What a save on Malkin! The Russians look utterly miserable when they zoomed in on the bench.
 
TSN, or CTV I guess, keeps bringing up the Crosby/Ovechkin angle. Come on, guys, its been a non-factor this game. Move on.
 
Once again proving what mathematicians already knew: 87 > 8. :D


Any comments on the Semin v. Boyle debacle? Semin's hit was bad enough, but Boyle's retaliation was just plain dirty. He shouldn't have gotten out of it with a mere 2 minute penatly.
 
What a night for Canada! We demolish Russia in hockey, win bronze in speed skating, and go 1-2 in women's bobsleigh! :D :D :D

EDIT: Seems I missed a silver in speed skating there as well!

Yup, awesome!

Yep. We crossed the line in 3rd, but the Koreans (who were in 1st) got disqualified for impeding the Chinese (2nd) at one point. Boy was that coach pissed off when the refs were talking to him.

It ended up with China getting gold, Canada getting silver, and the US (who fell back early on in the race) being bumped up to bronze.
 
Must be that new goalie the Canadians used tonight.

Luongo ain't new...and he's one of the best goalies in the NHL. :p

But I think that game was all Canada's offense tonight. Luongo didn't do anything too spectacular in net. And how annoying was it when the announcers at the end commented how Ovechkin had a long bus ride home but Crosby must be feeling good about himself after tonight? Did he even do anything? I mean, I like Crosby, but let's give credit to players like Getzlaf, Morrow, Perry and Boyle for tonight.
 
Oh my God, NBC might have just finally entered the 21st Century. Either that or this is just a way for the freaking network to get back into some good graces. I say too fucking late for that.

Friday US Game actually Live

NBC says it will show Friday's US hockey game live across all time zones



By Associated Press February 24, 2010 | 4:20 p.m.



NEW YORK (AP) — After once again annoying Olympic hockey fans, NBC has promised to broadcast the U.S. men's team's next game live in all time zones.

The network aired the Americans' 2-0 victory over Switzerland on Wednesday live in the Eastern and Central time zones. It was on a one-hour tape delay in the Mountain time zone and two-hour delay for the West Coast. It wasn't immediately clear why the network didn't show the game live across the United States. NBC streamed it live everywhere on its Olympics Web site.

The United States will play the winner of the Czech Republic-Finland game on Friday in a semifinal at the Vancouver Games.

Some viewers vented their anger on the Web. San Francisco viewer Elrod May wrote on Twitter: "Once again NBC fails during the winter olympics, I have to watch the men's hockey game on msnbc.com."

On Sunday, the Americans' 5-3 upset victory over Canada was aired live on MSNBC — not NBC, which was showing figure skating — and only briefly touched upon during NBC's prime-time Olympics broadcast. That made some fans angry, but NBC rarely airs such a lengthy live event in its prime-time Olympics coverage.

Now, how about that Gold Medal game? Right now that schedule is taped delayed Cross Country skiing followed by the Hockey game 3 hours later at 3:00 PST, tape delayed. If that is still the schedule on Sunday what is happening on Friday will not matter one bit. It might actually piss more people off moreso than what is going on already.
 
^ Yeah, Crosby was a non-factor tonight, as was Ovechkin. Of course, that was the match-up everyone wanted to hype, what actually happened be damned... :rolleyes:

ETA: This was to Hunter.
 
Oh wow, saw the Korens lost their gold in the relay, so Canada got bumped to silver!

The Koreans are pissed
