I am really missing my home and native land right now. NBC couldn't cover a hockey game if their corporate lives depended on it. The game last night was supposed to be on MSNBC though and I tuned into it and guess what? No hockey game! If anyone else is as pissed as I am, express your frustrations here.

I HATE miles, gallons, pints, words spelled without u's, and all that other jazz...

The game was on one of the NBC affiliates last night. Might have been C NBC.

NHL center Ice almost always plays Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday nights. Once the Olympics are over, you'll have that to look forward to!

Yeah I really haven't liked their coverage but so far MSNBC always has hockey on as I'm going to bed and showed all three hockey games yesterday so that was pretty nice :)

My wife has been back since June 5, 2007. Now we're just livin' man, L I V I N :)

I missed it too##*&&%$#@!!

The only one I could find in High Definition was the Russian/Cheq game. And that was good fast game.

The red and white better settle down and get serious pretty soon if they want the gold.

I'm getting real tired of NBC.

I didn't really need to see all that sentimental fluff about the "Miracle on Ice" game, just show some damn hockey :lol:

I watched it on MSNBC - yes the commentary sucks but such is life...you ain't in Canada anymore :)

On the bright side...during the regular NHL season...you can see HNIC coverage on comcast on Saturdays...which is nice. Local hockey coverage in my area ( Washington CAPS) is pretty decent too.

I was able to see the CAN@USA game on MSNBC, delayed via DVR (as I wasn't home yet from Toronto from seeing the wife for the weekend). Excellent game. DVR is the way to go on some of these... ffwd through the junk. :-P

That's wierd. I don't understand how some of you got it on MSNBC when it wasn't on for us. Strange. Now, I wonder if the game will be on NBC today like the schedule says it's supposed to be.

That's awesome that nhl centre ice has hockey night in Canada. I'll have to get that as soon as I can.

Yeah, ctvolympics.ca doesn't work if you're located in the USA. Only if you connect via proxy from a Canadian IP address.
