MOSCOW -- It's a series so super, the major Canadian sports networks are putting competition aside and calling a truce. TSN, and its sister station RDS, will work this week hand-in-hand with Sportsnet to provide "wall-to-wall live coverage" of the eight-game 2007 Super Series.

Sportsnet and TSN have an amalgamated crew in Russia with one shared broadcast team and production crew. This is the second time they've co-produced, following joint coverage of last summer's 2006 FIFA World Cup.

Sportsnet's Peter Loubardias will provide play-by-play alongside TSN game analyst Pierre McGuire.
