Finally a chance to watch Curling and hockey

Finally a chance to watch my to favourite sports in the same day. Hockey and curling! Neither are televised often enough, especially in the United States and curling is almost never carried on TV in the U.S. I was able to watch the Scott's Tournament of Hearts but the Brier is never carried down here, even on cable. The olympics are are about the only time when curling is carried fully. That goes double for women's hockey and it shouldn't, the ladies game is every bit as exciting as the mens and has more finesse. I expect our women to show their skill to the world in a big way.
I can't count the times I have rewatched last years World Championship game between the United States and Canada. It was a scoreless tie after regulation and overtime before the American ladies won on the shootout. A fantastic game and a nailbiting finish between the two undisputed top teams in women's hockey in the world.
Watch out for the Finns and the Swedes they are getting better, the Finnish girls have scored on the Americans and had the lead 3-1 twice this season. losing 5-3 in Hartford Connecticut in an exciting game and going ahead 3-1 at the end of the 2d period just today before falling 7-3 to the American onslaught in the final frame.
If this all isn't confusing enought NBC is carrying the olympics on 5 different channels! The main NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, CNN, and USA(hadn't even known USA was an NBC network). I had noticed the last couple of years that after a change in ownership the quality of programming on the USA network had taken a definite nosedive, now I know why. Whenever NBC gets involved the only time I watch CNN or CNBC at all is for the olympics, as far as MSNBC goes I make an exception once in a while for Joe Scarborough, but I'm afraid he's all they have worth watching.
