You can try channelsurfing.net. They might have some usable feeds.

Justin.tv has some feeds. I was able to watch most of the women's downhill until all of a sudden the feed was pulled for "copyright" reasons. This happened just as the German was beginning to do her run- likely the last challenger for the gold. Like I said, I cannot begin to watch the NBC coverage because it is crap of the highest odor. Nothing beats seeing an event LIVE w/o constant commercial and back story interruptions!

I was hoping to hear the games on satellite radio as well especially hockey but they aren't on their either. NBC killed the olympics!

Wow that was a great game. The shoot out was good. I was surprised how well Brodeur did. I wish he could play this well for us in the regular season...

Just a thought, as I'm treated to NBC's extensive figure skating coverage: If you're wearing a shirt open to your solar plexus, you might want to do something about the giant zit on your chest. Just sayin'...

NBC has such knowledgeable commentators. From the Today Show Olympic recap this morning, referring to the USA win over Canada yesterday:
"It's not the Miracle on Ice. It wasn't for the gold medal."
Um... the Miracle on Ice wasn't a medal match either...

You have to understand. The talking heads you see as "knowledgeable commentators" are professional readers. They just read what the writers and producers provide for them. The writers and producers are pissed off wannabee commentators but aren't photogenic enough to get in front of the camera or they have nervous tics or something. Most of them know very littler about real sports but can tell you everything you want to know about ice dancing. And, since they probably weren't living when the "Miracle on Ice" was actually played, they don't know anything more about it then the can read on Wiki.

But let me tell you how I really feel about "broadcasters"

By the way, I wouldn't call the USA defeat of Canada a miracle but I would rate it right behind the Saints beating the Colts.

USA vs. Switzerland hockey on right now. This looks to be a good game. Back and forth, lots of shooting. Both goalies have been making some awesome saves.

Well, the US went on the offensive after holding the Swiss to only 1 shot on a power play. 0-0 after the 1st, with USA outshooting Switzerland 18-4.
