the german channel of eurosport2 shows all games of canada and the semis and the final. so somehow they seem to have the rights to those games. looks like they simply take the TSN streams and use german commentators instead.
the last 2 years the same channel had even more games of the WJC.
from what i can tell, eurosport bought those games from TSN directly since no-one has exclusive rights in germany and other areas that eurosport will be broadcasting this (i believe TC gets decent ratings in UK).
No german, norwiegan, or swiss (but they lucked out, since all the big countries show their games against switzerland) networks bought broadcast rights. Who knows why. My guess is that they felt the demand wasnt worth the price, especially with so many late night games.

Yeah, no European network bought the rights to Canada's games(understandable), so I guess Eurosport figured they'd buy them. I'm happy for it, because this group has many interesting games. Also, I thought eurosport2 was the same in all countries, with the exception of local commentators at times, no? Usually I only watch Eurosport2 when they show the extra Grand Slam tennis there, so I couldn't tell.
