I've written on Battle of the Blades before - the TV show in Canada where former hockey players team up with figure skaters to do figure skating routines. It's basically Dancing with the Stars on ice.
I have been looking up past performances on Youtube, and they're pretty funny. The hockey players tend to be really stiff, while the female figure skaters dance around them. I would totally love this show if it airs in the U.S.
Mr. Y found out that one of the bloggers on Yahoo!'s Puck Daddy blog is actually covering the show. He does not hide his disdain for the show, and his writing is pretty funny. Check out the first two entries:

The judges sound pretty bad, too. Jeremy Roenick was just hitting on the female figure skaters, and Sandra Bezic spouts off crazy sayings. She was already the Paula Abdul of the figure skating commentators, and now she sounds even worse. Total train wreck.
I really, really wish this show airs here. :)
