ARTHUR:
Today's matchups really need no introduction. These are legitimate rivals, not to mention (although they repeatedly did) rematches of the last three Gold Medal games. And yet, the current TV schedule had me rubbing my eyes.
NBC Los Angeles (4)
MSNBC (49)
-From the NBC Olympics website's TV Listings.
Why, exactly, is the US/Canada game not on NBC? I guess it's all the same. It's not like too many people are going to be watching the game on broadcast television. Plus, there are plenty of superstars and medal hopes to go around; it's not like any of these games is a dud on the NBC flagship station. Still, if you were a casual fan, and someone called you at 4pm today to tell you the US/Canada game was starting, wouldn't you turn your TV to NBC? Then maybe CNBC? I don't know if the network TV advertising rates for the Olympics are the same as cable, but I'm no longer surprised that NBC is losing hundreds of millions of dollars to broadcast this event.
All eyes will fall on the USA/Canada game, but I suggest you resist the urge to go to bed early and miss the Finland/Sweden game. Happy gameday!

Btw those are the times for Eastern Standard. Not Pacific.

those should all be pacific times. I pulled it from the NBC Olympics website after selecting Los Angeles NBC4 as my market. The Winter Olympics coverage on NBC starts after Monk at noon, but I don’t think it begins with the Russia game.

confirmed
the russia game will be broadcast on delay at 3pm. So, even with the games evenly spaced, NBC is choosing to overlap the Russia game broadcast with the USA/CAN MSNBC broadcast, littering both with “Leno Back at Tonight Show” commercials. How is this network not out of business yet.

Watching the Russia game right now.
It’s really brutal to watch.

I can only find a Russian language stream on Rajangan. They’re not playing around.

woop, just heard the tape delay on the west coast is TV only. nbcolympics.com has the game streaming.

haha, for once your geographical placement does right by your hockey watching. I’ve been learning russian for 20 minutes

updated the pic section of this post with some hype videos
for some reason, I can’t find any AP images for the olympics on SBN. The counselor in me refuses to use anyone else’s pictures without permission.

it’s not the greatest pre-game, and there are a A LOT of local commercials, so much so that I’m thinking NBC is moronic to put this game on MSNBC.
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Feb 21, 2010 4:33 PM PST up reply actions
yes NBC is probably moronic to do so but really I think it is just as moronic to have all these other games delayed for the olympics

they are def. getting some good shots off on us
Draft Mocker/ Co-Leader of yearly 7 round live mock draft at MtD
they’re pouring it on, but they’re also trying low percentage stuff from the goal line, and the USA D seems to be hip to that
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Feb 21, 2010 5:08 PM PST up reply actions
Wow we only have 4 shots on goal to there 11

no, this should be live. only one delayed game today
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Feb 21, 2010 5:16 PM PST up reply actions
and that delay was only for us.
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Feb 21, 2010 5:16 PM PST up reply actions
canada’s making a lot of bad passes. North/south they’re trying to pass through defenders, and on the lateral passes, they’re not getting to the open ice.
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Feb 21, 2010 5:16 PM PST reply actions
he heh. we're shooting 33%. Low shots are fine by me.
by Arthur from Anaheim Calling on Feb 21, 2010 5:19 PM PST reply actions
in all seriousness, it’s good for the US that Marty’s taking that .666 back to the locker room. Must be killing him right now.

yeah, I liked it. It’s tough to gauge interest in non-Ducks games, but Bobby’s part of a great, maybe historic, team right now, so we’ll probably have some traffic on the next USA game.

Hammered in Vancouver
USA USA USA. Wow so many Americans up here. This was a huge win for us. Yeah we were outnumbered 2 to 1 or more tonight in the stands but wow what a win. As for our ducks…. they looked ok. Miller was amazing (authur you were right in wanted him in the question of the day) and stole the show. That is it from Vancouver. Go ducks and go USA! Time to pass out.
awesome thanks for the info.
