for the whole game, and I really enjoyed it. It helps that the colour guy knew the Impact inside and out. And the play-by-play man brought back memories from switching away from HNIC because I was tired of watching the Leafs and checking out the Habs game on SRC.

masster Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 quote:Originally posted by Cheeta ^As of 9 AM EST it's the most viewed article on The Globe & Mail website's sports page. CBC is of course giving it top billing and JDV has a complaint or two in his blog about the coverage as well. Didn't see one word mentioned about it on Fox Soccer Report though they did have Houston's match highlights from Tuesday. That will come tonight. They are always a day behind on the "late" games.

Daniel Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Huge paper coverage in Montreal. 2-3 pages per paper, front-page pictures of the Ultras, Sebrango, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People here, I guess, are more concerned with our two women's curling teams crashing out of the Scott Tournament of Hearts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
