Is anyone else's feed crapping out on them sometimes? I've been getting periods of scrambled picture for no reason, and only on the channel the game is on.
I'm surprised this game is on MSLSD and not NBC...skiing is great but FFS it really shows you how little faith there is in hockey when your marquee game of the Olympics so far isn't on the NHL's flagship channel.
Great first period of play so far however. This game is literally a 'New Jersey Devils and friends' broadcast though.
For example...
Emrick: "Parise....back pass to Langenbrunner...over to Ralfalski with the one timer HE SCORRRREEEESSSS!!! Brodeur got fooled on the deflection!"
(even the uniforms look like a Rangers vs. Devils game...I'd say the only thing missing is Chico Resch blowing a load after every time Marty makes a save) |

Holy what a second period- it's very important that USA has that one goal lead going into the third.
Also- that was the first time I've ever seen back to back to back breakaways. Unreal.
Drury now has two goals now in the Olympics and this is the second good game in a row he's played. Hopefully somehow these Olympics can motivate his slobbering ass so when he comes back to finish up the rest of the NHL season with the Rangers he ends up with more than 20 points overall. |

here is something to think about...is the USA keeps playing like this, we will lose (despite the score).
If Canada keeps playing like this, they will never win the gold against whomever they meet up with....(also, despite the score).
despite all this (yes, I said "despite" three times), this is SUCH a fun game!!! :crazy: :eyes: |

Mine is broadcasting only on MSNBC and im not getting drop outs so far.
On MSG i usually get dropouts for Rangers games which annoys me.
Anyway as far as the game goes:
That last Drury goal in the 2nd period was nice!
Both Brodeur and Miller and solid.
That 3 man team Canada collision was interesting too, hope they are all ok.
Back to the 3rd now...hoping for USA (im a big Callahan and Drury Fan) but either way this is an awesome game. |

yeah! That empty netter by Kesler was awesome and Miller was a ing baller down the stretch.
The reason why USA won this game, and one of the reasons why I thought they would do well in the Olympics, is that they are one of the few teams that are stocked to the brim with lunchpail-type hockey players...guys who play passionate, tough, GUTS hockey, like Langenbrunner, Kane, Kesler, Backes, Callahan, and Drury (the past two games).
A guy like Langenbrunner may not have the natural scoring ability of a player like Crosby, but he owns him in one of the hardest to play (and grimiest) areas of the game- the crease.
It's great to have a star-filled roster like Canada, but you're not going to go very far unless you have guys that are willing to muck it up like on team USA. The hustle team USA showed in the last few minutes was awesome:
- Callahan blocking a huge shot
- Jack Johnson bitching Marleau in front of the net after a stoppage
- Kesler with a money goal...just ridiculous
Not gonna get that with a bunch of drifters on Canada who float around waiting for the puck... |
