    HBO 24/7:Road to the Winter Classic 2012 Thread

    Well this debuts tomorrow night @ 10pm on HBO.

    I watched last year and loved what they did. As a die hard Rangers fan I could not be more excited to see what this year has in store.

    Really looking forward to getting to know my team on a more intimate level.

    Doesnt hurt that the Rangers have a TON of characters, of course Sean Avery being the most well-known.

    I'm throwing out some predictions that Dan Girardi and Brandon Dubinsky will emerge as some of the funnier people in the locker room.

    Rangers have been hot as all hell lately, so happy to watch this while they are winning.

    Should be fun to watch, don't care for either team but should be something fun to watch.

      I never thought I would like a sports show better than Hard Knocks until 24/7 started.

      I imagine the Avery drama will be covered tonight. Bryzgalov has a chance to be a breakout star. He's "sneaky" funny.

      I wonder if Kate Upton (works for MSG Network) or Olivia Munn (over-rated WAG) will make an appearance this season.

          My favorite part about these NHL/NFL shows like this is seeing the more "verbal" side that you don't really see watching on tv and the interviews after.

            Well I was right about Bryzgalov

            The production values on this series is amazing. I love the **** eating grin Avery gave to Anisimov in the dressing room.

                Bryzgalov has better English then I thought.

                He's pretty out there but it makes for a great show. The universe... deep stuff Ilya.

                        Loved it.

                        It's a bit strange being a Rangers fan and seeing these guys inside the locker room and out and about. Hockey is such a niche sport, and especially around the tri-state area the Rangers fly under the radar I almost feel like this is over exposing my beloved Rangers.

                        HBO does an A++++++++ job with their documentaries.

                          My roommate's parents have HBO and we can watch this online. Just watched the first one last night.

                          It was VERY good. Fascinating to see the stuff that goes on behind the scenes.
