Don't get me wrong, I do like that NBC ...Yeah. Don't get me wrong, I do like that NBC is at least showing hockey, but I also hear that the NHL really gets no revenue for showing their games on NBC, they do it just for the exposure, from what I've heard. I could be wrong. <br /><br />USA-Canada is a once every four year deal. Regardless of whether it was preliminary or not, it was a big game! I think that game would've been a great way to sell the sport in America. What if USA loses in the Quarterfinal...then they really did lose a good opportunity to see a good hockey game with USA winning. They could have at least showed the beginning of the game (or planned to) and if it was looking like a blowout, cut to ice dancing and show the rest of the game on MSNBC (but preferably USA or CNBC for HD).HockeyTrendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00288709335497320007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204655114770391061.post-43215309001587479372010-02-22T09:46:44.004-06:002010-02-22T09:46:44.004-06:00I totally agree. I am happy they showed the Czech ...I totally agree. I am happy they showed the Czech Republic-Russia game on NBC, but they should have shown the USA-Canada game on NBC instead. I think most of the primetime events on NBC happened earlier in the day...Why not show those events live and have the USA-Canada game on your main network.<br /><br />It also shows NBC and the Olympics are more focused on the artistic side of the games and making more entertainment then sport by showing ice dancing (I am not taking anything away from the athletes that compete in those competitions.) They are trying to appeal to a broad audience by showing ice dancing, but I feel every night they show some artistic event. Why not show a "niche" sport just for one night in the biggest hockey game of the prelims?Nathan Fournierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970366390829663376noreply@blogger.com
