    This is the difference between being able to show events live vs. packaging highlights "plausibly live."

    1968 Winter Olympics had 35 events compared to 102 events in 2018

    I’m a bit behind on my DVR, but this is an all-time homer call, and it’s fantastic.

    And how many of the U.S. medals have come in events added since then? If it weren't for women and the snowboard...

    Pretty poorly officiated game so far. Canada took two bad penalties to start that were easy ones, but the third was a missed slash and then they caught the retaliation.

    Then there was a missed offside that led to a shot on goal for the US and then they missed a too many (wo)men on Canada.

    Lors of empty seats at the gold medal hockey game. Enjoyed seeing Scott Moir and the rest of the figure skaters downing beers at the game.

    Nice flop to draw a penalty by the US player.

    Textbook interference. Plenty of bad officiating that period, but that one was an easy call.

    2nd power play was a flop.

    Reminds me of one of my favorite gambling jokes from Norm MacDonald.

    Bettor: My god, I had a terrible day today. I lost 15 out of 15 in college football, I lost 8 out of 8 in baseball and I lost 6 out of 6 in soccer. I don’t know what I am going to do.

    Friend: Well there’s a hockey game on tonight.

    Bettor: I don’t know anything about hockey.
