I was amazed as well...but moreso infuriated. I was at a friend's place when I realized the game was starting soon and flipped to NBC. We watched about 20 minutes of skiing and figure skating before concluding that it couldn't be on that station. (That realization took so long solely because we thought it impossible for them not to air the USA/Canada hockey game. After all, we're in America and hockey is the most popular winter sport over here; it'd be inane not to air that game.) It being really cold and my being a poor college student, I decided to just resign myself to my fate and asked my dad to send me score updates via text. The scores were inspiring enough-- we were keeping pace with the Canadians in hockey. But then Dad starts throwing in extras like "they're wearing 1980 throwback uniforms," "our goalie is having the game of his life," "huge fight at the end of the 2nd." Fuck fuck fuck. How am I missing this? Then he drops the bomb: "This is the best game I've seen since 1980." Fuuuuck! Right then in the middle of watching Family Guy on Fox with everyone else, on Taco Night of all nights, I just jumped up, explained I couldn't just sit there, and left. I powerwalked down to the near-campus area and walked up and down the street till I found somewhere with the game on (which took a long while) and-- no joke-- stood outside in the freezing cold on the phone with my dad through the entirety of the third. Christ, it was so worth it.
