NBC Has High Expectations For The U.S. Men's Hockey Team

Believe it or not, we are just a month away from the return of the Winter games and NBC has their hype machine in full force. In fact, NBC is so excited about covering this year's Winter games that they are making some rather bold predictions about the U.S. Men's hockey team.

Bottom line: "Ryan Miller and U.S. men's Hockey team head into the semifinal round (live ET/CT) with a medal in sight."

Now that's confidence in a team! Mark it down, folks, the United States men's hockey team is going to the semifinals and will at least compete for a medal. And when it does happen, don't you forget that you heard it from their promoter NBC!

Aspeaking of NBC and medals, I really can't tell you how excited I am to hear that the olympics are introducing a 4th place medal in this year's Winter Olympics in Vancouver. What, you haven't heard about it? They are going to call it The NBC....
