ALL the games are live—unless you happen to live in the time zone where the game is taking place and the game is on NBC.

the NBC screw up on the 18th mis-lead me and caused me to think there might be some tape-delayed games. My error.

Which is beyond terrible. For me. In California.

Same here in AZ. Hoping the online feeds are at least live. The sooner Dick Ebersol & NBC go out of the OLY coverage game the better.

Norway plays twice on the 18th? Is one of them on delay or something?

Now let's say you and I go toe to toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor.

Apparently it’s NBC misprint, should be Canada vs. Switzerland

I looked at that and looked at it some more on NBC Olympics, and went "WTF? Must be a tape delay."

Ok, so I’ve fixed the screw up on the 18th, and also noticed I had the games on the 21st listed under the 20th, and no listing for the 21st. Schedule should be good to go now.

Are we doing a meetup for the 21st?

by beta on Jan 16, 2010 7:32 PM EST reply actions

NBC conspiracy exposed!

Descriptions of events from NBC Olympics schedule:

Wed Feb 24 3pm

With Ryan Miller in net, team USA continues its quest for Hockey gol
d live (ET/CT) as the Olympic quarterfinal round takes center ice.

Fri Feb 26 3pm

Ryan Miller and U.S. men’s Hockey team head into the semifinal round
(live ET/CT) with a medal in sight.

Any ideas how they know the results 6 weeks ahead?…

by fnralch on Jan 16, 2010 10:32 PM EST reply actions

Probably the result of someone who didn’t really understand the schedule logging it in. The times for the US (and Canada) games in the knockout round are indeed set in advance—ASSUMING the team is actually playing in that round. Also not addressed is what happens if the USA and Canada play eachother. One would assume that they would go in the time slot pre-determined for the Canadian team due to, you know, actual human beings who planned to attend the Canada game and such, but with the money that NBC throws at the IOC, who knows for sure?

Wow, for some reason I didn’t expect CNBC and MSNBC to get into the act. What happened to UHD?

by red army line on Jan 17, 2010 4:54 PM EST reply actions

It’s pretty typical for NBC to spread Olympic coverage around all (well, most) of their properties. I think UHD is still too obscure for anything from the Winter Olympics (where, truth be told, there isn’t really THAT much happening at a given time that four networks aren’t enough to cover everything) though.

i might be doing a day trip to vancouver during the games.
the first week of the olympics coincides perfectly with reading break at my university on vancouver island. (victoria is only a 1.5-hour ferry-ride away from vancouver) unfortunately, i’m scheduled to have my wisdom teeth removed that tuesday (the 16th) in my hometown (3 hours up the island). however, if i heal up quickly enough, i’ll go back down to victoria the friday (the 19th) and make a trip to downtown vancouver on the saturday (the 20th). i don’t have tickets for events, but they’ll have all the festivities in the downtown area that i’ll check out. who knows, maybe i’ll bump into ovechkin……

awesome!

I talked my boss into letting us drag a TV into the office and hooking up the cable so we can watch. I may have to rough a few people up to get hockey on, but…..
