Chronicling the highs and lows of each team every week for four weeks, 24/7 Penguins/Capitals will feature exclusive footage of players and management in the locker room, on the ice, and at leisure as they make their way through the 2010-2011 hockey season, and eagerly eye their January 1 showdown.

Opinion:  I think they should have won more Emmy Awards though! 27/7 was such a fantastic show and really brought hockey to a new level to all sports fans.  I'm sure that I would have watched no matter which teams were involved, however, am very happy that the Washington Capitals were selected. 

If you missed any of the four episodes of the fantastic HBO Series 24/7 Penguins/Capitals: Road to the NHL Winter Classic, then find a friend with HBO and borrow their couch for four hours tomorrow afternoon.
