Originally Posted By Darkbeer Well, I am usually good to avoid threads with a West Coast Delay.

But when the Major Network, NBC, picks up the sport, then it gets the West Coast Delay. And this is the FIRST Hockey game that NBC decided to cover in full... But then, I am watching the UEFA Championship League games today, where they play all the games at the same time to prevent one team having an adventage with knowing the score of the other game. So I am watching a second game, after watching the earlier game live (11:30 PST), plus checking out the Curling Tiebreaker game between Sweden and Great Britain on MSNBC

But more than likely Sweden will have to go home tomorrow, as they are the 8th side and play Canada (Number 1 seed).

Canada and Russia had good officials, for the most part although they missed a number of two many men calls on both teams...Despite been ahead by four, you could never count the Russians out. The States will have their hands full, as will Canada. If both teams come out flat early, big trouble awaits them...Canada is starting to peak at the right time, no other team is peaking right now, the USA had only one line working .last nite..they'll need em all against the Finland....hope we both meet in the Final...it will be GREAT....
