From Multichannel News’ Mike Reynolds:
Although the cameras will certainly trail the faces of the league, Crosby and Ovechkin, [Ross] Greenburg said that with team sports, the squads take their leadership cues from the coaches, who become focal point for telecasts.
“[Capitals coach Bruce] Boudreau is Rex-like,” said Greenburg, alluding to New York Jets head man Rex Ryan, who became the star of the network’s Hard Knocks look at the team this past summer. “[Penguins coach Dan] Bylsma is more controlled. But off the ice, behind the- scenes, at team meetings, you’ll see a more flamboyant side.”
Road to the NHL Winter Classic will also premiere episodes on Wednesday Dec. 22 and 29 and Jan. 5 in the same time slot. The finale debuts four days after the Winter Classic, with cameras tracking all the same-day drama.
