“As intense as hockey is during the regular season, you take it up to the playoffs and it's just a whole other layer of intensity,” he said. “It would be great, obviously. The Stanley Cup playoffs are unique in all of sports.
“It would be pretty cool.”
The natural assumption is that no organization would ever grant such a high level of access for fear it might disrupt the chemistry at a make-or-break moment.
But it's worth remembering that many thought tight-lipped Capitals general manager George McPhee would never agree to the “24/7” idea. Collins himself heard that talk when the concept was first being discussed and members of the Capitals organization have since admitted they were worried about what his reaction would be to the proposal.
As it turns out, the concern was misplaced.
“I didn't have any hesitation agreeing to it,” McPhee told reporters in Washington on Thursday. “I would certainly do it again and I would recommend it to anyone else to do it. The most important thing here was getting exposure for this game. I think HBO loved it and they got turned on to something really neat with these hockey players and this sport.
“I think a lot of people in this country and around other countries if they didn't already like hockey have a better understanding and appreciation for it.”
Collins is confident others will be open to a similar project down the road.
“I've heard that there is kind of a traditional, sort of closed hockey culture that wouldn't necessarily embrace this,” he said. “But clearly George did. And he embraced it at a point in time when things weren't going quite as well as they typically have for the Caps.
“I think that provided an incredible opportunity for fans to see what really was a pretty interesting story arc.”
