Mike in Horseheads Posted February 3 Posted February 3 6 minutes ago, US Egg said: Surely there will be far more coverage on NBC Peacock streaming. Keep waiting for an Olympics deal, but doubt there’ll be one at this point. So one month it is. I'm paying $20 for a year right now. That seems fair 1 Quote
Mike in Horseheads Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Just now, US Egg said: $20 a month or a year? Yup! $20 a YEAR 1 Quote
Mike in Horseheads Posted February 3 Posted February 3 2 minutes ago, US Egg said: When, how.? They ran a promo, someone in the SHoutbox saw it and posted a link. WHen renewal came up last year it was regular price, so I cancelled. Then they gave it to me for $20 again Quote

Mike in Horseheads Posted February 3 Posted February 3 (edited) 2 minutes ago, US Egg said: Now as an old guy, saving nickels and dimes comes more naturally, even use coupons now. Anyways, unlikely, but hope to avoid the overload of “human side” soup stories by getting the Peacock Olympic stream. Just show the damn events……..another plus as a Sr. Citz., being crabby. Helps kill the time. They showed the whole Opening Ceremony in Paris live on Peacock, not the NBC condensed version Buffalo Sabres @BuffaloSabres · 19m Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will no longer play in the upcoming Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics due to a lower-body injury.

Jauronimo Posted February 4 Posted February 4 The group stage of the hockey tourney are a cake walk for the US and Canada. Somehow Sweden, Finland, and Slovakia wound up in one group with host nation Italy. U.S. draws Denmark, Latvia, and Germany. Canada draws Switzerland, France, and Czechia. I believe the top 4 teams in group stage get byes, bottom 8 play in the playoff, then remaining 8 in the semis? Its too bad Russia is not participating. Would make for a much better hockey tournament. 2 2 Quote

T&C Posted February 5 Author Posted February 5 1 hour ago, US Egg said: Just to reiterate, the NBC/Peacock Olympics stream service looks amazing, watch all the hockey games and other events live, minimal commercials. Full coverage of the Olympic parade and opening ceremony tomorrow 10:40 am est. $12 Thanks... the parade and ceremony I have no problem not watching though. I'm not going to get into another subscription when everything that I can't find on Sling blue or OTA is on the internet. Quote
