After three weeks of the entertaining, all access series, the final episode of ‘24/7 aired on Sunday.
This very well may have been the strongest episode of the brief season as it featured a number of notable moments including a candid interview with recently departed Maple Leaf defencemen John-Michael Liles shortly after he received the news that he had been dealt to Carolina, a look inside the apartment that Phil Kessel and roommate Tyler Bozak share and, of course, the the long-awaited Winter Classic.
Three weeks in and the show is still appointment viewing for many.
Planned on sleeping early tonight but @HBO 24/7 is on! #cantmissthat

In what may have been the highlight of the entire episode, Kessel and Bozak took the HBO crew inside their apartment and gave them a glimpse of what their life is like off of the ice. Spoiler alert: they watch a lot of TV.
Might have to start hanging out a Marble Slab so me and @PKessel81 can become best friends and I can laugh at him cause he's hilarious #24/7

Bumming hard that this is the last 24/7 episode. The @Bozie42 and @PKessel81 bromance was a great way to end though. #TMLtalk
