Default Re: Favorite Uncomfortable Sports Broadcasting Moments

In 1994, the Canadian Olympic hockey team fell in the gold medal game after a heartbreaking shootout against Sweden. CTV reporter Rod Black buttonholed winger Todd Hlushko coming off the ice. On live TV, Black pointed out that Hlushko's father, while on his deathbed, had urged him to bring home a gold medal. Hlushko's father then passed away shortly before the Games. What, Black asked, would his father think of the team winning only silver?
