anybody keeping up with the olympics?

Blake · 02-21-2010, 09:08 PM

everyone, no matter what country, should be watching this game. it's as good as hockey gets. plus, commercial free during play ftw!

UdubBadger · 02-21-2010, 09:10 PM

yeah thats a big plus... except HD broadcast on the network NBC channel or at least USA would've been nice

My god Brodeur is scaring the shit out of me, guy needs to calm down with the stick handling.

UdubBadger · 02-21-2010, 09:19 PM

no I have cable... I highly doubt msnbcHD even exists. They did such a great game of hyping up this game, and its been everything they said it would be, but then why stick it in the corner and put it on msnbc and not in HD? Stupid if you ask me. This should be on NBC and the stupid figure skating or whatever should be on CNBC or msnbc.

UdubBadger · 02-21-2010, 09:23 PM

ugh these wasted power plays are giving me an ulcer

Blake · 02-21-2010, 09:25 PM

msnbc hd exists. a lot of carriers added it right before the olympics, but DTV didn't. i know time warner and fios added it recently. it's stupid that this game isn't on national NBC

UdubBadger · 02-21-2010, 09:28 PM

WHAT???

UGH that fucking sucks for me.

DAMN YOU CHARTER CABLE!

Blake · 02-21-2010, 09:34 PM

U S A! U S A!

UdubBadger · 02-21-2010, 09:35 PM

Hell yeah! I though Rafalski had another one... dude is on fire but I guess it was deflected.

Blake · 02-21-2010, 09:47 PM

ryan miller is on fire. he's playing lights out

Blake · 02-21-2010, 09:54 PM

fuck yes!!!!! i'm pretty sure my neighbors heard my screaming

UdubBadger · 02-21-2010, 10:00 PM

I'm pretty sure our neighbors to the north (aka America's hat) could hear the entire country screaming!

That... was... awesome.

The last 2 min were so intense, Canada had like 10-12 shots in that 2 minute stretch alone.

nightfx · 02-21-2010, 10:01 PM

Ugh, well played team USA. (Miller is a beast)

Now Canada has to play Germany and then Russia in the quarterfinals. :|

after sid scored that PP goal, i was like OH FUCK! but we all knew they were going to pull martin brodeur and a goal was almost necessary. those last 2 minutes are some of the most intense 2 minutes i've ever seen in any sport.

regardless of the outcome, that is the greatest hockey game i've ever seen. non-stop action, refs were quiet for the most part, no controversy, just a hard fought battle.

+1 on that... I just told my GF the same thing - probably one of the best games of anything I've ever seen.

We saw a GREAT game here last night, #3 UW v #4 Saint Cloud State in Men's NCAA (of course we won too

). Great weekend of hockey and the win vs. Canada is just icing on the cake.

Blake · 02-21-2010, 10:24 PM

how the hell is ice dancing an olympic sport? its like synchronized skating. so boring.

UdubBadger · 02-21-2010, 11:03 PM

BMdblU · 02-22-2010, 01:02 AM

we failed.. very disheartening for a lot of people up here

gotta give credit where it's due, the americans played well and simply wanted it more.

UdubBadger · 02-22-2010, 01:10 AM

it was anyone's game really. I mean they all play in the NHL, it was like an all star game and could have gone either way.

I'd credit Miller with just having a hell of a game when he needed to, not to take anything away from Canada cuz it was damn close the entire game.

I will say, watching it was a hoot 'n a holler though, eh?
