I enjoyed this episode a tremendous amount. The skating in Bryant Park, with more from Danny Girardi’s son, the hilarity of the party at Brad Richards house and Marian Gaborik and the Christmas tree were all great. I LOVED the moment in the Flyers game where Ryan Callahan and John Tortorella are breaking down a play on the board and you can really see how the two work together.
At AM New York, Henrik Lundqvist had a little piece talking about the Winter Classic and the lead up and preparation towards it.
Hank says that it was scary to think about the HBO cameras being around all the time for 24/7, but now it is easy to forget they are there.
Plus, I think it’s cool for the fans to be able to see what goes on behind the scenes. We’re a pretty tight group, which you can probably tell from the show. Overall, it’s been a good experience, and it will be a nice thing to look back on for all of us.
I have talked with many non-hockey fans who have watched 24/7, and it’s universal in thinking that Henrik Lundqvist could be the coolest person on the face of the earth. I think that after the first episode, and the guys saw how the program would look, they started to relax and probably even play up to the cameras a little more.
#HBO247 revealed 3 sides of Torts: Torts the teacher in video session, Torts the rabid motivator in locker room, Torts the human w/Liam #NYR — Laurie Carr (@byndblueshirts) December 22, 2011
I thought it was a great episode, specifically for the video session and the intermission speech from Torts. Girardi’s son was adorable and, like everywhere else, it was getting a little dusty during the Liam segment. I loved how much Torts cares for the kid and it really did show another side of him. Of course Ilya Bryzgalov is hilarious and I enjoyed seeing #68.
