Team USA faces off against the bottom seed of these Olympic games, #12 Team Norway today. Canada will be facing the Swiss at 7:30. Your guess is as good as anyone's as to what channels NBC will be showing these games on. The inconsistent predictably unpredictable coverage of Men's Ice Hockey has led to a few blasts from familiar faces in the world of hockey bloggers:
KuklasKorner: Frustration Sets in : NBC, get your act together when it comes to broadcasting Olympic hockey. Or this: Hockey fans give NBC the broom over scheduling decisions - Puck Daddy The start of CNBC's coverage of this highly anticipated hockey game was a complete mess, instigated by a U.S. vs. Japan women's curling match that went into overtime or extra innings or sudden death brooming or whatever it's called.
In theory, the Team USA vs Norway game will be on USA Network, TWC ch 25 (or HD ch 258) , 3:00 pm start
The US Women's team will face off against Finland, their toughest opponent yet, at 5:30pm on MSNBC, TWC ch 37 (HD ch 233).
Back to Men's hockey, the Canadians take on the Swiss on CNBC TWC ch 37 (HD ch 266), starting at 7:30 pm. (with revenge in mind - see the story about the 2006 Olympic games in Turin below)
If it doesn't work out, well then, here are the Rules and History of Curling
After the jump some stories on the US, Canadian and Finnish teams and some videos you don't want to miss.
ICE HOCKEY in Vancouver
NHL Olympic player tracker for Wednesday, Feb. 17 - NHL.com Cory found this great feature at NHL.com that provides daily updates on what every NHL player did at the Olympics, every game.
February 2010 Impact - A comprehensive look at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games A 28-page e-magazine with information, player features (including Joni Pitkanen and Dennis Seidenberg) , Olympic stats, and a little history.
Tweaks to playoff format add to confusion Every year, the IIHF tweaks the format of the men's Olympic hockey tournament and every year, it becomes more complicated - to the point where even the principal players aren't exactly sure of how the tie-breakers work.
USA
LATE ADD: Kukla's Korner posted this video (5 minutes after I published) of the LA Kings' 25-year old winger Dustin Brown in a fascinating and insightful webcam conversation with a hometown LA reporter. Brown talks at length about his Team USA Olympic experience from the mundane (two twin beds?) to on-ice hockey strategy and team leadership and dynamics, and his view of the Olympic spirit. Incredibly well-spoken for a kid who, Kukla observes, looks like a teen-age snowboarder.
Speaking of mundane details, I found at my house that we needed a players' roster with jersey numbers for the small screen. USA Hockey: 2010 US Men's Roster including jersey numbers (Print it out for while you're watching on TV till you get them down.)
Postcard from Vancouver from the Postbulletin.com: Rochester, MN Each USA player has been adopted by a wounded warrior from their home town, university or NHL city....A personal package was provided containing a letter of encouragement and various other items, even bullets taken from the soldier's bodies to be placed in the player's locker.
David Backes gives Team USA skill as well as snarl - NHL.com David Backes repaid his GM's faith in him by scoring the winning goal in Tuesday's 3-1 victory against Switzerland Tuesday.
USA an underdog in men's hockey? Here's how it can contend - USATODAY.com
Despite win Team USA must pass chemistry test - NHL.com With only a short practice and one game under its belt, Team USA must develop some cohesion among the forward lines to move on.
FINLAND
Finland va Belarus - NHL.com - Shawn Roarke Niklas Hagman scored two goals and Mikko Koivu tallied three assists, as Finland knocked off Belarus, 5-1, Wednesday.
Team Finland's next game will be vs Germany at Midnight, Friday night.
RUSSIA
Seems we weren't the only ones wondering about the sheep painted on Alex Ovechkin's skate blades: Fourth-Place Medal investigates mystery of Ovechkin's skates "The sheep is sort of a tribute to Ovechkin's last name. 'Ovechka' is translated as a 'sheep' into English."......... OK, but why does the sheep look so demonic? "I guess it's something like an angry or a determined sheep," said Chesnokov
CANADA
There are a few obvious "bleeps" in this hysterical rap-themed Team Canada spoof (which TylerA7707 put on as a fanshot yesterday). Still - must see (slightly NSFW).
"when your roster look weaker than Patrick Kane's chest" ? rhyming "Oduya" with "the puck gets thru ya".....good stuff.
Canada's hockey heroes hit Vancouver hot spot Looking at the lead photo, I was wondering if Roberto Luongo offered to help Eric Staal finish his Chicken Parm. (Just askin')
Canada looking to avenge loss to Swiss in Turin Dany Heatley recalls the sting of losing to supposedly inferior Switzerland at the Winter Olympics four years ago and now he wants revenge. The Swiss in 2006 had one NHL skater, defenceman Mark Streit, and NHL goalie Martin Gerber, who made 49 saves for the shutout.
Oh and here's the Hockey Canada - CANADA MEN'S ROSTER with jersey numbers, for your use and reference.

I heard that Team Norway doe snot use composite sticks……Surely You have all hear od Norwegian Wood……..ba dum dum, try the veal, and be good to your waitress, she’s good to you!
The curling competition has been better than some of the hockey games. I guess that will change after the first few games, then it gets serious.
Staal + Jussi = GOAL
Can anyone in Canada confirm this for me? I heard an anecdote somewhere that during the early afternoons in much of Canada they televise curling matches and the viewership is fairly high. Its sort of like their version of afternoon soap operas.
I assumed this was during Olympic years but supposedly its consistent! I gotta say I sort of enjoy watching curling when its on, but for now I’ll stick to once every four years.
Curling has all the athleticism of Bowling with none of the excitement.

yeah they should blow things up in curling. or atleast talk some smack. i want someone to hit a great shot (place a stone maybe) and then run down the ice and slide head first screaming the whole way down. I would then watch curling every day.

atleast it has a difenitive outcome. I don’t think any sport that is judged should be considered a sport. competition yes, sport no. that means you figure skating! I love watching snowboarding, but it too is judged. Boxing and MMA should be fight until someone gives up or gets knocked out. then it would be a sport. don’t even get me started on gymnastics

same here phil
once every four years is enough for me. From what i understand curling is there big thing (other than hockey of coarse). I had a friend that watched curling constantly. he was from montreal. I like the game, but I don’t see how it is entertaining enough to hold my attention every day.
HMo2 you made me actually laugh out loud (not just that crappy lol) with the rules of curling thing. classic. you are definatly comming into your own. great work.

Not sure about the viewership… but I had a conversation with my co-worker in Toronto this morning about curling. He said it’s “for those meadow lands people in the middle of Canada that aren’t very athletic” The folks on the east and west coasts ski and play hockey. hehe
Real Sports on HBO had a decent feature on curling, but even they kind of made fun of it. Though one of the reporters commented that the sweepers needed to have immense upper-body strength to do their part.
It’s gaining a lot of traction in the Northeastern U.S. (not sure about other parts north). I don’t have a problem with it … it’s as much a sport as Rifle events.

Agreed. The US women’s curling vs Japan was actually an intense match. Those lost my milimeters.
I gotta say I could care less about hockey games that are complete blowouts. Unless its a Canes game.
Well, then that leads me to ask: when do the Japanese curlers play again?

Curling is like HOCKEY......without goals, hockey sticks, and hockey players.
Curling...
Seriously…it’s absurd. The only reason to even watch for a moment is to laugh at how seriously these people take themselves….
Still not a crook!
I get it.
I would play it if i could. Im a sucker for table shuffelboard. plus curling is supposed to be a drinking sport. which i completly dig. Anything that can be done while drinking i have to try atleast once.
I guess thats why it so popular in canada. There really isn’t alot of difference between a redneck and a canadian i guess.lol
Hmm…interesting points…
I think Curling would be fun to play (with drinking), but watching it as an olympic sport is non-sense. I’ll support Curling in the Winter Olympics on two conditions: A) They drink during the matches and B) If Horseshoes is added to the summer olympics with the same drinking rules.
Still not a crook!
yes horseshoes for the summer olympics
and you must drink there too

TV Coverage
HM – Great links about NBC’s coverage. I’ve heard lots of griping online and on sports radio.
Someone told me they had the Canadian hockey game in its entirety the other day on another NBC channel; which pisses me off because I waited for the curling to end, and then they switched over to the hockey game with 2 min left in the 1st.
My thing: at least put a crawl on the bottom of the screen or verbally mention where you can go to watch the other stuff you know?
Finally, HOCKEY!
This pretty much sums up my thoughts on curling.
And I LOVE the harlequin-check pants the Norwegians are wearing. Definitely want a pair of those in black, silver, and red to wear with my jerseys.
Kessel scores less than three minutes in – 1-0 USA!

I’ve always had a hard time typing. I like to blame is on constantly switching between the PC and 2 laptops – all with differently sized keyboards.
What’s even more funny is when I try to use the wrong mouse with the wrong computer.
If the US finds its way to the podium, I kind of hope there’s a mix up and those two are told the wrong time. Or there aren’t enough medals.
I am a horrible person.

Well, if it’s any consolation, just about every team has some a-hole on it that either makes you cringe or want to take a long shower after you cheer for them. For me, it’s that pr*ck Chris Pronger for the Canadian team, and Ugly Jokinen for the Finns.

He actually did participate during the Open House. And yes, it’s covered heavily in Canada – a number of years ago I was visiting friends in Calgary. And the provincial tournament was the main story on the sports page of both the Herald and the Sun. (Flames were off that day.)
You’d be surprised the amount of a workout you get from sweeping.
And it is a very social sport – many curling clubs that have their own sheets of ice actually have their own bar. I think most of you would actually enjoy it :-p
:-p

Jefferson is my favorite americans (i dont know, maybe 1a and 1 b with Ben). I am not at all surprised and actually quite ashamed i didn’t know them already. Nice… Very Nice.
another of my personal favs : "Then I say, the earth belongs to each of these generations during its course, fully and in its own right. The second generation receives it clear of the debts and incumbrances of the first, the third of the second, and so on. for if the first could charge it with a debt, then the earth would belong to the dead and not to the living generation. then, no generation can contract debts greater than may be paid during the course of its own existence

I truely doubt it. Straight out of the story of the boiling frog, we have been conditioned to present state of affairs. Thomas Jefferson would be considered a radical now adays, even though the things we claim to love so dearly are founded on his ideals. Jefferson foresaw the transformation that has transpired over the last 100 or so years. He, along with others, tried to save us from ourselves, I guess just not hard enough.

I don’t think there are many who actually loathe him, I think it’s more about having high expectations for him.

A little late to the party, but, when it comes to his on-ice play, I’m not a Staal loather. I don’t think there are very many actual Staal loathers. I’m just not a Staal…what’s the right word? Believer maybe? Doubter perhaps? He’s hugely talented, probably moreso than 95% of the players he comes across. I just don’t see that natural talent manifest itself every game. I’d love to see more consistency from him.

hahaha – I just said “come on Staal, you’re supposed to be the Broduer killer” followed by “oh yeah – he’s on Canada’s team”. Wonder if when Staal first saw Broduer in Vancouver he rubbed it in that the Canes ran him from the net last week.

Trip: “But… I gotta tell ya…. Whenever we were only up by one… we still led the game… but it could have easily been by two….”
John Torts: “Brooksey… I’ll give ya a thousand-bucks to wack this guy in the f**king knee…”
Trip: “…I gotta tell ya…. I’d hate to have to put the pads back on….”
John Torts: “hey… look over there…. it’s that Staal kid without his shirt on….”

NHL.com
While the Olympic hockey tournament will be dominated by NHL players, they will be playing under some non-NHL rules.
The International Ice Hockey Federation rulebook differs from the rules that govern NHL play in several key areas — playing surface, penalty procedure, protective equipment, time keeping and shootout procedures.
Overtime and Shootout
The disparity in rules covering overtime and shootouts between the NHL and the Olympics could be the most profound of the 50-plus changes to the rulebook.
In the Olympics, overtime in the group stage will be five minutes of four-on-four play before the contest goes to the shootout, which is also different from the NHL version. In qualification playoff, quarterfinal and semifinal stages, as well as bronze-medal game, the overtime period will be 10 minutes of sudden-victory format. A shootout occurs if game remains tied. In the gold-medal game, the overtime will be 20 minutes, followed by a shootout if game is still tied.
In the shootout, it is a three-man roster that can be named after the conclusion of overtime. In IIHF play, any player can go after the three shooters have gone, including the same player on a repeated basis. In the NHL, all 18 shooters must have a shootout attempt before shooters can be repeated. Also, in the Olympics, a coin toss is used to decide the order in which teams will shoot.
I’ll bet Switzerland could smoke Brodeur in a shootout…..

Great Article on Tlusty (Somewhat OT)
Here’s a link to a great article on Tlusty.
http://twtr.net/sports/nhl/canes/2010/02/19/tlusty-providing-experience-for-rats—-troy-record
Here’s a quote from the article:
Tlusty is relishing the playing time he’s getting now as following a trade which brought him from Toronto to the Carolina organization on Dec. 3.
"I’ve played a lot and it’s been great," said Tlusty, who’s listed at 6-foot tall and 209 pounds. "I let us down on Wednesday, I have to go out there and play every single night and help the team win. When guys don’t play well, I have to step up and help make a difference."
With Tlusty’s talent, I would not be surprised to see him develop to the point he plays in the Olympics in four years (assuming the NHL allows its players to compete). Also, I like Tlusyt’s attitude as well.
That’s a great article, thanks for finding and posting! It’s refreshing to see how someone who was probably best known for some rather immature activities off the ice is being regarded as developing so much maturity. Seems like he carries a good attitude and work ethic in addition to his skill. I think he’ll work out well here.
