If we lose tonight.....we invade the country to the South.

We will start by taking control of North Dakota. No one will notice us until it is too late.

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.

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:

Quite a difference.....

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!

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

They just want to see us get killed by the Ruskies more than their win over poor Switzerland, that's all.

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.

I have the same problem with Formula 1 coverage, although that is just a time zone problem..

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.

jimed14

The thing is, are there really going to be more viewers of the US game at 3 pm on tape then there are at noon live?

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

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you, NBC.
