Well yesterdays amazing USA Canada game wasn’t on NBC but on MSNBC which means some weren’t able to view it in HD.  Instead of showing the game between to bitter international rivals they showed bob sledding and stuff like that.  With all due respect to fans of bob sledding this game blew that away!!  They tuned in, in the last :45 seconds or so I heard right after the US stood on their heads defensively for over a minute straight.  Would it have killed them to cut their regularly scheduled programing short to show the last 3-4 min at least??  I don’t think so but I guess to them it would’ve.  If you see the entry below you will see that the game got 8.22 million viewers.  While I don’t know how many NBC got during that time I seriously doubt it was that much.
