The NBC Post
Also, The Technology Post*

I hate NBC.

I hate NBC's hockey coverage.

I hate a network that's losing millions of dollars on the Olympics believing it is more important that I see advertisements than a power play.

I hate a network telling me I can expect to see a specific match-up at a certain time not following through on what they said I should expect to see at that time.

I love technology that allows for live streams of actual, adequate hockey coverage.

I love technology that allows for live streams of actual, adequate hockey coverage to be recorded and watched and replayed and enjoyed for posterity.

I love technology that allows me to record, and later watch, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin playing with elite wingers, while also allowing me to get the necessary human staple of several hours of nighttime sleep.

*Note: Love and hate are strong words, here used for impact. "Dislike" and "like," while perhaps more true, do not appear to have the same impact.
