Here is the schedule:
http://www.nbcolympics.com/event-results-schedules/index.html

And if you have certain cable/satellite providers you can sign up on the site and watch some events live that don't make it onto tv. I have directv and was able to sign up for it.

The live streaming and replay schedule is here http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/live-full-replays.html

Kinda bugs me that most of the Hockey is on MSNBC,USA and CNBC not on NBC. I'm happy I can watch it but will Curling and Cross Country really get NBC better ratings then Hockey?

I don't know if they will actually get better ratings, what matters though is if the execs at NBC think that they will ... and as we have seen with the whole Leno/Conan issue, nobody has any clue what is going through those people's heads

Canadian Women's hockey team beat Slovakia 18-0 today

I actually feel quite bad for the Slovak goalie, but that being said that team wasn't expected to make it into the Olympics at all so still a good showing for them considering that the US and Canadian women are really only competing against each other and are in a completely different class from the other teams.

The Koreans took each other out on the last turn in speed skating

USA picks up its first gold and another bronze!

Interesting backstory with Kearney. It was cool to see her win. Still, I'd like to see Canada pick up some gold. You always want the host country to do well...

They'll be fine. The team is made up almost entirely by franchise players and 35% of Team Canada roster are captains of their respective NHL teams. They're used to carrying all the fan expectations for their NHL clubs and while the Olympics adds more pressure, it's not that big a difference for professional players.
