I was watching on CSN, then I switched to the Olympic coverage.

We went out for wings, so we were head swerving between the Olympics and the PHI/MON game. Both channels carrying the game were on different TV’s but we didn’t realize it because the live feed was over our heads. As we’re getting ready to leave, we see the set above us and had to figure out whey they weren’t the same. Weird feeling.

Help?
Does anyone remember what period (general time frame) during the Caps-Pens game when the following happened:
Crosby relentlessly drove towards the net and puck, positioning self advantageously (as is usual since he’s got so much strength on his skates and is hard to knock off from the puck.) Backstrom played the body and impressively held his ground against Crosby … not being pushed over and thus making Crosby having to work for every inch of the ice to get the puck or get closer to the net.
Working on a FanPost and have not had a chance to watch the replay of that game nor do I have it DVR’d.

I love that Jack Johnson is walking in the Opening Ceremony. He had a game last night and a game tomorrow night. Good interview with him from Dan Patrick.
I’d imagine so. Everyone else is playing tonight/tomorrow. He’s probably the closest to Vancouver since he’s in LA.
yes, and he’s paying for the charter flight there and back out of pocket. I believe he’s going because Brian Burke was supposed to walk, but with his son’s death, he understandably decided not to. Johnson volunteered to go in his place.

NBC’s interview of the Shaun White, aka the Flying Tomatoe, was pretty hilarious towards the end.
"Where can you go from there? Where? ... Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?"
I saw most of it and then left the break room to come back to my booth. They were talking about his teammates being his biggest competition when I left. Dang.
White talked about definitely bringing the McTwist 1260 (aka “Whitesnake”) and said he was going to throw it down. The dude (forgot his name) interviewing him tried to play hip and was like “yeah … throw it down Shaun”
"Where can you go from there? Where? ... Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?"

Yeah. Hilarious. I also recollect when they asked if he’d go talk to some other hot Olympic athlete and being the young, awkward teenager he was then … he just blushed, mumbled and giggled. Priceless …

Sarah McLachlan looks like Wilma Flintstone with that necklace…and this song sounds like it’s from a Disney movie.
RB, do you mind weighing in on this? This is the reaction from a Canadian at another place I post:
They did a whole “the first nations/aboriginal peoples of Canada welcomes you” thing. It’s funny that Canada only pretends to care about its aboriginal peoples when the eyes of the world are on us.

Sure Birdie
Canada has long had a shaky relationship with its Aboriginal Peoples. From the early 1900s to around the 1960s, many Natives were placed in residential schools run by the Catholic church. Not surprisingly, many abuses took place as well as coercion to make the Natives give up their traditions. This was also seen in other nations such as Australia. Both Australia and Canada’s governments have issued formal apologies to the Natives of their nations in recent years as well as financial compensation.
It’s an ugly issue to be sure and I totally can see why wounds still linger from that time.

I have a C on my heart.
I posted my thoughts elsewhere, including how I didn’t care one bit for the prairie section and what the heck was KD Lang doing there? I was promptly told off my a whole bunch of people that I have no taste whatsoever, no appreciation for the outstanding artistic interpretation of the prairie, and I clearly don’t understand how “KD is so representative of so many things Canadian.”
Funny, the lovely Canadians here must be “uncultured Americans too numbed by the stupidity of football to fully appreciate high level artistic expression and the sort of cultural icon someone like KD Lang is to Canadians.”!

I’m with you (and so bummed I wasn’t in this thread last night while I watched). I liked the concept very much, but the prairie section was too slow and too long. And the only performer whose performance I thought added anything was Sarah McLachlan. Maybe because her section with the dancers in the forest was really gorgeous.
I spent most of the time cursing Matt Lauer, cursing the TV director, and cursing NBC. Uzbekistan didn’t “just slip in,” you fools!

Somehow, our very own Puck Padre got the assignment to cover the ceremonies for YahooSports. And, of course, he didn’t miss a chance to direct his Olympic-reading audience to the wonder that is flying polar bears and college hockey.
When the giant space bear ascended from the floor, the audience exploded, waving around their flashlights as it opened its arms and floated above the ground. Seriously, giant space bears are no longer just for college hockey; they belong to all of us.
