Extreme dissapointment and massive bitching and moaning on radio shows across the nation tomorrow
Alot of frustration that we are basically repeating 2006 loss in the QF to Russia
We'll get over it, but not for a couple of weeks will it disappear from the national conscious

Well over 1/2 the tv sets in Canada will be tuned into this, the bars might do better tonight than New Years Eve.
If we lose, we'll curse and blame everybody including the Zamboni driver and critique this team and wonder what went wrong for about a week, then we'll sober up. Quite honestly if I thought we had no chance, then I would have rather lost to Germany than the States and Russia in the same year, that would really suck.

Yeah....
The older I get...
The less passionate I am about sports....
Its just a fucking game....
Thats just it, to us we are sooooooo passionate about hockey, very similar to Americans and football. In America baseball may be your national past time but I think football is your passion, in Canada hockey is our passion and millions play the game into old age, there are rec leagues everywhere, even if you can't skate people still play. Thats one thing that amazes me about your country, you play many sports but you don't really have this kind of rivalry with other countries in like baseball or even basketball. You have a rivalry with us in hockey to a degree, and this past year has been good to you guys in hockey, but we'll get back to kicking your ass's soon enough. but for me Canada - Russia is still bigger, mainly because Russia produce's such high quality players.

Here in the states...
They didnt even broadcast last Sunday's game on national television....
Quite a difference.....
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

This blows my mind....doesn't NBC carry the Cup finals down there? You'd think they'd want to promote the game...what were they showing? I don't understand what could have possibly been a bigger draw down there than the pro's in a semi-major sport...
I feel like a kid waiting for xmas right now...gonna be so intense!

A bigger draw???
Ice Dancing....
And the network has the stats to prove it....
As a whole....On a Sunday night in America....More people will watch Ice Dancing than Hockey.....
And actually its not even close......
MILLIONS more will watch Ice dancing.......

Oh, you saw us win gold in ice dancing? How was that?
The game is going to be fantastic. It's unbelievable to me, though, that one of those two teams isn't going to medal. Ovechkin's going to be gunning for Sid, but if he expects him to crumble like Jagr did Vech has another thing coming...

I am gettin old and still play beer league...there is no team sport that comes even close to the level of fun...
And ya...in the four seasons since I started playing again, we've had four different people start that had never been on skates...we suck, but we have a blast
SPEEDY - I shouldn't be surprised, I guess...you guys made dancing with the stars a hit, and NASCAR always outdraws hockey.....:roll:

and if it is shown on nbc, the west gets all coverage tape delayed...for example, todays us/swiss game will be shown live in the east but delayed 3 hours out west...and yet their ratings are strong so they won't change :roll:
but the canada game will be shown live on msmbc to the entire country...logic is not their strong suit

I just found this out ... so, the US game will start 3 hours late on TV ... and, will overlap with the live coverage of the Canada Russia game which starts at 4:30, live.
Who's spectacularly fucktarded idea was this???

That is pretty damn fucktarded.
Especially when the result is ruined beforehand.

NBC and "promote the game" don't really belong in the same paragraph...
I couldn't care less though what network they put it on, we get them all in HD anyway so I can watch and that's really all who I care about

Exactly, once I start flipping over to the Russia v Canada game at 4:30, SOMEONE is going to mention the final score from the US game.
Looks like I'll try and find the US game live online ... wow. So, ridiculous.

How does that make sense? the game is played in the same time zone, why can't it be live? I really am afraid of the answer to this, but what programming does NBC think is more important than showing the US game live.
At least on the east coast, we can watch it live.

Actually I was one of the few, who did not watch the Ice Dancing...hehehehe
But from what I read about your goalie Brodeur.....He might want to think about getting in to Ice Dancing....hehehehehehhee
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
We will start by taking control of North Dakota. No one will notice us until it is too late.
Hell, if you ask nicely....
We might just give you North Dakota....
Hell....You can also have South Dakota and Iowa if you want........

Honestly, they will have LESS, becuse many folks are going to find out the final before hand and not watch.
