NBC screwing over hockey fans

the biathlon was cool cmon, i want hockey but dont take anger out on a nice sport

THey coulda been airing an exclusive interview with some alien in Area 51 and I'd still be pissed they delayed the game an hour. Props to biathlon dudes, but I want my hockey and I'm not alone!

The biathlon is nothing more than a Nordic drive-by shooting. It's how Norwegian gangs claim their territory. They ski past your house and clip you off the porch. They're hardcore.

Which game? USA v Canada starts at 7:45 EST and will air at some point on MSNBC (your guess is as good as mine if they air it on time or delayed).

Here's another log for the fire; from cmn news network dot calm :

NBC Olympic Hockey Schedule Angers American vs Canada Enthusiasts. NBC has been widely criticized for their Olympic coverage. Today, the icing on the cake is that NBC is tape-delaying the USA vs Canada match, while showing the Russia vs. Czech Republic match live.

Yes, you read that right. The network with American rights to broadcast the Olympics isn’t showing the American hockey game live. Instead, they are going to wait until the game is done and everyone knows the final score because you can check it online – and THEN show us the game.

Wow, that's even worse than not showing the game.

Showing a taping of it, even though the game is played in North America is embarassing.

Are you serious?? It was bad enough that the Czech/Russia game was an hour delayed (at least for my timezone), but if they do the same s*** for that big of a game... f*** you NBC

[ManLuv4Clears 7]

Wow, I hate to use the word fail, but that pretty much describes NBC right now. Arguably the biggest sport in the games being tape delayed and shown on some junk sister station in standard definition.

That is absolute ******* horses***, if you'll excuse my language.

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

It's airing on MSNBC live, if you guys are worried.

[CenterIce 83]

Yes, it is live. The game starts about 7:40. That link listed in the thread looks a little suspect. I am going no where near it.

The game will be airing live on MSNBC.

Here is the reason game was not on NBC, women watch the Olympics more and they prefer ice dancing

You mean women don't want to see Crosby every 5 seconds?

And this is a catch 22. Of course men aren't going to watch the Olympics if they show s*** like ice dancing instead of hockey.

Hey look, Bob Costas is talking to that Apollo Ohno guy again.

It's been a whole night since they spoke in Costas's fireplace room.

Congratulations on last nights win; Miller made some unbelievable saves!

CTV/Rogers won the rights to broadcast these Games. They made sure that last night's game was broacast on the full CTV network, meaning that even if you have just a regular antenna, you were able to see the game. What I wasn't aware of is unlike the CBC, CTV isn't available to viewers in the Detroit area, according to this article in the Toronto Star . We are very fortunate to have this kind of superior hockey coverage on a regular basis.

Has to be whoever your cable or satellite provider is. I never have any of those problems watching Olympic hockey..

I have DirecTV and haven't missed a single minute of any game.

[Guest Shoreline]

I have DirecTV and haven't missed a single minute of any game.

Same, and even better than that, the local NBC feed isn't in HD. Thankfully some games were on MSNBC and CNBC which are in HD.

Not that I like NBC for it's hockey coverage -- it sucks ass and I would get TSN over it in a second, but it isn't as bad as some are embellishing it to be. We already know where hockey stands in the states so we shouldn't be surprised.

Same story for me and Comcast.

[Wings_Fan_In_Exile 3]

Same story for me and Comcast.

I have Comcast and the USA v Canada game was the first on that started on time for me...no HD either.. Using the NBC stream, I believe it was the USA Switzerland game that they actually skipped the entire 2nd period... so maybe some of the issues are regional?

[esteef 2,679]

Same old s*** as the NHL far as I'm concerned. As a hockey fan, I'm not getting the access to the sport I desire simply because of deals and arrangements made by local "suits" who could f***in' care less about hockey. But thank God all the Ice Dancing and Curling fans are taken care of!

Eh, Really though are any of you suprised at NBC sucking?

I mean, if you followed the American LeMans Series, where they not only tape delay showing the races, sometimes up to a week later, but time compress them even when they show them live...you kinda know what to suspect...
