Friday night, you’ll be tired from the Thanksgiving holiday, the silly start to the Christmas shopping season and maybe even the football games. What better way to get a change of pace than to get a 12 minute sneak peek of HBO Sports’ award-winning 24/7 series on the upcoming NHL Winter Classic pitting the New York Hockey Rangers against the Philadelphia Flyers. This season’s game takes place at Citizens Bank Park in Philly. And if last year’s 24/7 on the Penguins and Caps is any indication, this year’s version will give us some new stars to follow. Last year, Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau became a star thanks to his colorful language.
We’ll see who HBO focuses on this season. Here’s the HBO press release.
