Caps Penguins 24- HBO

[Boom_70]

Anyone watching? Perhaps the greatest promotion for hockey in America since the 80 Olympics.

Love that refs are miked. Never realized how much interaction there was between players and refs.

 

[Runnin Rebel]

It's a great series. Good for the sport and good for the 24/7 series. This one was much more exciting than Jimmie Johnson's series.

 

[crusoes]

It's so much ****ing better than Jimmie ****ing Johnson, and you can ****ing thank Bruce ****ing Boudreau. Bruce is like the ****ing Old Man in A ****ing Christmas Story. He's a ****ing artist with the ****ing F-bombs.

As someone on the NHL thread mentioned, Reg Dunlap would be proud.

Yes, it been very good viewing, and hearing.

 

[JackReacher]

Awesome show.

I'm still amused at how people react to cursing. And how surprised they are (apparently) that professional athletes and coaches curse.

 

[Steak Snabler]

Covered Boudreau back when he was coaching in the minors. He's a first-rate guy, but yeah, he can curse with the best of them.

Though last night, Boudreau curbed the cussing. Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin did most of the cussing in the third episode.

Great series with in-depth looks at all different facets of the game, of the two teams and of the players' personalities.

Puck Daddy has a great rundown of last night's episode, complete with video.
