Everything has been edited in.

[Barrie 900]

With most of the players on team Canada making me wanna :puke: I've decided to back the USA, so I'll be watching.

I'm guessing a 5-1 win for USA.

[Finnish Wing 110]

Juha Kaunismäki is actually playing!

[SweWings 45]

Juha Kaunismäki is actually playing!

Very Norwegian name

[Finnish Wing 110]

Very Norwegian name

Yeah, he was born in Finland to Finnish parents, but went play to Norway.

[redwingfan19 293]

nice, tolly is playing in this game. Should be good

US takes this one 7-2

[seeinred 1,488]

How about the US curling team loses a game in regulation once instead of going to the 11th end? This is getting annoying for reals.

[Guest ToMaToToWnWinGsFaN_24]

canada mustered 8 goals against norway

how many can usa score?

i say 7

[Guest Lidstromboli]

5-0 US

goin for that goal differential

[titanium2 867]

[wmubronco420 25]

[Guest Lidstromboli]

Absolutely awful planning NBC's part to not think of how these curling games can and will effect the Hockey games.. geesh!

[Guest Lidstromboli]

they get way better ratings for curling than hockey, apparently

Tell me about it. I've missed the first period of almost all these games.

Roenick Rules

[Guest Shoreline]

Holy s*** that was fast.

[Hockeytown Red Wings 245]

That's it. I'm writing someone. This is bulls***. Every other event can be seen in it's entirety except the men's hockey.

1-0 USA!

[CupChamps979802 35]

Why does NBC keep giving hockey the shaft?!

Not only have all the games been on cnbc or USA so far, but they show anything possible instead of allowing us to see the beginning of a hockey game!

[Hockeymom1960 5,107]

Sweeeeeeet wrister by Kessel!!!

[Guest Lidstromboli]

thanks for randomly showing a couple minutes of women's biatholon nbc

i guess?

[dropkickshanahans 463]

Seriously guys, put the puck in the ******* net. This game should be 5-0 already.

[Hank Dats 'N Homer 81]

im in class right now, how bad is the US looking if its only 1-0 against Norway?

Canada was 0-0 half way into the game.
