Tune To NBC Right Now!!

Re: Tune To NBC Right Now!!

By the way, Luongo, should have been in goal and not Brodeur.

I agree 100% I was praying that Brodeur would be in nets. My father is a HUGE Devils fan and said the US would win if Marty played.

As a Sabres fan... IT'S MILLER TIME!!!

Believe it or not, CTV coverage in general has been much better than CBC. I live in Canada and a group of networks got together to produce the Olympics this time. CTV, Sportsnet, TSN, RDS (a consortium).
I am sure that is true, but we only get the CBC station from Kingston here in Utica. (Looking to curl again next year!)

It's not better if you can't watch it :(

NBC video of the goals scored in the Canada/USA hockey game. It seemed that almost all the goals were scored on rebounds off point shots. Of course, both teams always had a number of players in perfect position to finish.

"You just can't beat it. It was fun," said Paul Stastny, whose father, Peter, opposed that 1980 team while playing for Czechoslovakia. "It was a once-in-a-lifetime atmosphere."

And the Miracle on Ice team?
There's links to this team: Ryan Suter, who had two assists, is the son of 1980 defenseman Bob Suter. And defenseman Brooks Orpik, steady throughout, is named for Herb Brooks, the 1980 coach.
:cool:

Nice job by the AP missing the more ovvious link to the miracle team...
 
Re: Tune To NBC Right Now!!

NBC is s-o-o-o-o pathetic. Showing the hockey game on msnbc while showing ICE DANCING!!! on NBC proves how low they have dropped in relevancy. Showing the hockey on msnbc was a calculated move to improve viewership and try to cut into Fox News' ratings. It worked....but only while the Olympics are on.:p

I don't understand why the ice dancing wouldn't have played well on MSNBC (whatever that is). In Northfield that's a digital only channel, and I'm retired and cheap. :D

And, will wonders never cease:
Wednesday 3 PM (ET) on NBC: USA vs. SUI/LAT (live)

And about 4:30 (ET) today 30 years ago -- one of the best pregame speeches ever made:

(Ironic - this was filmed in Vancouver)

And if they lose, they will take it to their *** graves -- to their *** graves.

I don't remember them saying *** on NBC when they were interviewing Eruzione, Johnson and Craig. I do recall *** being said on the HBO special, that had to be a good motivating speech.

I get it that the NHL and hockey in general are not huge ratings grabbers, but seriously, ice dancing? Is there really a larger following for ice dancing than men's hockey? What has probably become the most intense rivalry in international hockey was not good enough for NBC's prime time coverage?

Agreed 100% - NBC does not belong in the same category as ABC, CBS and Fox (to some degree).

Is it because the game was MSNBC the reason why the camera angles were shifted to the left?:p

Unfortunately, that is absolutely true.

The fact is, whether any of us like it or not, all kinds of figure skating get the top ratings in America over any other Olympic sport. It isn't even close.

However, I sure would love to see what the hockey game ratings were last night.
