move game to night game and Russia opposed...Olympic authorities refused to move game time so it was a day game, broadcast tape delayed at night. I made a great effort not to know the outcome of the game before the broadcast. I do not know where I was when the game was played, but I was plastered in front of the family tv with my dad and mom during the broadcast. After the game, my mom said she heard the score on the radio earlier in the day...hats off to mom for keeping it to herself ** Edited by capitals1 at 2/4/2026, 6:46:25 AM
