I haven't heard the word girl once and have been very happy with how much importance they've placed on the women's contribution to these Olympics. It was nice to see the post-game men's hockey interview, where Jonathan Toews gave the women's team credit for inspiring them to work harder on offense. So .... it's not been all coverage, some has been very, very good.
