Just watched it, thoroughly enjoyable.

Dan Bylsma came across very well. Measured man, tough, but fair, and you can see why he's had success.

Bruce Boudreau on the other hand, my goodness, I have no idea how the players can draw any inspiration from this man. That's how he reacts when the going gets tough? Oh dear.

Fascinating insight.

My mom already called me about how many f-bombs I used," Boudreau said. "Listen, it was a passionate speech. It wasn't anything that I'm sitting there and manufacturing up the word just to say the word. When you're talking with passion sometimes I don't know what's coming out of my mouth, quite frankly. That's what came out.

All I saw was a man using the f bomb thinking if he used it a lot the team might think he was serious and they looked right through it.

EDIT: Talbot: I want for Christmas... your two little helpers.

HAH!!

Agreed with both points.

Massive brownie points for Talbot for that comment.

You don't think Babcock cusses in the locker room when they lose 5-0 to the Kings?

And hopefully he knows more words than "f***"

And doesn't babble/stutter his words so much.

OMG, they cuss in hockey locker rooms?

Here is the highlights of EPISODE 1 if anyone hasn't seen it yet.
I took the time to edit it, give it a watch...

I loved it, HBO did an amazing job it made me actually like 2 of my least favorite teams. I have always like Bylsma, but I didn't realize how cool he is. Cant wait for the next one.

I feel the same way, I dislike both teams but being so close to them by seeing behinds the scenes footage really started making me feel the depressing losing streak washington had, as well as the sweet sweet winning streak pittsburgh had.

I wouldn't say I like Bylsma though. I was wearing a Muskegon Cheifs (local pee-wee hockey club here) hoodie while getting some apple cider at a local shop in Spring Lake when the lady at the counter said, "oh Muskegon Cheifs, eh? you've probably heard of my son then? I was like oh who is that? She replies Danny Bylsma... and I was like, "oh sure.." with a big smirk. Then she is like, "still bitter after he won the cup I see?" I got my apple cider and got the hell out of there.

Dan Bylsma's mom talking trash. Man I hate Pittsburgh... the dude is a shameful traitor all things Michigan!

After playing hockey and being on a college coaching staff, you use a lot of F-Bombs. It's a passionate game full of emotions.

In high school one of our assistant coaches said "f***en" in the locker room between periods and some *** on our team told his parents and they got the guy fired.

He was cool too.

I absolutely love this miniseries.

The ***, or the coach?

You must still be in high school

wings behind the scenes now would be boring

I would be scared. I'm sure Babs isn't the happiest camper right now.

[mindfly]

I would have loved if HBO did a show like this featuring wings and hawks, that would have been something else...
