2010 Olympic Hockey TV Schedule

PrintThough the Islanders not named Mark Streit will be off in Mexico, Ontario and assorted points in between, we'll still be talking hockey of all varieties during the NHL's Olympic break here at Lighthouse Hockey. Part of that will be the occasional game thread/chat and quick review. If you have a must-see game you're going to watch, chime in -- even start a FanShot thread if there isn't one already up. My rooting bias will be anything involving Streit, as well as the USA and Czech Republic for my own "roots" reasons; but all your partisan cowbell-clanging is welcome here.
And by all means, feel free to write your own Olympic content in FanPosts: Confessed Norwegian homer Hans und Franz got us started off with reviews of the lesser-known Olympic hockey rosters here: Part I (Norway and Switzerland), and Part II (Latvia), and Part III (Germany and Belarus). And Swiss partisan BenHasna left his thorough remarks about Streit's team.
For reference, after the jump is a list of men's and women's games, with U.S./Canadian TV schedule when available. The NBC networks have listed almost all of these as "LIVE," but you know with Olympic coverage that can mean a lot of things -- particularly with the large window placed next to some of these games (something that is doubly irritating for DVR purposes, when the only window available is six hours with a game scheduled smack dab in the middle). Though Canadian networks are also listed when I've found them, the time windows (EST) are from the U.S. corporate giant and "NHL partner" that has paid good money to slap their logo all up and down these games.
Update: Thanks to TMC for posting a more precise schedule -- minus the "Oh, catch hockey sometime in between snow angels and this feature on the Mongolian figure skater" windows.
Note: All times Eastern.

My roomie the Flyers fan has been following Hockey the last two years and is still learning a lot. Well last night I was talking to her and she was telling me that she was watching one of the olympic games. But for the longest time she thought something looked odd/off about the players and she just couldn’t put her finger on it.
Ended up that they finally showed a closeup of one of the players and had their name across the screen. The reason it looked odd? She was watching Women’s hockey.
BTW Dom, if you do a game thread for any of the olympic games I’ll try to post a feed for those games that isn’t the awful NBC coverage of the games.
"Martin is psychical" - In reference to Matt Martin being called up to the Islanders.
But for the longest time she thought something looked odd/off about the players
Ha! That’s classic.
Thanks for the offer. That’d be lovely.

awful NBC coverage of the games
Could it be too much to ask for them to have halfway descent announcers for the Olympics? If they don’t have Al Michaels do some of USA’s games, I will loose faith in humanity. They have him doing all these stupid studio segments, he’s not a studio guy, he’s a play by play guy. He said probably the most recognizable call in sports broadcasting history. NBC finally pried him away from ABC, and they have him as Bob Costas’ bitch.
As I said in on of the previews, about the only thing I can’t wait for is the announcers to completely butcher the names of the Latvians and/or Belarusians.

Fully expect to hear this in the coming weeks:
“And Team Lativa sits in a prevent under the pressure of Canada’s full-court press, with no foreseeable escape as they are out of timeouts.”

Confessed Norwegian homer Hans und Franz
and here i thought he had the most clever name in history — thats right, the best movie terrorist in history, hans gruber, screaming at franz neilsen “Schieß auf das fenster!”
why isn't #16 hanging in the rafters?
I was actually going for the classic SNL body builders’ skit featuring Franz Neilsen and Dana Carvey.

announcers
maybe doc emrick? i heard that the great gary cohen does phenomenal hockey and has done the olympics in the past. be nice if we could get that

After hearing him do some of the Womens’ games, I expect to hear Kenny Albert also call some Men’s. I think Doc and Joel Micheletti will be one of the teams, and Pang is under contract for the Olympics. But Doc already does the games for the NHL on NBC and is handcuffed by NBC’s Hockey for Dummies-type broadcast.

Someone tell me Pierre McGuire has to stick do Canadian broadcasts and I’ll be appeased.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Per NBC’s press release, here’s the broadcast team for hockey
· HOCKEY: Veteran broadcaster Bill Patrick will host all hockey coverage in Vancouver, his second Olympic broadcast assignment with NBC. Mike "Doc" Emrick (sixth Olympics and third with NBC) and Kenny Albert (third Olympics, all with NBC) will serve as play-by-commentators for both men’s and women’s hockey. Analyst Ed Olczyk (first Olympics), inside-the-glass reporter Pierre McGuire (second Olympics) and studio analyst Mike Milbury (first Olympics) will reprise their NHL on NBC "Game of the Week" roles in Vancouver. Joe Micheletti (game analyst), making his sixth Olympic appearance, and former NHL all-star Jeremy Roenick (studio analyst), making his Olympic broadcasting debut, will bolster the men’s hockey roster. Micheletti will also serve as a reporter for both men’s and women’s hockey. Olympic gold medalist Cammi Granato returns to NBC for her second Olympic appearance as women’s hockey studio analyst. Reprising her role from Torino, AJ Mleczko will serve as women’s hockey analyst.
The sum of all fears. Micheletti. McGuire. Milbury. Oh My! I guess the one benefit is no Jack Edwards.

Milbury
GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
Dam you NBC! Why Must You Mock Me!
"Martin is psychical" - In reference to Matt Martin being called up to the Islanders.
Cammi Granato
Makes a better in studio analyst then Milbury. Plus she’s much more pleasing to the eye.
How great would it be if TSN got Roy as in studio analyst? We could just get Roenick and Roy going back and forth at each other.
"Martin is psychical" - In reference to Matt Martin being called up to the Islanders.
no to Roy or Roenick
Gotta go for Cammi on this one- The two load mouths are very un-hockey. Our sport h.olds itself to a little higher standard
MAYBE MORE LIKE 1974!
Wow… listening to Millbury and watching some of the players (especially Slovakia!) Im gonna feel like I did the frickin time warp or something.
Let Us Go, Islanders! (Ever notice how strange that sounds without the contraction?)

Thanks! Just had to take the guesswork and random chance of curling out of the equation, eh? ;)
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Can anyone verify?
I think these are all the current and former Islanders who will be playing at the olympics. Am I missing anyone?
Zdeno Chara / (SVK) D, 1996-2001
Denis Grebeshkov / (RUS) D, 2005-2006
Olli Jokinen / (FIN) C, 1999-2000
Viktor Kozlov / (RUS) C, 2006-2007
Roberto Luongo / (CAN) G, 1997-2000
Zigmund Palffy / (SVK) RW, 1991-1999
Miroslav Satan / (SVK) RW, 2005-2008
Mark Streit / (SUI) D, 2008-present
Josef Vasicek / (CZE) C, 2007-2008
Mattias Weinhandl / (SWE) RW, 1999-2006
Richard Zednik / (SVK) RW, 2006-2007
Let Us Go, Islanders! (Ever notice how strange that sounds without the contraction?)
I couldn’t find anyone else.
Vasicek made the Czech team? I know he’s been playing well in Russian, but that really highlights the Czech’s struggles of producing players of late.

Thought I was out of luck as CBC lost the bidding for Canadian rights,
NHL.COM isn’t carrying the games, and NBC feed isn’t available up here. But CTV carries live stream and archive editions. Interesting watching it without an announcing team.
