I am so happy I have a dvr, so I can record what I miss.
-
YAY, my time zone!

I have a few friends coming over to watch the Olympic ceremonies and eat pizza :-D

I am broiling a juicy steak and perhaps some potatos.

Bummer to have opened the show with a tape of the young luger's death run. Wasn't expecting them to show him actually crashing.
Matt Lauer was totally annoying and ruined the parade of athletes by making it all about medals and politics ("Only Ireland separates Israel and Iran!"). Can't we just celebrate them being there !? Ack. NBC doesn't disappoint, lol.
Ok, here's my favorite 5 minutes of Olympics, in my lifetime anyhow............from the days when our hockey teams were scrappy college kids, not NHL All-Stars!

I got so frustrated by him constantly talking over the official announcements :whatever: I also don't understand why they played it with such a time delay.
-
They've got a weather delay until Monday on downhill skiing.
-
Bring on the hockey!
-
Damn, I'm actually going to have to turn on PMSNBC to watch the US-Canada game on the 21st. :censored:

The U.S. men play Wed. against the Swiss.
-
After the pairs figure skating short program, best we can finish is 10 & 14 ? Final round tonight, maybe they'll skate well without the pressure. But dang, we have the best figure skating program in the world, this is disappointing :(
-
Man, they're not exactly putting their best foot forward so far, are they? What's next--Whistler blows up?
-
Watching the Westminster Dog Show, I can't take the Olympics, looks like NBC's USA channel can't either '/snork.
-
U.S. hammering the medal count!
-
Wow! That American figure skater, Johnny something, is the most embarrassing flamer I've ever seen on network television. Faggier than Jon Heder's character in "Blades of Glory".
Makes Richard Simmons look like a pro wrestler.

Johnny Weir? Yeah, he makes Clay Aiken look straight.

Moving on...USA vs. Canada Sunday.

That was done because the Russians had been using professional players for many years and were pretty much taking the gold every Olympics....All it did was level the ice if you will. :-)
-

Yeah, he's a poofter, but PETA threatened him for Weir's use of real animal fur in his costumes. He said that he'd switch, but then switched back. The fact that he switched back to real fur (Arctic fox, I think) gets him points in my book.

Bode Miller with the gold!
USA vs. Canada in about 1:10 min.

Boy! Canada is really choking! They have twice the talent of the U.S. They had a hard time with the Swiss the other day as well. Took a shootout to decide it! I have a feeling the Canadians think the gold is a foregone conclusion for them not good! They should not be having this hard of a time in the preliminaries!
-
Russia got beat down hard. Looks like the choking is over for the Canucks, for the moment anyways. Will be interested to see who they face in the next round, Slovakia or Sweden. Just had to bench Marty and put Captain Lou in the crease.
And yes, I'm a Canuck fan, both in Olympic hockey and in real life. I'm strange. :uhsure:
-
Did anyone see the accident the German women bobsledders had?
Amazing neither one was hurt. Brakeman ejected out at 80+ mph, and the pilot went updise down on her head!!!

Fluke...looks like Canada is going to coast into the gold medal game.

Shocked the hell out of me. Glad I stayed up to watch. But I'd rather face Halak than Lundqvist. Going to be some good games tomorrow. Canada and US will end up playing for gold, unless something goes terribly wrong for one of them. Not sure who to claim there. Between Finland and Slovakia, I'd give the bronze to the Finns. Barely though.
-
Watching women's hockey at the moment. Nothing else on...
I HATE watching this on PMSNBC. Every commercial break has Chrissy Matthews or Rachel Madcow or the like running their sucks in a self serving commercial. NBC blows.
-
30 minutes
-
Puck dropped. Finns win the face off. And we're on.
-
US draws first blood when Kiprusoff comes out way too far. Tried to play like Brodeur. :lmao:
1-0 US off Ryan Malone.
-
2-0 US. PP goal by Zach Parise.
-
3-0 US. Eric Johnson with the goal.
-
4-0 US. Kane with the goal.
Is Kipper finally going out?
-
5-0 US. Patrick Kane with #2 on Finland's backup Niklas Backstrom.
-
6-0 US. Paul Statsny with the goal. 2 goals in 15 seconds for the US.
This is a blowout.

Wow, this is a textbook 1st Period.

Holy crap! This is an ass-whooping. I guess there was no let-down. Bring on the Canadians!
-
Wow, this is a textbook 1st Period.
The Finns can't hold onto a puck to save their lives. They've folded faster than the Russians.
-
End of the 2nd. Still 6-0.

NBC. They decided to stop getting spanked for putting it on cable and switched to broadcast instead.

F*cking Finns...bastards take a cheap shot every chance they get.

Orpik wanted his pound of flesh, too. Nice save by Miller there.
-
Miller pulled. Tim Thomas taking his place.
Miller's been crazy awesome this series.

Bobby Ryan took a puck to the head. Dropped like a sack of potatoes but managed to get up quick and get to the bench.

Finns finally get on the board.

Finally. Game of the games. Got beer and pizza and ready to go. About 10 minutes.

I know. Wish Lou hadn't let in that goal on Parise. That way Sindey wouldn't be the golden boy. :censored:

Jeremy Roenick pointed out something that I'd like to know the answer to, as well--how did two US forwards get behind Niedermayer?
