I don't understand for the life of me why NBC thinks people don't actually want to watch the live action.

Kind of like a major golf tournament in Britain.

Who the hell was the goalkeeper? I've never skated in my life, and I think I might have allowed fewer goals than 18.

There's not much a goalie can do without a competent defense. I played the position for a long time.

These Chinese women might be the worst hockey players I've ever seen.

That, and they seem to be significantly smaller than the Americans.

Couple of highlight reel goals from Team USA though.

game on, big chance for USA to get their first-ever nordic combined medal.

OMG the leader crashed.

I think the leader was a non-factor with or without the crash. He admitted he was good at jumping, but not so much in Cross-Country, so he might as well not even be in the race. He lost almost half his lead on the first of four laps before the crash.

This is really cool. Race is halfway done, the original leader is gone, USA is 1-2, and our best cross-country skiier who had a bad jump and had to start in the 20's, has already erased almost two minutes to catch up to the leaders at #8.

kstater 02-14-2010 04:09 PM

**** the Olympics, I don't know why they put this shit on TV.

kstater 02-14-2010 04:10 PM

NOOOOO

kstater 02-14-2010 04:11 PM

Still cool.

mlyonsd 02-14-2010 04:11 PM

I can't imagine skiing that hard for 25 minutes.

KC_Connection 02-14-2010 04:12 PM

What an ending.

alnorth 02-14-2010 04:13 PM

Man, if Demong would have had a halfway-decent jump, he would have blown away the field. Started about 2 minutes back and finished 6th or 7th
