This is Finnish tv, remember.. The 3rd period will be shown on tape delay after the freestyle finals. I can't believe the morons at YLE

They are not morons. They are gently forcing people to the digi TV age. Their message is clear, you should have gotten a digibox by now, or you should run to the store and get one.

Its a break now.. so thatys why theyre sending news.
If the game went to news in the middle of the game, then you're watching the TV1/TV2 feed. Then stop it and clikc the YLE24 thing next to the TV1/TV2 thing. Then you'll get the game without news breaks in the middle of the game.

My colleague gets the feed about 2-3 seconds faster than me for some reason. So she's been shouting out "goal!" before I even get to see it.. erh, takes away a bit from the enjoyment but..

Thanks! I was watching TV1/TV2 feed, thought it was weird when they stopped sending even if the second period wasn't ended yet.

Can you post the link? I'd want to watch the 3rd period live too.

That is just incredible, OK, i understand that Finland has chances for medals in the bouncy-hill-hopping and this is the first match in hockey and the game is over but *** leaving the game in the middle. That is the worst thing.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Gerber out, Aebischer in

Thanks.

I'm impressed by that M. Koivu-Nieminen-Ruutu -line. Especially Ruutu's having a good game so far.

Everyone keeps saying that Tuomo is the one with the soft hands, but Jarkko can really play when he chooses to.


Aebischer in goal now?

I am SO ANNOYED!

MSNBC is showing the Hockey here in the US and they've dropped the 3rd period for the Czech-Germany game!

I understand that there is more interest in this game, but you can't show the first two periods and then not show the end!!!!

 

[bling]

That really does suck! ***?

Sometimes I just don't understand us finns. You have to buy that digibox anyway so why just wait til the last moment and keep whining "why all the good stuff is coming on digichannels". Just go an buy the damn box!

And this wasnt' directed to you psychodad, I'm just fed up by finnish people who always want to be against every new thing.

 

[edd1e]

they are starting to cruise now, which is...

what a save from aebischer!

 

[chiavsfan]

No it doesn't suck...no one wants to watch another team get blown out. I am glad when they switch from the blowout games to the start of one that may be more interesting

They will probably go back to the last half of the third after the first is over in the Czech-German game.

Hasek goes to the dressing room for the Czechs. Don't know what the injury is though.

So why not put the whole game on digital-tv? why show two periods on analog and then switch. Thats my problem with this.

Sure you can...when it's apparent the game is over

I've been wathcing the whole game from YLE24.

The whole game has been on YLE24 all the time. They showed it on both channels for the first 2 periods..

Yes it does suck, and I defy you to tell me what I may think sucks!

I hope so. I mean, I understand that there is more interest in this game from a programming perspective, I just think once you start showing a competition, you should show the end. Naturally, I'm biased. I guess I should be at work anyway.

Woah! Germany just scored.

 

[hifk88]

Game is over!

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

*cheers!*

5-0 Frank with the shutout. Team looked very good.

 

[ColoradoHockeyFan]

For anyone who did get to see the entire game, can you tell us how Aebischer played, while he was in there?

That one period? Solid, few excellent saves. But didn't have the sort of pressure to deal with that Gerber had as Finland appeared to play more submissively.
