It's a must-see for any hockey fan. You can get over the Crosby lovefest and the focus on the Ovi/Crosby rivalry because there are so many other aspects to the documentary that are so interesting for a fan to watch. HBO did a wonderful job and you can tell whoever is behind the production of this knows hockey and knows how to capture the game. HBO is really getting two different stories, with the Pens soaring and the Caps struggling...it's interesting for the viewers to see how the two teams react to their very different situations. Oh, and every other word said is some form of "fuck".
There's also a hilarious scene with the Penguins when they are in a hotel in Buffalo...don't want to spoil it but it's pretty funny.
I can't wait for the next episode... Makes me wish they did this kind of thing more often.

Talbot literally beat the crap out of Cookes kids on the ice because they cheap shotted him just like Cooke would. CLASSIC Talbot, very funny stuff.
Hahaha that part was funny. He was like, "Some kid speared me in the face...then I saw who it was and I was like, 'Oh, you're Cooke's kid...you play just like your father.'"
