NHL Revealed: A Season Like No Other

First of all I would like to apologize for not posting in over a month! It has been a crazy month, more to come on that later.

So this season the NHL decided to do a documentary series called NHL Revealed: A Season Like No Other. This follows players and teams that are part of the new Coors Light Stadium Series games and on their way to the Sochi Winter Olympics. The series was a seven episode series which I bought on iTunes for $1.99 and episode, I decided to save $1.00 an episode and not get the HD version. I would download an episode and watch it at the gym, each episode was about 60 minutes long.

I loved the series, mostly because I just love hockey. My only complaint is that my team, the San Jose Sharks, were not mentioned once. Even when they were recapping the Olympics and Joe Pavelski scored an important goal against Russia, I believe, his name wasn't mentioned. They showed his face but just said Team America scored and important goal. The fact that the Sharks weren't mentioned in this series bothers me a bit. Not just because they are my favorite team and I love everything about them but because the series is called NHL Revealed. Doesn't that imply that its about all of the NHL? Not just part of it? Maybe it was because the Sharks didn't participate in a Stadium Series game, but in that case shouldn't they have rename the show to something about the Stadium Series?

Anyways if you are a hockey fan I highly recommend watching this. It takes you into the lives of players you hate and you learn to not like them, but to hate them a little less.
