HBO Sports "24/7 Penguins/Capitals: Road to the NHL Winter Classic" Receives Three Sports Emmy Award Nominations - Pittsburgh Penguins - News

Not too shabby! Not sure how a reality series got up for a writing award though?

Probably the narration?

Good point. It WAS epic. The opening and closing montras in basically every episode were quite poetic. I guess the staging was pretty cool in general with the filler material and what not.

 

[dare2be]

Any word on whether this will be released on DVD?

 

[apachef4]

I think Liev Schreiber should definately win an emmy. That dude does some awesome narration. I'd like to have him follow me around and describe my life. It'd be pretty boring, but I bet he would make it sound cool.

i hope they do it every year (of course with different teams)

Although I'd love to see more inside stuff on the Pens, I'd much rather get the view into new teams. I want to see some West Coast people though. How about Vancouver? That'd be interesting. Or a team with a hot-headed coach. Boudreau was a potty-mouth, but he's not the quickest tempered coach in the league.

You think Boudreau came up with all of those F-bomb laced rants on his own? Hecks no.

They are doing a similar series with the San Francisco Giants this year. After seeing 24/7 (which I loved and watched twice!), I am really, really excited for the Giants version.

It's nice to see Crosby's acting is finally being recognized.

Burn!

Nice.

As much as I hate them, I would love to see the Habs behind the scenes. Of course my team as well. But a team in Cali would be cool, just to see hockey in a different region.

You can't "Burn!" on your own post!

tortorella? rangers?

This. Please, this.

 

[SLY]

I'm assuming it'll be who ever is in the Winter Classic next season... Which the Rangers I'm sure are up there. I think they may go West first though. Time will tell.

 

[pixburgher66]

I think the West is up next, but I WOULD love to see Torts behind the scenes. That would be a hoot.

Here's a promo for the Giant's Showtime series. Look at Brian Wilson and his sexy car!

Nice!! Cool to see the BodPod there, hear about 'em all the time, never seen one in use (body fat percentage machine). Also Freddddddddyyyy! I miss that man
