Stephen Colbert Buys the Hockey Night in Canada Theme Song
Stephen Colbert hilariously desecrates a Canadian treasure! This is the funniest segment I have seen on the show in a long time.
CTV “Saves” the Hockey Theme Songs - Reports CTV’s TSN.ca, most unbiasedly of course
So, recently we find out that the famous dun-dun-dun-dun-da opening theme to CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada will no longer be used on the program, due to a negotiation dispute with the song’s copyright holders.
Today we find out that it’s been snapped up by CTV, to be used on TSN’s Wednesday night NHL hockey broadcasts.

Stanley Cup Finals: Game 6 - Detroit Red Wings vs Pittsburgh Penguins - 6/04/08
It’s over! Detroit finally wins the Cup.
Clearly not the result I was looking for but I have to hand it to the Red Wings. They played a tight-checking, hard fought 6 games.
My thoughts on the series:
Detroit is the most disciplined, well-organized, best coached team in the NHL. They have the ability to just shut-down the [...]
Stanley Cup Finals: Game 5 - Detroit Red Wings vs Pittsburgh Penguins - 6/02/08
OT Thriller!
A win is a win, and an overtime win in a game you didn’t deserve, is even better.
Game 5 was HUGE game by Marc Andre Fleury! His saves kept me awake for all 3 overtime periods (as if the gravity of the situation wasn’t excitement enough)
I say they bench Malkin for game 6. [...]
Stanley Cup Finals: Game 4 - Detroit Red Wings vs Pittsburgh Penguins - 5/31/08
It’s not looking good for the Pens.
They played a pretty decent game last night, but the goose egg during the MINUTE & A HALF, 5 ON 3 power play late in the 3rd was the nail in the coffin.
I think that it will likely go down as the series turning point. A goal there [...]
Stanley Cup Finals: Game 3 - Detroit Red Wings vs Pittsburgh Penguins - 5/28/08
Finally!!
Sidney is very close to living up to the unbelievable expectations placed on him since a very young age. One of the most inspired playoff performances I’ve seen in a while.
Ex-Leaf Hal Gill nearly blew it for them with his dumb penalties. He had been playing so well for the majority of the playoffs, [...]
Stanley Cup Finals: Game 2 - Detroit Red Wings vs Pittsburgh Penguins - 5/26/08
Are the Pens ever going to score a goal??
This is crazy! They have Crosby, Malkin, Hossa, Staal, Sykora . . . they should be able to put a few in the net.
Is it youth? Are they “just happy to be here”?
This is quite a big hill to climb. They better be better come game 3 [...]
Stanley Cup Finals: Game 1 - Detroit Red Wings vs Pittsburgh Penguins - 5/24/08
I’ve decided to do a 4-7 part series covering the Stanley Cup Finals here on Blog O’Blackmore. I feel this fits in well with the blog theme - anything I want. No fair and balanced reporting here; I’m cheering for the Pens. Despite living in Michigan for 2 years, and despite the fact that [...]
Russia beats Canada, wins 2008 World Hockey Championship . . .
I missed this game because I was at my girlfriend’s grandma’s house for a Sunday picnic. Typical of a Grandma, she only has up to channel 28! I was disappointed at first but now I am glad I missed it because it would have sucked to see Canada lose on account of such [...]
