Good thing I DVR’d it. There will be a healthy amount of fast forwarding tonight.

I guess the only thing live tonight is the hockey game?

The wife beater, Voynov, scored with 0.5 left in the first. Still 1-0 Ruskies early in the second.

There was bobsled, but I don't know whether #NBCFail showed the last two runs live. I've DVRed most of the prime-time prepackaged stuff, and usually deleted it the next morning after watching what interested me via the actually livestream.

I also preferred most of the livestream announcer/commentators, particularly for figure skating. I think last night's bobsled might have been prerecording for TV, with Erin Hamlin (American luge medalist and flagbearer... because all sliding sports are the same?!?) doing the color.

The Calgary 88 documentary was pretty good. But they sure glossed over Debi Thomas’s life since the Olympics.

Saw a bit of it on NBCSN this afternoon and had no idea. Thanks for the heads up...some interesting reading out there.

Tweeting at an airline for an upgrade because you won a gold medal is really lame.
