Prozac Hockey

The CBC is again replaying the women hockey championship game between Canada and Sweden right now. The game is days ago and the men’s Canada-Russia game far more recent. I guess it is like taking Prozac or cocaine to fight the depression resulted from the men’s pitiful performance. You have to admit that someone in the CBC can see into the future when they booked the 72 series mini-series. I was wrong when I complained about the series because we do need to remember that we did, sort of, once beat the Russian in hockey! The sad thing though is that they do not remember that the first high is the greatest and rest of addiction is but a futile chase back to that perfect euphoria. Casey and Haley and Vicky certain dominated and Paul is still suspended in mid-air; but this version of the men’s team still laid claim to the title of the most pathetically uninspired of all time. While the high of watching the wins lessens with each viewing, the depression deepens. If CBC is really trying to do something, they should try to move us along to other steps of the program.
