Oh No Canada!

From IMDB.com:

ABC Prays for No All-Canada Stanley Cup
Expected low ratings for a possible all-Canada Stanley Cup could prove to be a disaster for professional hockey, the Toronto Star observed today (Wednesday). Noting that the playoffs have been attracting audiences only slightly better than arena football in the U.S., the newspaper observed that if Vancouver and Ottawa wind up as the final contenders, the NHL championship “could challenge the late, unlamented XFL as the lowest-rated primetime sports broadcast ever.” It further noted that ABC’s $600-million deal with the NHL comes up for renewal next year and that such a ratings result could put the renewal in peril.

Yeah, I’m sure all they’re doing is praying. Let’s keep an eye on those referees, shall we?
