What would you rather watch
I was sitting down watching the hockey game between Canada and German when out of nowhere, they change it to men's figure skating. I was like "what the fuck, who in their right mind would turn off hockey to show figure skating". So I decided to put this poll up to see how many people watch figure skating.

The CBC was discussing what they would be showing. They planning for 100% hockey unless the hockey game was under control or a blowout, for one side or the other. Then they felt they could switch back and forth... which they ended up doing.

^ i agree.
in any case, i'm voting for figure skating. 'cuz it's actually really cool.

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever

i watched half the game before i had to leave for work so i didnt see it all
but i cant believe they actually cut it off, the only thing a lot of Canadians even care about in the olympics is hockey
Yeah it's true, Hockey is the highest rated/watched event in Canada as far as viewers go, so it's true that it's the most important.
However they didn't completely cut off hockey. They just cut away for a few minutes to watch the routines of the Canadian skaters. It was still annoying as hell, but after every Canadian routine they'd go back to hockey. They did continue to air the game right until the end also.
