Road To The Winter Classic starts tonight.

[DayNah]

This starts tonight. Hope it's as well done as the HBO series 24/7 from years past. It's on Epix in the US and Sportsnet in Canada. I'm not sure what time it's aired in the US but it's on at 10pmEST in Canada on Sportsnet.

Why is HBO no longer producing it? (I have HBO but not cable, so Epix is a no go for me.)

Should be available here after it has aired.

Not too sure but they axed it after last season.

Probably because now that there are like 14 winter classics every year they think the concept is as stupid as we do.

 

[BonMorrison]

Oh, didn't know they were still doing their own pre-show.

Won't be anywhere near as good as HBO's production but still should be worth checking out.

Its annoying they are premiering this on a night so many games are going on. The Blackhawks game won't even be over when this starts.

Caps game probably won't be finished either.

i think having a dozen or so outdoor games is stupid, but these all-access shows are always great. There hasn't been a bad 24/7 yet.

Well the head of HBO sports for the original 24/7 seasons, Ross Greenburg, is back as executive producer and I believe heads up the sports division for Epix. So I would expect more of a return to pre-2012 24/7 than anything else.

I think Puck Daddy's interview with the previous HBO employees stated they actually wanted to cover the Kings and Sharks over the winter classic.

How can I watch this in Sweden?

Sportsnet will probably be showing reruns all week.

NHL.com should have it according to the notification I just got on my phone. (US)

sucks that it's not really online at Epix if you don't subscribe to it... it's on NHL.com for free but only streaming live apparently so I missed the start.

The in-game footage is awesome. Love it.

 

[Ninja Hertl]

This is actually really good.

 

[Antsman41]

Pretty solid, miss Liev Schreiber's voice over though...

 

[Hisch13r]

I think it is better than the Wings-Leafs one and a little worse than the Rags-Flyers one. None of them compare to the Pens-Caps one though
