NHL 24/7: Watch Rangers Celebrate Christmas with Awesome Ugly Sweater Party
HBO’s 24/7 Road to the Winter Classic has had a ton of memorable moments from its three episodes. However, last night’s New York Rangers’ “Ugly Sweater Christmas Party” has to be the highlight so far.
The video above is from Greg Wyshynski’s Puck Daddy Yahoo! hockey blog, and he gives a great breakdown of who is featured at the party.
"That's Brandon Dubinsky as Santa Dubi; Brian Boyle as Buddy the Elf (Who's Had a Few); Henrik Lundqvist with the light-up tie; Ryan Callahan with the leg lamp sweater and the funny jab at Sean Avery wearing sunglasses indoors; Michael Del Zotto with the lewd Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer sweater; and Ruslan Fedotenko with the shiner and the bear stitched to his sweater.

24/7 has been a showcase of different personalities both on and off the ice from Bryzgalov the philosopher to Girardi the family man. On the Flyers, goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov has had a number of instances that made us wonder what could be going through his head. One of his notable quotes compares his dog to a beautiful woman:
"Siberian Husky. She's all white. Beautiful blue eyes. That's basically blonde girl with blue eyes. Your dream, man. My husky, basically, she's a hot girl, man."
But, I think for all of Bryzgalov’s thoughts, seeing Boyle come up to Dubinsky as Santa and yell, “Santa! I know him!” probably is the highlight from the series so far.
We head into the final episode of the min-documentary next week.
With the Winter Classic coming up on Monday, Jan. 2, it will be interesting to see what players stand out with more interesting quotes or show their "real" side with their families.
Even though the players can watch each episode as they film the next one, let’s hope that the colorful characters on the Rangers and Flyers give us their best performance of the season for the finale.
