I don't understand how a penalty or something wasn't called on that...

"uncharacteristic..." Epic announcer Fail

seriously. the period was clearly over...to the extent that the US guy didn't even fire a shot on goal, and he gets wrapped up by niedermeyer, skated over to the boards, and slammed into them.

maybe when the game comes back there will have been a penalty called on it

I've only been able to watch parts until now, but Brodeur should be sat for Luongo next game. I'm also a little ok with the US winning, Canada needs a wake up call, better to get it now than once it is lose-and-go-home time. US is playing with more desire.

GOAL!!!!

man does Rafalski have the touch against his old goalie tonight or what??? hat trick for a defender!!!

GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's gonna hurt...i still think it'll take 5 goals to win this game, but that's gotta hurt

Where the hell is this everywhere, such as NBC, and can't find it. I'm pissed.

Canada needs to score on this powerplay if they want a realistic shot at this one.

MSNBC

Forget it, I found it. MS-fucking-NBC?????? What idiotic bullshit.

Yeah, you wouldn't want to watch USA/Canada in HD or anything you?

Big Penalty kill.

I keep seeing everyone say it isn't in HD. I have it on MSNBCHD right now, is MSNBCHD a rare channel elsewhere?

HUGE penalty kill

I don't get it with Directv.

No MSNBCHD on DirecTV. After watching the earlier game in HD, it is very annoying to watch this in SD, so much harder to follow the puck at times.

Ah ok, got it on my Cox cable, its in my 780s though, so I assume its a recent add. (As I know all my other 780s are.)

How did he save that?

WTF!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

how'd Miller make those saves!?!??!!?!!?!

I don't get it and RCN is usually really good with HD channels. We get Fox Business and all the other news channels, but no MSNBC.

Wow........what a sequence.

Dammit

I don't understand, and I don't even have an HDTV.

Wow. Going to be a tense last 3 minutes.

"boy this has been tremendously tremendous" --- ummm wtf does that even mean??

if they don't clear this something will go in

OPEN NETTER!!!!

What an awesome goal!

Holy shit!!!!!!

Probably the first time I said this... sweet empty net goal!!!

Do you believe in professionals playing to their potential???

YES!!!!

:) (apologies to Al Michaels)

Woohooo!!!!!

Eat it Canada!!!!

Now you can take all of your cocky ass flags from around here and go home!!!

(Yes, I'm classy)

That was an incredible move by Kesler.

Ryan Miller played his ass off in net tonight, it seemed like Canada had 30 shots on goal that last 3 minutes, great game!!

That was a great finish to the game, I missed the first 2 periods because of work- but the 3rd was good. Can't wait to watch the next game- I miss hockey, we just don't see it much at all down here in Louisiana.

That's like tremendous squared I think. Not quite on par with the 1980 Al Michaels call eh?

Best empty netter I've ever seen.

How did NBC pass on this one? One of the best hockey games I've ever seen.

Biggest upset since 1980?!? I dont follow hockey that much, but I would imagine there have been others since?

Yeah they are crazy. Its not like the USA doesnt have numerous all stars on their team and maybe the best goalie in the entire NHL.

Since when does John Madden do hockey?

I know...I'm not saying it's bad. Just is fun.

Because hockey isn't the same ratings draw as ice dancing. Can't air something that will leave those 25-39 y/o women looking for other things to do.

What a GREAT game!!!

havent read most of the posts today, but im glad it was on msnbc. they didnt have any commercials. try that on nbc.

So what exactly do the results of tonight's Finland-Sweden game have to be for the USA to get the first seed? Also, Canada is the 6th seed against No. 11 seed Germany. Russia is the 3rd seed? Who gets the 4th bye?

Also, are teams re-seeded after each round?

They don't have commercials during the Olympic hockey games I think.
