I haven't seen a single hockey game yet, mind you I only have NBC, none of the side channels.

As for the US athletes, in snowboard cross and half-pipe they only showed US qualifiers, that's the first one off the top of my head. Which I kinda understand seeing as how this is the US. It's the lack of live events. I mean there are things going on right now, men's hockey for one. But instead they are showing some downhill races that happened this afternoon. If sports aren't live it kinda defeats the whole purpose of watching them haha.

Ah, yeah they do have their coverage spread out over all of their channels. I'm watching the Canada/Switzerland game on CNBC now. I watched the women's snowboard half-pipe qualifiers this afternoon, and it seemed like they were showing everyone. Not sure what channel that was on.

I agree on non-live sports - when I know an game has already happened it's difficult for me to not just check the score. I won't watch a hockey game that's not live. I care less about Olympics sports so I'm more willing to not check the score and watch the tape-delayed coverage. Obviously they want to get the most desirable sports into prime-time which usually isn't when the events happen. You'd think with it being on the west coast of Canada it wouldn't be so difficult to get live stuff in prime time; prime time on the east coast is 5:00 in Vancouver.

Swiss aren't a bad team. Good to see an actual match for once.

With all respect to the Swiss, they should never beat Canada at hockey especially on a NHL sized rink. If Canada looses to them 2 Olympics in a row you can expect some serious heads to roll and the team in Russia to be a very different one, with or without NHL players.
 
Well if Canada forces it into shoot out they will win. Im having flashbacks from 2006..

Is there even shootouts under the olympics?
 
Crosby & Nash? What happened to Stills (and sometimes Young)?

Edit: dammit, forgot I'm a few minutes behind
