First off...did anyone watch the USA vs. China in womens hockey last night?

Probably not, but that was the best display of US foriegn policy I have ever seen. After one shift in which the US girls realized they were worlds better than their Chinese counter-parts it became an hour-long "hockey tricks" show in which the US made amazing moves (batter-puck-goal) and made China look stupid.

Also, Saturday short track race with the Koreans unsweeping the podium was nice, and the dude from Montreal winning Canada\'s first home-territory gold medal.

EH! O! CANADA GO!

I was patiently waiting for someone to post an olympics thread.  Big fan of the winter olympics.  I\'ll watch anything, figure skating to hockey to moguls to speed skating.  Speed Skating=I heart Apollo Ohno.   Watched part of the women\'s hockey game,  just phenomenal.    USA men\'s hockey is tomorrow.  Curious to see what they got.   And def excited to eventually see Team Canada with Crosby....

yeah the hockey this year is gonna be amazing.  russia\'s lineup looks ridiculous.  itd be nice to see the americans go deep but i think it depends a lot on ryan miller and/or jonathan quick.  hopefully miller can pull through (im a sabres fan) and have an awesome tourney.  canada does look freakin awesome....so who knows.  and maybe sweden can come up big too.  they will certainly all be fun games to watch.

USA vs. Switzerland now....I can\'t figure out how to get it streaming at work.

Anyone know a live-update site?

The game to watch tonight is on CNBC Team Canada\'s first go vs. Norway.

Free beer at the next show for the first person to name me a norweign in the NHL _without looking on the interwebs_

Luongo has to get the starts the rest of the way.

Aside from that, that was the best hockey game I\'ve seen all year.

We\'re receiving daily reports of Phish "sightings" during NBC\'s coverage of the Vancouver Winter Olympics, including:
Ocelot was played during trials for the ski jump on 12/26/09.
First Tube was used in the bump to a commercial about the upcoming bobsled competition on 2/20/10.
Tweezer Reprise (a good 3 minutes worth!) was the background music for the Ono speedskating segment  late on 2/20/10.
Kill Devil Falls (the version from Joy) was played over the PA at the Canada vs. USA men\'s hockey game 2/21/10, with about 15 seconds left in the first period. They played about 20 seconds of the chorus before the puck was dropped again.
Axilla (Part II) (from Hoist) was played with about 8 minutes left in the second period at the same game.
 
Thanks to Andrew Cogan, Christopher Herrick, Christopher Lusk, Jeremy Pinquist, and Shaun McGrath for these recent reports - and to Scott Bartmanm who some time ago reported that Piper was used in cuts to commercials at the Olympics four years ago!
 
Other recent sightings include Good Morning America on 12/27/09; Seven Below as background music on 93XRT in Chicago in December 2009, advertising an upcoming concert by another band; and an Albany, NY, sportstalk radio show (104.5 WTMM The Team\'s Sound off with Sinkoff) has used Sparkle and other Phish songs as background music while Alan Fish reads promos.

I noticed Bohemian Like You by The Dandy Warhols during the men\'s half pipe.

Servo, Brian Jonestown Massacre, was played during the women mogols.

Its not hard to believe since many of these jobs are held by people our age. The baby boomer know not as much as we do about technology.

Think about. Makes sense.

Anyone catch Weber\'s goal (Canada vs. Germany) that WENT THROUGH THE NET?

Quote

Even so, the Canadian team didn\'t collectively exhale until on odd sequence early in the second period, when Shea Weber\'s slap shot from the point passed right through the net. Play continued until the next stoppage, at which point a video review confirmed that an actual goal had been scored.


Next MUST WATCH GAME:

CANADA VS. RUSSIA - TONIGHT

Yup.

Is the USA vs. Switzerland game going to be televised at all?
