Last night was the debut episode of Penguins-Capitals 24/7 on HBO and let's just say it didn't disappoint. HBO does a spectacular job with their reality TV shows based on sports. Whether their following Floyd Mayweather before a fight or following a NFL team during training camp. This edition of 24/7 is different for a couple of reasons. First it's based on two hockey teams. Second it's taking place after the season has already began and will follow the teams until the meet in the annual 'Winter Classic' on New Year's Day.
Where the show isn't different is with the personalities and Washington Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau fits right into the HBO/Rex Ryan/Cursing mold. Check out this speech he gave to his team after a loss.
I have to be honest. I've never heard Bruce Boudreau speak before until last night's episode. He sounds like a cross between Stan Van Gundy and a 13-year old boy going through puberty.
The other highlight of the show was Pittsburgh's Deryk Engelland fighting Toronto's Colton Orr with microphones turned on and the aftermath of what happened to Engelland after the fight.
I do suggest watching this series, even if you don't like hockey.You'll certainly love the personalities of the show. You'll love to watch Alexander Ovechkin shaving in his underwear without shame. And you'll certainly love Bruce Boudreau even though he might now even be the Capitals coach once we hit the New Year.
