I hope for a better free skate from the men after the Sochi splat and best of luck to the US men. Apparently someone at NBCSN reads this forum because the live stream on the app is now called “Hockey, Figure Skating and More” on the main page. TV & Streaming as follows: TV/Cable: NBC Primetime will show the top skaters and the Americans mixed in with the other events with Tara/Johnny/Terry. NBCSN is the whole thing with Tara/Jonny/Terry(?) commentating. NBCSN App: Under Live & Upcoming: “Hockey and More” is the NBCSN stream above. “Men’s Free Skate” is the whole thing with Australian woman commentating. “NBC Primetime” is the NBC Primetime stream above.

I'd love to see Javi medal. When he's on, he's a super-entertaining performer. And I was a little gutted when he just missed it in Sochi. And, frankly, I can't help but root for an amazing skater who is basically their country's only hope. Does Spain have other good skating entries? Maybe they do, but I can't think of any. It's also a reason I root for P/C, Aliona/Bruno, and (last time, at least) for Kostner. 2 Link to comment

All he seems to know how to do is let us know how much time has expired or how much is left. He does mix it up a bit there. Edited February 16, 2018 by MaKaM Link to comment
Jaded February 16, 2018 Share February 16, 2018 NBCSN's skating coverage on Titan TV for tonight shows it's from 7pm ct/8pm est until 9:15 ct/ 10:15 est then that channel will air an Olympic Hockey Game. NBC's primetime coverage of multiple events including skating appears to be airing until 11pm ct/12am est so 4hrs in total. Figure Skating is also listed in the 1hr 30min of coverage after the late news so I added that to my DVR too in case I fall asleep. Didn't sleep well last night so better to be safe then sorry. 2 Link to comment

This forum would probably crash too with the flood of posts and angry gifs. Alternatively, Nathan miraculously (I'm talking "Miracle on Ice" miraculous) pulling it off would be an Olympic story for the ages. I feel like his redemption will be in four years, though, so I'm good. XD Aliev vs Cha in four years is going to be phenomenal. 1 Link to comment

And then I died laughing at all of the awful GoT references in the commentary. "A lannister always pays his debts." Back to skating: I hope Nathan slays tonight. I don't care if he medals or not, I just want him to skate like he knows he can. And then, because I like upsets, I want Javi to win. Or Patrick Chan, just to hear the echo of billions of cries of joy and/or despair. 8 Link to comment

Popular Post Moxie Cat February 17, 2018 Popular Post Share February 17, 2018 Johnny had an interesting comment during Fentz that the judging needed to be adjusted for triples/quads: "Tom Brady doesn't get points for ALMOST throwing to Glonk" (yes, Johnny made a football reference!). He then said you shouldn't get the base value points just for trying a quad, even if it's fully rotated, because "anyone can do four revolutions and fall." I totally agree. I'm tired of splats, especially after Sochi. 34 Link to comment

I'm tired of splats, especially after Sochi. Yeah, I do think there should be more points for splatting a quad than splatting a triple but is completing an extra revolution more difficult than landing a triple? I think they need to work on finding a happy medium between rewarding risk and rewarding execution. Edited February 17, 2018 by leopardprint 5 Link to comment
