"The rival Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins will be featured in a reality show as part of their showdown in the Winter Classic. HBO will air four hour-long episodes in its "24/7" franchise before and after the Jan. 1 game at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.
The NHL and the network announced Thursday that the series will premiere Dec. 15 and air on each of the next three Wednesdays. The Penguins' Sidney Crosby and Washington's Alex Ovechkin will face each other in the fourth installment of the Winter Classic at the outdoor home of the Steelers (ESPN)."
HBO does an awesome job with this kind of stuff. Their 24/7 stuff on boxing is usually better then the actually fight, and even knows how good "Hard Knocks" is, so it is about time the NHL jumped of this bandwagon. Crosby vs. Ovechkin is the best thing the NHL has going for itself, and for once the NHL is going to take advantage and market the hell out of it.
I also think every sport should have a "Hard Knocks" type of thing going into the season.
