I chose #2, how about you? Hardest part is I'm missing the Sabres games and can't wait until the season resumes.

I'd personally take Sabres hockey over these anyday, but if somethings gotta put the season on hiatus for two weeks, we could do a lot worse. ;) I chose 2.

Am I the only one who watches all of the hockey in the olympics? I never missed a game yet.

I've watched as much hockey as possible, I love watching these teams compete.

The men's games are all good games too, women's bores me but I've watched a few games.

How can you not like Mens Olympic Hockey. There almost all NHL players or former players. It's better than the All Star game. Just got done watching Czech Republic vs Slovakia pretty decent game with some hitting. And just to give all you Sekera fans a head ups he was on the ice for 2 goals scored against in the final few minutes of the second. One by Jagr and the other by Plekanec also assisted by Jagr who had a great game.

So I'm one of the two who said that I love the Olympics and watch as much as I am able.... I just love seeing all these world class athletes duke it out in sports that don't get a lot of mainstream coverage. It's refreshing.

Just the joy of competition. :)

I watch as much of the hockey as possible, seeing that I am living in a hotel and they don't have all of the proper channels. I have gone out to a bar to eat and watch two games so far.

I enjoyed the 1st goal in the USA vs Switzerland - Bobby Ryan scores on his NHL teammate Jonas Hiller. They were also teammates in Portland ME, so it had a nice local connection for me.

NBC is blowing all of the other tape delay coverage. Come on, tape delay? what is this, 1980?

I like the hockey. Best games so far have been Finland - China and Slovakia - Switzerland for the women.

Good point.

It's a very noble tournament.

I'm pumped! I love when the Olympics roll around, it's a very exciting time to see some of the greatest athletes in the world compete against each other and show off their talent and skills. Obviously it's especially exciting for me this time because Ryan Miller is representing Team USA and I think it's awesome! But even though I chose option #1, I probably won't be sad once they're over because then it means I'll be able to watch Sabres hockey again.

Just kidding. You couldn't pay me enough to watch baseball :(

I love the Olympics. I've watched almost every hockey game so far. I've also watched a lot of curling and some skiing and snowboarding.

I was at the student center watching the men's curling and there was probably 20 of us in there and we were all captivated by it and going oh and ah. What's really funny is I know almost all of us had never watched a match of curling in our lives before and we were all so into it.

I have only watched hockey and some curling, since they sometimes play some curling before the Hockey games.

Was watching Great Britain vs. Sweden women's curling, and only because of the few hotties.

Man what a great day of hockey thursday was. Usa and Norway, Canada and Switzerland, and Slovakia and Russia. God who doesn't want NHL players playing in the olympics? They had some great games today with Switzerland almost pulling the upset over Canada and then Slovakia playing on back to back nights stun the Russians. Looking forward to more days of great hockey ahead.
