Wish this wasn't on the same time as the ski-cross :sad: Will probably end up flipping back and forth because I don't know when in the primetime slot they'll show the ski-cross, and I don't want to watch four hours of ice dancing.

If our Defense plays well, we have a shot at this thing.

In a hockey arena that seats over 18,000, they say that a pair of tickets are going for $50,000. Those must be good seats.

Not an HD version of this channel?

 

[Tornado man]

I think the announcers should point out that this is hardly an elimination game; the loser still will get to the quarterfinals by winning a cross-over game.

I was wondering the same thing. Direct TV?

Granted, I'm watching the end of USA/GBR curling before I switch over. Maybe MSNBC will switch to HD once the game starts.

Some of the stuff they had on last week was in HD, wasn't it?

It is an elimination game in a way for a first rd bye I think

Winner should get a first-round bye. Loser could, too, depending on the Finland/Sweden result.

 

[hurdleisu24]

If this game goes to OT they both should get byes I think. Finland could get bye without a win but I think Sweden is out if they don't win

 

[dinger]

YES!!!!!

 

[ZJohnson]

GREAT START!!

 

[ianoconnor]

YEA BABY!!!!!! USA!

 

[Al_4_State]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

 

[MNCyGuy]

HAHA! Eat it Canada!

 

[Al_4_State]

We're getting great offensive pressure here.

 

[ZJohnson]

Got to capitalize on those close ones if we want to win this one...two mistakes already for Canada that could have been goals.
