Sochi Viewing Guide Day 11

I decided to change the format. It makes no sense to drop this in the middle of Sochi time. Why not do it around midnight, and make it run through the day until First Taste happens at 8:30 am. That's what we are going with here, and if you do not like it, I do not care. The format is changing basically giving you a timeline of what will be on television. I also will not post everything, just the marquee stuff.

What's on today?  
Happening Now:
We have three men's curling matches taking place. The matchups are Great Britain versus Norway, Canada versus United States and Russia taking on Sweden.  Where can I find it: Stream & US-Canada gets going at 2:00 am on NBCSN

Also the Super G is being decided in Men's skiing with Bode Miller with a realistic chance at a medal.

2:00 am - Women's Hockey - This is the classification round meaning one of these teams needs a win to stay alive between Finland and Germany. Where can I find it: Stream

2:00 am - Men's Hockey - Austria and Norway are both winless, their chance to get off the schnide  Where can I find it: USA Network

11:00 am - Men's Hockey - Finland against Canada should be a very good barometer to see where the Canadians are this Olympics. . Where can I find it: USA Network

Sochi Viewing Guide Day 9

First of all, I would like to extend an apology for not getting a viewer guide up. I straight up fell asleep after coming home from the bar, but I decided to change the format. It makes no sense to drop this in the middle of Sochi time. Why not do it around midnight, and make it run through the day until First Taste happens at 8:30 am. That's what we are going with here, and if you do not like it, I do not care. The format is changing basically giving you a timeline of what will be on television. I also will not post everything, just the marquee stuff.

What's on today?  
Happening Now:
We have three men's curling matches going down with USA battling Germany, Canada against Norway and Sweden facing off against China. NBCSN has the USA-Germany match at 2:00 am and Canada-Norway at 4:00 am. Where can I find it: Stream

1:45 am - Women's Skeleton - Medal event in this one and I have to be honest when I say... I have no idea what skeleton is but it appears to be one big 'The Plunge' on ice. For those unfamiliar with 'The Plunge", it is a dangerous ride at Noah's Ark. Where can I find it: Stream

Sochi Olympics Viewing Guide Day 5

I am going to do this to help the people out with their television needs with the Olympics. I will also include what will be on in the middle of the night for those whom do not really sleep very much. This is critical given it is unlike London where there is a smaller time difference than what we are dealing with here in Sochi, Russia. I do not know if we include recaps in here, but this is our beginning of our Olympic coverage for the next couple of weeks.  Pictures/links and everything else I can find will be included below plus this will go up before First Taste each day as the Olympics are happening basically as all of us wake up and before the usual Sportandfashion-news start time.

What's on today?  
NBC 
Daytime events: 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm - During the week, NBC does not really bring it during the day which is sort of disappointing. All we have for you is men's biathlon and men's freestyle moguls.

Primetime: 7:00 pm - 10:30 pm - All of these being repeats of earlier today but we have medal events in two men's speedskating events with the 500m and 1500m as well as women's super-combined alpine skiing. Not the best night in terms of events, but at least there are medal events to watch.

NBCSN 
Early Morning Events: 6:45 am - 10:00 am - For those waking up and expecting Dan Patrick Show in the morning, not happening. Instead we have Men's speedskating and freestyle skiing. I believe the men's speedskating will be a medal event.

Late Morning/Early Afternoon Events: 10:00 am - 2:00 pm - A load of things to prepare for the day if you have Monday off from the cold here in Milwaukee. They will have women's luge singles with women's skiing training for slopestyle. Included in this section of television is a women's curling match between Sweden and Great Britain

Women's Curling: USA v. Switzerland 2:00 pm - Is this a repeat of this morning or not? Very good chance I confused hockey and curling so if I did, my bad.

Hockey: 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm - Hockey game of the day which will be one of the women's hockey events.

MSNBC
Women's Hockey: Canada v. Finland 9:00 am - The women's hockey round robin continues with these two matching up against each other on Monday.

CNBC
Men's Curling: USA v. Norway 4:00 pm - I would assume this is a repeat from earlier today, but worth your time coming home today or at the gym.

Streaming on NBCOlympics 
3:00 am & 6:00 am - Nothing really on the stream besides round robin curling events, but we do have qualification for women's slopestyle alpine skiing and then the medal round will be at six.
