Where's Wellwood Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I think there's too many games on Sportsnet, and too few games on TSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 If TSN aired more games and had a HD channel, it would certainly be the best, But it has neither. They did do the olympics though, so i give them that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananas Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 CBC is absolute crap. Jim Houston is the only good part of the entire corporation. I like TSN, but prefer SNet. The thing I like about SNet is that they lay out the facts and base their opinions on them. TSN feeds a little too much into the dramas and controversies. CBC is just totally brutal.
