A Big F You to NBC!

Fuck you NBC!! Fuck you on several different levels too.

First of all...really?? You aren't going to broadcast the Canada vs USA game during prime time? Something that could actually help boost your coverage of the NHL games that you so blatantly ignore until football season is over? And considering that one of these teams has the NHL's golden boy on it, I am sure that Gary Bettman is foot-stomping mad over it. And you make these changes the day of? You are a bunch of tools!

Secondly....your website sucks! According to it, you have no coverage of the Olympics today until 7pm tonight. Thank you NHL.com for breaking it down and explaining how the coverage was screwed up and moved to other NBC channels, one of which I don't even get.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

And I guess Ice Dancing will surely garner you much more viewers than the USA/ Canada game. yeah, right. pffft

Ya, lots of people were bashing CTV and the other Canadian broadcast consortium members but after seeing NBC's efforts and mostly tape-delayed coverage, people were actually giving us some props.

Sam, that was basically my whole point.....I don't get MSNBC. But I still got to watch the game, I just had to take wings over to a friend's house. But I am sorely disappointed in Canada after all the trouble I went to.

No more discussion on the hockey game? For those of you who missed it due to broadcasting technicalities, the US whooped on Canada.

NBC was just saving the feelings of Canadian hockey fans by not broadcasting it the game.

for those of you who watched the first period and a half, the US didn't whoop anyone. Luckily, they came back in the 3rd

For showing figure skating over the us-canada women's hockey gold medal game while the game was live. Hell they even could have shown the full 3rd period after 8PM EST during their 'prime time' window that they fucking love for some reason. But no...pre-recorded figure skating.

NBC chief exec: "Nah...it's women's hockey. How hard is that...? A bunch of tough broads skating around acting like men...? Seriously. It's my decision, and I call for figure skating. More or less the same thing."

What a fucking idiot network. Their main guy is an imbecile.
