08:26 AM ET 09.14 | In the eyes of many, the Winter Classic will serve as a catalyst for bringing about a lockout's end. But the real pressure point in this argument comes much earlier, around the U.S. Thanksgiving Day holiday, which falls on Nov. 22. That's typically when HBO cameras are gearing up for anther season of the critically acclaimed documentary series 24/7. This year, HBO will follow the Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs as they prepare for the Jan. 1 contest. ... To produce four weeks of documentary footage for 24/7, training camps would have to be opened around the end of November -- just after the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. It's conceivable that HBO might settle for three episodes, but any less than that would ruin the format.

As pretty as lemieuxs goal was it all started at the face off in their own end. Gretz tells Mario "im gonna tie this guy up you slip in and steal the puck". Mario grabs the puck gretz takes off and the rest is hockey history. oh im sorry...was this thread about something i should give a **** about?
