Olympic open thread and viewing schedule for 2/16 – USA vs. Slovenia

Today’s schedule

Austria vs. Norway

3:00am ET – USA

If you’re waking up to watch this game, good for you.

USA* vs. Slovenia

7:30am ET – NBCSN

After a thrilling shootout win over Russia yesterday, the US takes on their final round robin opponent, one through which they should roll fairly easily. Slovenia did pull off an upset of Slovakia, but there’s a big gap between Slovakia and America. There might be a danger here of a let-down game after yesterday’s made-for-the-big-screen victory, but expect the US to take care of business here.

Russia vs. Slovakia

7:30am ET – USA

The world will be watching this game to see whether or not Russia can bounce back from a crushing shootout loss to the US yesterday. They’re still a good team, and should be able to handle Slovakia as long as their focus remains on today games and not yesterday.

Finland vs. Canada

12:00pm ET – USA

Canada has been solid throughout the pool play portion of the tournament, and will face their final “test” against Finland today. Expect the Canucks to roll.

Note: All game times listed are EST. Games can also be streamed from NBC’s Olympic website or through their NBC Live Extra app.
