....After further action we now move ahead in the game with the score 5 - 1 USA.

So I assume the women's hockey medal game(s) will be on NBC, perhaps even live?

Having NBC show the same two commercials over and over again on the internet feed is incredibly irritating!

OK, so I have to ask, because I honestly don't get it: where does all the animosity people seem to have towards Canada come from?

Maybe it stems from the fact that they cheer for whoever is opposing the US at all times? :confused:

In general, their hockey fans use up all the arrogance that Americans spread out amongst 50 different things, thus making them *******s of the highest level.

Aside from that, the country and people are great.

Booing the US Anthem at hockey games, arrogance about their hockey, booing the US players and cheering for the opponents in every game, snotty attitude, Quebec. ;)

I'd say it's two things. First, the sense of entitlement when it comes to winning major hockey events. Yeah, it's "their" game, we know. Which makes it a hell of a lot of fun when anyone, especially the US, beats them at it. ;)

Second, the US losing to Canada in any sort of direct 'one vs. the other' matchup feels a little bit like being beaten up by your kid brother.

You must spread rep... I figured it would be at least 3-4 posts before that quote popped up :)

I know how NBC worked. Look at yesterday. The Western and Mountain zones got hosed out of seeing the Czechs and Russians live. They got it at 6 pm an hour and a half before USA vs. Canada. They wanted to show some lousy X-Games like sport.
 
Re: Part IV of the XXIst Winter Olympiad Or All Your Hockey Are Belong to US

Anyone know if the US Men will continue to wear the throwbacks the rest of the tournament? Those are 100 times better than what they had before.
