2010 Winter Olympics Thread

[HBox]

Bode Miller finally won a gold today, winning the super combined. That's a gold, silver and bronze for him. Depending on now Lindsey Vonn does the rest of the way he might be the most decorated American skier at the end of this olympics.

[Freakshow]

Julia Mancuso has two silvers and is defending gold medalist in giant slalom. If she repeats a gold and two silvers would top Bodie...

Mancuso would need a gold. Until now she's been behind Vonn in every race Vonn has finished.

[TheGameHHH]

is this game really not in HD?

[KnoxHarrington]

US vs Canada hockey game starting on MSNBC right now.

Or if you like to suck cock, there's ice dancing and skiing on NBC.

[KnoxHarrington]

is this game really not in HD?

Yeah, I don't think MSNBC has a HD feed at all. Even if they did, it's not on my cable system.

On edit: actually, I did check. There is a MSNBC HD channel out there. But I was right: it's not on my cable system.

[disneyspy]

not in bum fucked northern michigan it isnt

[KnoxHarrington]

he said it wasnt on his cable system, thought maybe it was on satellite cause i have directv and i just wasnt looking hard enough

I'm having trouble finding a list. Doesn't look like it's on either satellite system in HD, and about the only confirmed places I can find that have it are some Time Warner systems.

[HBox]

Maybe if some of you knucklehead conservatives would enrich your minds and watch liberal MSNBC once in a while they'd have the ratings to justify an HD feed.

Anyway, Cablevision here has MSNBC HD.

I don't get why a news channel needs to be in HD anyway. So we can see Rachel Maddow's mannish haircut or Glenn Beck's insane tears with greater clarity?

In this case its so that we can watch Olympic hockey and curling in crystal clear HD every 4 years. In Fox News' case it's so they can show off their news whores.

WAIT.............YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KnoxHarrington]

Damn, the final score of this game is going to be 21-20 at this point.

[hammersavage]

Matter of time is right. Miller was just peppered the last few minutes.


Goal!!!!

[HBox]

Parise, Langenbrunner and Rafalski must know something. Broduer trying to play the puck has been hurting Canada more than helping so far.

[hammersavage]

No commercials during periods?

[disneyspy]

No commercials during periods?

thats the nice thing about the game not being on NBC

[HBox]

No commercials during periods?

In the Olympics they don't take longer breaks for commercials. I don;t think NBC wants to mess with trying to sneak in commercials during this game. they've tried to do it before and have missed portions of play and in on instance a goal. They'd get crucified if they missed portions of this game for commercials.

[hammersavage]

Its amazing how much better the game flows. Game just translates so much better.

American coverage of these games is the joke of the world. It's pathetic what they are giving people.

[Tenbatsuzen]

I feel sooooo weird rooting against Marty

Marty is so fat, they made him get on the weigh station when he crossed the border into Vancouver.

[KnoxHarrington]

You know, watching this game tonight, and some of the Premiere League soccer games I've been watching lately, have led me to realize how much TV timeouts fuck up most sporting events.

[KnoxHarrington]

I liked that shot of Bettman pestering Jacques Rogge. They wouldn't even let him sit down.

"That's nice, Gary. Can you tell the server to get me another Stella Artois?"

[hammersavage]

Let's go Rangers!

[KnoxHarrington]

I would have been pissed if the US hadn't scored there. Brodeur was way out of position, and the puck was right there.

This has been a hell of a game.

[HBox]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was a disaster waiting to happen after Brodeur was knocked down. Now hopefully USA can up the offensive and not get back into the way the game was the last time they had the lead.

[HBox]

WOW. That was the best 20 seconds of hockey I've ever seen.

[KnoxHarrington]

I'm wondering: do they have OT in these preliminary round games, or would the game just end in a tie at the end of the 3rd period? I'm not sure.

[K.C.]

This is making up for the bad taste USA curling left from earlier in the day.

[KnoxHarrington]

This is making up for the bad taste USA curling left from earlier in the day.

Yeah, the US women totally shit the bed. The men were only slightly better.

[HBox]

I'm wondering: do they have OT in these preliminary round games, or would the game just end in a tie at the end of the 3rd period? I'm not sure.

No ties. A five minute OT 4 on 4, then shootout. 3 points for a regulation time win, 2 for an OT win, 1 for an OT loss.

I don't know what the fuck Niedermayer was doing there. He's never been that kind of player. That was a borderline penalty for how late, useless and stupid that was.

[hammersavage]

Broduer had been out of position for all three goals. The first two when he tried to stick handle the puck. When he's been in position, he's been awesome

[KnoxHarrington]

No ties. A five minute OT 4 on 4, then shootout. 3 points for a regulation time win, 2 for an OT win, 1 for an OT loss.

I don't know what the fuck Niedermayer was doing there. He's never been that kind of player. That was a borderline penalty for how late, useless and stupid that was.

Oh OK, so same as a NHL regular season game. They must have adopted the international rule.

Woulda been nice to use that power play to take a 2 goal lead, but, hey. Just hold on, boys.

[KnoxHarrington]

And stupid Crosby put the US right back on the power play.

[HBox]

That was a great by Patrick Kane in particular. Essentially add another minute to that penalty.

[KnoxHarrington]

Another US power play. You can't accuse these refs of being intimidated by the home crowd.

18 shots for Canada in the 1st. 14 since. Great adjustment

I was so proud to see how USA turned it around after Canada dominated play so much in the first period and the first part of the second.

We're gonna go as far as Ryan Miller takes us, and I like those odds.

I won't be crying about it.

[K.C.]

The NHL should immediately change all of its rules to the Olympic rules.

Still wouldn't change it...these are all-star teams. The NHL is watered down. They need to eliminate 10 teams or so and then you'd get hockey more akin to this.

Not looking good in the ninth.

We still won in hockey.

All their cute girls just got spanked by the us 9-1.

Does a 'sport' get its reputation or legitimacy diminished if the competitors at the olympic level are pregnant (see image #1) or listen to an ipod while competing (see image #2)?

Snowboarding is just like that. I saw some guy checking his cell phone while listening to his iPod at the top of the hill right before he started his halfpipe run. That's just what they do.

And curling isn't a sport to begin with.

[Dan 'Hampton]

I've taken a piss while snowboarding down a hill. Fly open of course.

[smiler grogan]

I'd classify Curling more of a game than a sport, distance/endurance runners and tri atheletes will use ipods if allowed. They are usually not allowed though.

[HBox]

Cheryl Bernard seems so calm in every game I've seen her in but on Google Image search it seems like almost every picture is her screaming like a lunatic.

Even the libs are angry

I am loving it. An entire nation hating the coverage they are given.

But you know what? I doubt anything will change, American audiences are too stupid to want anything more than the shit on TV.

That is evidenced by this thread and your guys love of replays.

This mens aerials is pretty good. Gotta U.S. skier in 1st place so far.

[KnoxHarrington]

Gawker has a story up about how ice dancing went batshit crazy tonight, with:

* A brother and sister pair from Great Britain did their routine to a song by emo shitmeisters Linkin Park.

* A pair from France skated to the main theme from that feel-good, Olympic spirit movie "Requiem for a Dream". No word if ass-to-ass was involved.

* And there's no video for this in this article, but apparently an Israeli pair did a bump-n-grind routine that got pretty hot. Decide for yourself which is more disturbing: that they were brother & sister, or that the music they dry-humped to was from "Schindler's List".

Video, and more just plain weirdness, here:

The company that made the gas for the showers that killed the Jews also made money, but that is not something I could support in a capitalist nation.

[El Mudo]

Wow (http://puckthemedia.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/breaking-msnbc-draws-massive-viewership-for-usa-canada-classic/)

8.2 MILLION AVERAGE VIEWERSHIP FOR WATCH USA-CANADA HOCKEY GAME ON MSNBC: An average audience of 8.22 million watched the USA hockey team defeat Canada, 5-3, nearly matching the best average viewership for a program on MSNBC. (Election Night Coverage, 8.23 million on Nov. 4, 2008).

· The hockey game on MSNBC received a national household rating of 4.3, the third highest-rated program in MSNBC’s history behind the Democratic Presidential debate (2/26/08, 4.9 rating) and the analysis following the debate (4.4 rating).

Also got 10.8 million people in Canada, making it the most-watched sporting event in the history of Canada.

Liberals like you are ruining this country.

[KingModem]

Wow, I checked in for the first time a few days, and Jezo is still ranting about the government.

Could you maybe start a new thread where you can bitch to your heart's content about that topic?

:wallbash:

[brettmojo]

If they combined ice skating and pro wrestling... I would watch that.

Canadians vs Russki's tomorrow. In order for Canada to win it all they need to win 4 6ames in 6 days. A loss tonight would have had them tarred and feathered

What a great day of hockey today...

Canada/Rus at 730

Finland/Czech Republic at 10

Sweden/Slovakia at Midnight

[Snoogans]

the US hockey game, for anyone not near a TV at 3, is live online at nbcolympics.com

How great would a US/Canada rematch for the gold medal be?

NBC might even put that bad boy on CNBC. That's how big it would be.

OMG!!!

[sailor]

If you get all the channels, what does it matter?

[Fallon]

If you get all the channels, what does it matter?

I do get all the channels, so I can watch the games. I have no problem with NBC, CNBC or USA. But stupid DirecTV doesn't carry MSNBC in HD.

I hate standard definition anymore!

[sailor]

Maybe when I get a HD I'll care.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Upgrade. It's fantastic. You're below a ham 'n egger if your not watching in HD.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Would that be a straphanger?

[Snoogans]

Would that be a straphanger?

i think its called a hammersavage

[Dan 'Hampton]

Stupid roenick, we get it. It's slapshot. No need to slip in poorly constructed references.

[Suspect Chin]

Just tuned in. Wow, I am shocked this game is tied at 0.

[Suspect Chin]

YEAH!!!!! That goal was in slow motion.

[Suspect Chin]

Damn.

[Ritalin]

No goal. The right call.

[sailor]

fuck.

[sailor]

Upgrade. It's fantastic. You're below a ham 'n egger if your not watching in HD.

eh, got higher priorities.

[Mitch&Murray]

That overhead view showing the puck right at the goal line and the clock hitting 0.0 was amazing

[weekapaugjz]

Hiller is playing awesome. Another half second and US would be up.

[weekapaugjz]

Just tuned in. Wow, I am shocked this game is tied at 0.

The swiss play a tough game. And hiller playing like he is doesn't hurt their cause.

[weekapaugjz]

Fuck yeah!

[hammersavage]

thank god

[weekapaugjz]

Double fuck yeah!

[weekapaugjz]

I mean bullshit.

[disneyspy]

[weekapaugjz]

Usa! Usa! Usa!

[meanmrbill]

Hahaha! I'm watching on Polish TV and these announcers couldn't be more disappointed that the the U.S. won this game. Fucking beautiful.

[Suspect Chin]

Do they announce an MVP of the tournament?

[weekapaugjz]

Do they announce an MVP of the tournament?

I don't think so.

[Dan 'Hampton]

The Swiss had a good tourney. Fought into ot with canadians. Played us hard. They weren't expected to do much.

Exactly. I enjoyed watching the swiss play this year.

USA FTW! Scoring on that goalie as if he was made of that kind of cheese with all the holes.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Yeah!?

F those Russians. Go Canada.

[weekapaugjz]

little would make me happier than seeing canada miss the medal round.

They're just USA north. I'm all for moving to Vancouver. Those stupid British Columbia adds have swayed me.

Wait for it...Russians are gonna KGB this up in a minute.

They'll get it tied...may not win, but it'll be close.

[Dan 'Hampton]

Most sports fans are pricks. There are about 120 fanbases I think can suck a dick. Not thier fault we took a great game and gave it to a bunch of sweaty hayseeds.

[sailor]

can you see canada from your house?

[weekapaugjz]

can you see canada from your house?

not quite.

[weekapaugjz]

this is just getting insane.

[Hottub]

canadian hockey fans i have dealt with are pricks. i hope they all suck a dick.

The Maple Leaf retards I've encountered at the old Aud were assholes. The Habs fans were a bit more human.

But when you are at ML Garden or the Forum, the savages somehow show a bit of class.

[HBox]

This whole "Only pass the puck to the person the farthest distance away from you" strategy hasn't been working for Russia.

[TheGameHHH]

7-2, is there a mercy rule? Fuckin Russians

I know this is gonna sound cowardly, but i want NO part of Canada in the gold medal game.

[weekapaugjz]

I know this is gonna sound cowardly, but i want NO part of Canada in the gold medal game.

i was thinking the exact same thing as soon as the US beat them.

[Hottub]

Didn't Canada invent this game?

Fucking embarrassing.

[Hottub]

I'll guess Canada taps out at 10 goals.
