Well, that was a whole lot of fun! I expected more cheeze, but it was actually relatively dairy-free (once you get past the whole concept, that is). The guys were really trying their hardest, just some with not quite as much success as others. Poor Bob Probert, for example, looked pretty stiff, as did Ken Daneyko. I predict that the bottom two that will have to battle it out tonight are Higgens/Daneyko and Lenko/Probert.
The highlight for me was seeing Christine "Tuffy" Hough back on the ice after so long ... and looking like she'd never left! It was obvious that she was having the time of her life. As was Barb Underhill -- the oldest of the women, but definitely not looking it. And how cool that she skated in hockey skates!
Not sure yet who I'd pick for the top pair, but I think it's between Hough/Domi, Bourne/Lemieux, and Underhill/Dugay.
If you missed it, the whole first episode is online, as well as some additional background footage. http://www.cbc.ca/battle/# (I don't think it's geoblocked but I don't know for certain.)
