IanForbes Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) USA vs Canada for gold will be on ESPN/UBC (red dish) at 0015 AM Monday morning or at midnight sunday Bangkok Unfortunately, the bars with sports channels in Chiang Mai will be closed for a Buddha day. No place to watch in the area I live. Oh well, it's just a bunch of over paid professionals playing a game that is supposed to be amateur. NOW WAIT JUST A MOMENT! Sunday, Vancouver time is Monday, Chiang Mai time. Maybe I can watch the game after all if I can convince my friendly bar tender at the Zoom bar to dedicate one channel for Olympic hockey live.

motoyen Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I was at the Pelican today at 9:30 to try and watch the game but all that was showing was skating. Around 10:00AM the ESPN announcer said they were going to switch over to hockey in about 20 minutes but it never happened. I waited till 11:00AM then bailed. I'd love to watch the gold medal game but who knows what time it will actually be shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkvet Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Larry's Dive is on Sukhumvit Soi 22. About 75 meters or so from Sukhumvit on the right hand side as you go away from Sukhumvit. Honey House is right beside it. Red post office letter box across the street (that's what I use as a mark to tell taxis to stop). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deelectro Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I agree with your time calculations, but would like to know when ESPN is showing the game. Their online schedule is haphazard at best. apparently they showed the Can slovak game around noon yesterday, but had shown the Fin game live. If there was a replay Monday evening that would make sense, Go Canada!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Not that it really counts but congrats to the women for beating the USA and winning the Gold. It counts. The women are the only consistently performing national team we have, compared to their overpaid prima donna counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deelectro Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Yep,, the womens ice hockey is entertaining to watch, the skill level is very high. In my world it is definitely a legit Olympic Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either Larry's or D' Pelican, is that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkvet Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Larry's will be open. I checked with the owner. They may even have a couple of breakfast specials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northend_boyz Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 I just called both Larry's and D' Pelican, they'll both be showing the game. See ya there. Go Canada! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbangkok Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) ^Better go to Larry's, another poster's sure it's showing this game. I mentioned Pelican's for some earlier games but don't know if they're showing this or not. Edit: oops didn't see northend's post, seems they both have it Edited February 28, 2010 by jbangkok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motoyen Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I can't watch the game but Go Canada! With Luongo in net I bet this will turn into a real goaltenders batter, the young kid against the veteran. Hopefully Lou can bring back some of that Olympic spirit and carry the Canucks into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Congratulation to the Canucks in a thrilling 3-2 OT Win. You deserve it. From a Yank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 It was very close.... too close almost That goal not only won the game, it gave Canada the record for most gold medals won in a Winter Olympics. Respects to the US though, they were not expected to be in the top five and they almost won it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 The important thing is that two decades ago, Europe was dominant, with North American and Asian nations barely noticed, but now Canada and the US are consistently on the top of the medal standings and countries like Korea and China are climbing higher every games. That spells good things for the future of the Winter Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekestone Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Congrats to Canada. And the US too for a great effort. Did Larry's or Pelican actually open to show the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkvet Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Both were open. Larry's had a nice group of Canadians and a couple of Americans. Great game! Probably the best gold medal game I can remember (the US vistory over Russia in 1980 is the best game olympic hockey game I remember, but it wasn't for the gold). I think that score with 25 seconds left in regulation gave a couple of the Canadians a shock but they got back with the game winner. Great game, 5 great goals, no cheap scores, not a lot of penalties... great defense played by both teams. Congrats to both teams. That was one to remember. Congrats to Canada. And the US too for a great effort. Did Larry's or Pelican actually open to show the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbangkok Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Amazing game, pity any Canadians who didn't experience it live. Respect to the Americans they put up a good fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Amazing game, pity any Canadians who didn't experience it live. Respect to the Americans they put up a good fight. I didn't get to see it live cause the hotel I was at didnt have ESPN. On a positive note however, it gave me good reason to pull out my 15 year old faded Team Canada Hockey cap and wear it around the pool / hotel in plain view of all the Team Russia wearing tourists. Funny how they didn't comment on how good my old hat looked. Edited March 2, 2010 by bkkjames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfchandler Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 James, was that the short-time room upstairs at Lolitas Soi 8...or The Penthouse Hotel behind Soi 11??? Can't believe they're not offering ESPN there...for their many farang guests... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
