Default 2010 Olympics: USA vs Canada

Figured this matchup could use its own thread

FYI - We went to DVR this and didn't have MSNBC in HD. I looked on the Dish site and it said we should since we have the 250 package + HD. I pulled up the online chat with Dish and they "reauthorized" our receiver which made the HD channel available to us. Just wanted to post in case anyone else had the same issue.

Wonder if that would work with DirecTV? That's the only Olympic channel we have that's not in HD, so of course that's where NBC shows this game.

What an incredible hockey day this is going to be!

Russians vs. Czechs
US vs. Canada
Finns vs. Swedes

Had to sleep in to make sure I could hold out for the duration.

Holy cow this is awesome.

Yes, indeed, it's a great day for hockey.

I have spent some of the morning reading all the USA/Canada rivalry stories, and hub got this one sent to him, and it's just funny--- so typically low key of Gleason:

Lots at stake for US/Canada on Super Sunday

and I loved the Puck Daddy column and tweet where Ryan Kesler said, when asked about Canada "We hate them".

Is this the only game we get to see today?

ETA, nevermind! I see AO and Jagr are about to play on regular NBC.

so i dont understand, your own country versus your biggest hockey rival in primetime on a sunday night on a channel everyone can get, sounds like an ideal situation to me but i guess not. i know not everyone likes hockey, not everyone likes ice skating, curling, or luge either but that is forced on us in primetime, i think for one night hockey can be forced on everyone. instead we get to watch it on msnbc, some in HD, some not at all but czech republic vs russia?, you can watch that one on nbc!

Hey its NBC, nobody has confused them with knowing what they are doing lately...

I'm sure it will be a MSNBC record, nobody watches that network.

Y'know, people like to talk a lot of sh*t about Americans and our guns, but I think it's pretty damn funny that Canada is considering shutting down the liquor stores for the game tonight, apparently due to bad behavior.

I'm irritated that tonight's game isn't on NBC but, whatever skating thing they're showing is actually a medal event, whereas this is preliminary round game. That actually makes a lot of sense to me.

Well it sounds like people are expecting a route by the Canadians.

Well, I think technically, Sidney Crosby put it past Princess but, either way!

Told everyone Crosby was better than Ovechkin!


Keep it up, boys!!!

I have no problem cheering against Princess Marty, but it sure is hard to pull for Miller and the Princess' NJ teammates ...

Just cheer for the jersey and forget who is wearing it. I keep forgetting that I don't want to remember who #3 is.

I'm pulling for Staaly to be overcome by Hurricane-ness and score on Brodeur.

Ok... that works. Crazy amount of red jerseys in the stands.

Can you believe hubby didn't think it was 'worth it' to try to go? I am less then 6 hours away!! How many people can say in their lifetimes that the Olympics are that close???
