HBO Parts 1 & 2 Discussion - *SPOILERS* All 24/7 Talk Here

[Ari91]

Because they agreed to it and are getting compensated for it.
Its been the same way with the other 24/7 series' and is the same with their NFL hard Knocks
It's only 4 episodes, they can't feature everyone. They decide to focus on a select few, and leave the others in the background.

I'd rather a mix bag look at more guys than just one guy. I get if you land on a personality like Bryz which makes for great TV but otherwise, I'd rather watch more locker room stuff or mic'd up conversations on the ice than watch that kind of segment with Lupul. Maybe it's just my preference but I see a lot more substance in seeing a guy interact with his wife and children or a guy going home and recreating childhood memories with his families or watching a guy visit his family when he's in town playing a road game against his favourite team as a child rather than watch a guy shopping in NYC. I get how the whole set up works, doesn't mean that I have to like everything about it.

Kadri doesn't know what complacency means.

Wow.

Fairly common word, perhaps it was the context of the question that threw NK off.

 

[Sonofamitch]

Anyone else surprised with no Bolland in any episodes. I mean they still did an interview with Bozak while he was hurt. Feels like he's not even on the team.

 

[rdogg]

Kadri doesn't know what complacency means.

Wow.

I'm thinking Kadri wasn't paying full attention to the coach's speech, and was caught a little off guard when he got put on the spot all of a sudden. Either way it was really funny though, and I liked how all the guys laughed at his afterwards too

Bozak was still around the practice facility working out in the gym. I don't think Bolland is even at the stage. Kind of makes sense.

 

[mcleex]

Why is Kadri always the one that gets picked on by the coaches with random questions LOL

Also lol @ how Clarkson was going off about a waterbottle

And that exchange between Miller and Martin was hilarious. But seriously he needs to dye his hair

 

[LeafsMonster]

I know

 

[Riellyfan04]

funniest part is the Dekeysers part LOL

Dekeysers sister"nice game"
Dekeysers "you too"

Lmfaooo cracked up

 

[Kurtz]

Anyone else somewhat uncomfortable with Carlyle's nickname for Kadri?

 

[DaveT83*]

Cronin is kind of a scary dude.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

Anyone else somewhat uncomfortable with Carlyle's nickname for Kadri?

Nazi? LOL

 

[Stephen]

Watching the segment with JVR and his rich family at the country club was kind of weird. Not quite the story of the kid who grew up on the pond kind of story...

 

[wulfio*]

Anyone else somewhat uncomfortable with Carlyle's nickname for Kadri?

I imagine only if people take themselves too seriously.

 

[leafstilldeath*]

Nazi? LOL

Ouch! I think Carlyle meant

Nazzy

More interesting question is whether Carlyle is getting a red wine for a christmas present?

I'm more surprised at not a peep on Kulemin, he's only the longest serving Leaf. Even if they can't do a long interview with him, a tiny little feature would have been nice. I mean, Krusty's first season with Detroit, we get Krusty in Motown, a 21st Century Krusty Christmas and probably a Krusty Bar Mitzvah in ep4.

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Kadri: "Friend?"
*everyone starts laughing at him*
Carlyle: "WRONG ****ING ANSWER!"

Had me dying laughing

 

[HellasLEAF]

was there more Kessel in this episode??

I'd like more Kessel. I'll be watching later tonight..

Bolland was in the room after the Chicago victory; but yeah I don't think he's skating?

 

[The Wall]

Clarkson and Bertuzzi arguing about the water bottle had me rolling.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Clarkson and Bertuzzi arguing about the water bottle had me rolling.

especially because, Clarkson was so intense about it. it wasn't even like "you're a [badword here] about it." but "you hit his waterbottle dude! It's OUR WATERBOTTLE."

but i' like a guy who is that intense about it. it's sort of like when he said he beat someone up and asked why, and Clarkson said "I didn't like the way he was looking at me." or something to that extent.

Yea I always wondered who Kulimen hung out with after Grabo and Komorov moved on. He doesn't speak English well must be hard to make friends in the locker room.

I saw a couple of interviews with him the last couple of years, and he seems to speak the language just fine. Better than Grabo.

 

[EscapeGoat]

deleted.

 

[Raym11]

hey if anyone could PM me a link to where i could download/watch the episodes that have aired that would be sick. unfortunately i've barely caught much of it. Missed 15 mins of 1st episode, half of 2nd and 3rd entirely

Clarkson squished on the subway was so fake, there were 2 empty seats right beside him. Still funny though

I've learned I can't stand the sound of Babcock's voice

Have you ever ridden on transit before?

Two people or 1 person was probably occupying the two free seats and left.

People don't necessarily move into open seats if they already have one.
