On the otherhand I dont care about US non hockey fans or what they watch...

Bring on the rest of the season and the playoffs baby!

Those 2 games the US played against Canada were so exciting that I kinda wish the Nhl playoffs started this week. There's no way game #62 of an Nhl season can capture that intensity.

No way in hell will they be close to that intense until the playoffs...but thats pretty true for most regular season games in the other sports as well except some of the NFL...

If you actually give the games a chance they arent really half bad...some are that bad though

I watch a lot of hockey. 90% of the Wild games as well as almost all of the games on Versus. I am a big hockey fan, but I feel like people who tune in this week as a new viewer will be bored at the non-Olympic style play in a regular season Nhl game. We'll see.

Sorry, we should have known all along, our gold medal win was prophesized by Shaun Majunder.

For those in the US, 22 Minutes is a fake news show on CBC that's been on for ages now..... usually pretty funny.

Bingo. The Olympics are a different animal than the NHL season. I loved the Olympic Hockey because of what it is, but I have zero interest in watching the NHL season.
