SirM, i'm guessing that's the whole olympics, which has just a couple more events than World Junior Hockey, as well there are a few more countries involved in the Olympics, like 80+!

You got me googling info here SirM and i've found some interesting information.
This was reported on Jan 6th, 2009:
Team Canada's gold medal victory at the World Junior Hockey Championship last night has made ratings history for TSN as the most-watched broadcast of all time on the network.
Preliminary data revealed 3.7 million viewers watched Canada take its fifth consecutive gold medal in a 5-1 victory over Sweden. The audience surpassed TSN's previous audience high of 3.5 million viewers for the gold medal game at the 2003 World Junior Championship in Halifax.
The gold medal game on TSN is the most-watched program ever on a Canadian specialty channel and is also the most-watched program overall across all Canadian television this broadcast season. Audience levels for the game peaked at 4.7 million viewers at 9:58pm et, as Team Canada celebrated its victory in Ottawa.
I believe that was until this years Grey Cup.
Just shows that there are people watching out there. Maybe not in yours and GHouses circle of friends, but they're out there.

I kinda agree with Girth, although it was heartbreaking to watch the American's celebrating. Wanted so bad for Eberle to get the winner and cement his status in World Junior history as the best clutch performer ever.

Eberle is still the best clutch performer ever. Period.
The officiating (or lack thereof) is the real problem in International Hockey... That is the only thing that took away from last night. I'm not saying it was bad for any one team, or the reason Canada lost... It's just bad overall... It's too bad that we can't have just NHL refs doing the olympics and they have to invite those donkeys from Russia, Sweden, et al.
Canada did pretty good considering that their best D Man in Hamonic was out due to a bad cheap shot late in the Swiss game.
They just didn't have an answer for the top two Yank lines' pace. The States might have been the only better transition team in the tourney than our boys.
And... I'll agree with a lot of the talking heads (McKenzie, Maguire, Dreger, etc) that it is GOOD for international hockey that Canada didn't win this gold, bad for us, but good for the game overall. I just hate seeing them yanks win it, I would have preferred to lose the Swedes or Ruskis.

nope... it is just a stupid ploy for Pepsi to get in on the Olympics...
Coke is the official sponsor of the games, yet Pepsi is the official sponsor of Hockey Canada(they own Gatorade)... I read somewhere that they got this thing going at the IIHF World Juniors in Canada to try to have fingerprints on the Hockey at the Olympics in Vancouver. Since the IOC and IIHF have cokc-blocked Hockey Canada from their own things at the games (see uniform fiasco) Pepsi needs to ninja this in...
But it sounds terrible and comes off as weak, almost as weak as GM Place being prompted to shout WOOOOO after a Canuck goal...
Booo.

For a successful play at underground marketing to hijack the olympics see here:

I actually thought they were saying "Eh O Panago" at first. I was like wow, Panago has some real pull at the Juniors.
lol But then i saw, the Pepsi commercial and it explained it. There are just too many syllables in Canada to make a cheer. Go Canada Go, is good enough.I don't think Canada deserved silver, though US played good. Canada came back tied it up, and if it wasn't for Allen having an off-game Canada should have won it.
But that's what happens when you have the two best teams in the world playing. Two close overtime games, that could have gone either way. Awesome games to watch.

I actually thought that at first half the crowd started saying Pepsi's cheer, then as the game went on it sort of morphed back into Go Canada Go, cuz they realized how stupid it sounded saying Eh Oh, Canada Go.
