OT: Olympic hockey schedule

way too lazy to find the tv schedule... can someone post here?

Here is the schedule for all the game (not TV)

Here is the global TV schedule (not just hockey)

I'm impressed, you managed to find two separate ways to not *quite* answer the question that was asked.

thank you...
now for team canada?

Well, I'm pretty amazed that there isn't a good composite TV schedule for hockey games that I've found yet, so I compiled a rough one here. I think they made a few assumtions (like times of USA medal round games....and IF they make it), but I can try to keep tabs on it. A few of the games are buried in multi-sport coverage, but the start times listed before each game are the scheduled game times.

It may exist on NBCOlympics.com, but that site is so bloated and there are so many hoops to jump through just to get at their TV schedule, it isn't worth it.

CNNSI has game times listed. I haven't double checked with my channel list in my previous post, but I think it's safe to assume that all games will be on TV live, with the exception of the women's non-medal placement games on the 17th and 20th.

Canada vs Italy... we want weeder.

I happened to catch some of the US-Swiss women's game this morning. As usual I was frustrated pretty quickly when a couple of beautiful checks got called as penalties and put the US down 2 "men". Of course, the US scored on the ensuing 5x3...

"Checking" is a penalty in women's hockey. You may know that, but I can't be sure by your post.

And right now Italy is making a textbook case of why the host country should not get an autobid in an eight team field.

edit: Canada has already scored twice with an extra attacker on a delayed penalty. I can't remember if or when I might have seen that before.

Was hoping the Swiss could have converted on that 5x3. Would have made for an interesting 2nd half of the game.

It should really be a 2 team field.

The Canadian womens team is trouncing Italy 7-0 in the second... (big suprise)

Make the final score of that one 16-0!

The logical conclusion that I'd draw, then, is that given that the USA and Canada are the only countries with a real shot, the inclusion of Italy in place of someone else who probably also sucks is not a big deal.

at the same time though you're denying someone a shot at bronze. yeah, it probably doesn't matter.

good game for the usa women today.
the other problem with including the host country is that a team deserving of getting a spot may also be a team who is eager to play against the best in the world to better their own game. the swede goalie is a good example. she played quite well, just had nothing in front of her to help when everyone ahead of her got tired.

The logical conclusion that I would draw is the same one that they draw for baseball, softball, and men's and women's golf: women's hockey is not played in enough countries at a high enough level to make it an Olympic sport.
