BottleOfSmoke 5,965 Report post Posted September 26, 2013 I tried searching for the old thread but couldn't find it-mods please merge if appropriate. Anyway, it has begun... @AnsarKhanMLive: The HBO cameras have arrived to begin filming 24/7. They'll be here for 2 days, go to TOR Sat. And then return in mid-November.

Greatness=PavelDatsyuk 65 Report post Posted September 26, 2013 Are they coming now for the preview thing? I don't remember them filming early in the season other years Pretty sure they do this to let the players and staff get used to the cameras, I'm pretty sure I remember them doing this for all of them.

rrasco 1,312 Report post Posted September 26, 2013 It's no coincidence they showed up to film when Det/Tor are facing off back-to-back. Probably be the beginning of the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest L3T5G0W1NG5 Report post Posted September 27, 2013 IMO they should get a company like ABC, NBC, CBC, ESPN, etc. to make these preview shows - a broadcaster who knows something about sports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crashnburnluder 385 Report post Posted September 27, 2013 IMO they should get a company like ABC, NBC, CBC, ESPN, etc. to make these preview shows - a broadcaster who knows something about sports. I honestly think HBO does an incredible job of combining the sport of hockey and the way of life as a hockey player. They do it with class and make it extremely enjoyable and I haven't been this excited for any tv show Except maybe the finale of dexter, but that let me down...

skyphoenix 153 Report post Posted September 27, 2013 IMO they should get a company like ABC, NBC, CBC, ESPN, etc. to make these preview shows - a broadcaster who knows something about sports. The problem with that is they would have to edit a lot of the footage. With HBO, they don't have to censor anything. 2 Wingsfan72 and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) IMO they should get a company like ABC, NBC, CBC, ESPN, etc. to make these preview shows - a broadcaster who knows something about sports. whats wrong with HBO? The first thing HBO ever broadcast was a Paul Newman movie. Then they showed a live hockey game. Fun fact for you to chew on. Also, as mentioned above, the editing is an issue and none of those other channels would be able to handle it well. Not everyone gets or even has ACCESS to CBC. I wouldn't trust ESPN to cover a pee-wee hockey game. ABC doesn't have the rights. And an NBC special would be about the time Crosby was in the Winter Classic. I'll stick with HBO. They do the best docs, boxing, and sports news reports anyway. Edited September 27, 2013 by Wings_Dynasty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jusek 437 Report post Posted September 27, 2013 This will be the highlight of the season, and of course the Winter Classic itself. Can't wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HAHAHAHA +1. i laughed pretty hard. also, HBO has the budget and staff to make 24/7 great. other networks might but i agree with trusting HBO to do 24/7.. their shows are all very high production quality.

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted September 27, 2013 I wonder if they'll show Cleary smoking weed on the show? I know his eyes don't look like that from too much swimming. I think the one eye got goofy from his fight with Pronger. I also recall that Cleary is allergic to shaving cream. Too bad we don't have an enforcer who is also a part time barber. 1 GMRwings1983 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LAWings 160 Report post Posted September 28, 2013 Although it will be interesting to see what's going on in the Wings locker room, I have reservations about this reality TV. It tends to bring out the diva in the weak ones, messes with ones head, the constant cameras and attention...look what it did to Bryzgalov in Philly? Or Avery in NY. I think it was the final nail in the coffin for him. Looking at how some people get to being in front of cameras, I cringe at the thought of some of the Detroit 'mystique' being laid bare for all to see. I know Babs isn't thrilled with it because it can be a huge distraction, especially for the young guys. Listen to Howie and Smith's comments, these guys can't wait to get in front of the camera. No, I say concentrate on the game, do away with this MTV reality type manufactured drama. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, I say concentrate on the game, do away with this MTV reality type manufactured drama. Not too worried, these guys are used to media and reporters. It will be a bit more intimate and invasive but we have a pretty level-headed group and guys like Z, Pav and Alfie will be quick to reel anyone in if they get a big head. Can't wait to get an inside look at Babs & Co. in the locker room, and for a guy like Pavel to maybe, maybe finally get that big spotlight on him that he deserves. HD, proffessionally shot footage of him in practice and game action? Yes please. If they can capture his humour as well he'll be the star of the show. Should be some good storylines with Alfie vs. Ottawa, us against Leafs of course and just our move to the East. In what should be a fun season regardless, 24/7 is the icing that will make it even more memorable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
