"They are two groups of men who's very existence is defined by a game. A peculiar reality that began as a choice and became, irreversibly, a compulsion."
2019 - still gives me chills, every damn time. Would pay top dollar for this series on Blue Ray. Didn't give a rats ass about the Flyers before 2011, then I watched this series. Have been a die hard fan of them ever since.
For anyone who has played hockey or aactually live and breathes the game, whether or not they still play or gave up the dream. I gave it up and seeing this brings a tear to my eye. The most powerful and perfect documentary I have ever seen BY FAR! HBO thank you for this masterpiece... and could this JOhn Murphy piece playing in the background be any better of a fit?
"In hockey, their spirits grow intimate with the pain of frustration. Even as their wills become evermore possessed by the ecstasy of victory. If you let it, that's just the start of what the game can do to you."
Hands down best intro to anything I've ever seen

Now that is a pure of a documentary anyone will ever find. HBO knows hockey.
This series was one of the best sports documentaries ever aired, its a shame they stopped making them.
for those wondering. The song is adiago in d minor by the genius producer John Murphy
This HBO 1st road to winter classic series and this intro was MASTERFULLY done. Get goosebumps every time I watch this intro!!!
Most amazing thing I've ever seen

ApeHead this documentary had amazing writing.
I have it saved as an audiofile and saved to my Spotify. Listening to it everytime I walk to my practice or game.
Doing a documentary on a high school hockey team and now I have to use this soundtrack for the intro
Thanks mate!
2012 Seems like yesterday ???

Who are the players exiting the penalty box at 1:37???
This is HILARIOUS!!!
Is there some way you could upload full episodes?
It was gaborik and he actually bumped into prust.
prust and simmons, get out of box, scrap, get back in the box....
Lundquist strongly resembles Gianluigi Buffon in my opinion. Both goalies, brilliant goalies. In different sports, though.
I bleed Orange!!! Let's go FLYERS!!!
I wish they could have done this with the 2001 colorado team
Lilla Sked Holy shit that would have been amazing.
Alot of these players are retired now, apart from "jagr" of course 👍
