Good curling match going on now (USA vs Switzerland) on NBCSN...

 

[dfergie]

Apparently my dead horse was ignored because I hid it inside a spoiler? Or is the question truly that lame? I will try again.

Spoiler

: is there a 3D channel available anywhere?

I should have a DVR-full of curling to watch when I get home from work today.

The live -vs- delayed issue doesn't really bother me that much, by the end of it all I'll be several days behind anyway. Accidentally knowing who won a medal doesn't reduce the enjoyment of seeing top-quality events.

Actually 3D really enhanced the London Olympics... most of the time you didn't have the NBC talking heads ruining everything.

I wanted to watch the USA-Norway Men's curling match,but NBC/NBC Sports couldn't be bothered to show it live.

I understand it would completely undermine the whole revenue stream and funding for the Olympics, but I sure wish we could watch the raw feeds directly from the OBS.

Carey Price in net for Team Canada tomorrow. Jonathan Quick in for Team USA.

Well, in women's hockey, Canada just beat USA 3-2. USA was already moving on the semifinals so Canada really needed this game more than the U.S. Now Canada moves on to the semifinals as well.

Not if you just seen team Oshie hand it to Russia.

 

[whitewolf8214]

Way to go Team USA and T.J. Oshie!!!

 

[JAG72]

Really don't like the IIHF rules for a shootout. Didn't like that you could have the same player take all of the shots after the first 3 rounds. Happy that USA won but would have preferred to see more players take the shots.

I don't like the SO in general.
