Thirty years to the day that the U.S. beat Finland to win the Olympic hockey gold, NBC announced it would show the U.S.-Finland semifinal of 2010 live in all time zones Friday.

Even the Pacific!

It starts at 3 p.m. Eastern Time.

No offense to our hockey friends in Finland or Slovakia, but as a journalist how can I not root for a Canada-U.S. final Sunday? That would be cool.
