Here’s how you can watch the Olympics men’s hockey quarterfinal game between Norway and Olympic Athletes of Russia online and by live stream.
Now that the group stage and the one-off playoff games are finally over, the quarterfinal stage in Olympics men’s hockey can begin. A lot of attention is certainly going to be on Olympic Athletes of Russia, who got off to a shaky start but looked dominant in their last two games against Slovenia and USA.
They will play a Norway team that’s just happy to be there. They only picked up one point in the group stage, but played with a lot of resilience in their overtime win against Slovenia. But with all due respect, Slovenia are not Russia. The tournament favorites are well-balanced, but have a one-man wrecking crew in Ilya Kovalchuk who has scored four goals in three games.
If this were any other Winter Olympic sport, Norway would have the upper hand. But it’s hockey, which is Russia’s domain, so expect them to assert their dominance. Considering they still don’t have a gold medal at these Olympics, they’re likely going to shift all of their attention to winning in men’s hockey.
NBC has exclusive rights to broadcast the 2018 Winter Olympics, which will go out across all of its television, mobile and digital platforms. For those who have already cut the proverbial cord, you can live stream the games, including the men’s hockey tournament.
The game will take place at 4:40 p.m. local time, which is 2:40 a.m. ET. While you won’t find many people in North America staying up to watch this, it’s on at a reasonable time in the morning for the two playing countries. However, even Norwegians have to know that they’re coming into this game playing with house money.
