Previously on Whom You Know, Episode One of the Stadium Series was Highly Recommended:

It's hockey without winter!
Episode Four concludes this epic hit parade by Epix, and their ability to chronicle the NHL holistically from family skate to body check has even the East Coasters reveling at the California series.  Great hockey is great hockey after all, regardless of where it takes place.
Outdoor games have been among the most genius reinventions of the NHL in recent years, and what could be better than the California sunshine, the beach, surfing and the fastest game on earth?  Episode Four of the Stadium Series wraps up the game, which is reflective of LA's hot winning streak prior to the first faceoff outside and San Jose's challenges.

As with everything on EPIX, you can watch this episode at your total convenience.  EPIX is a celebration of modern television-watching with original streaming content available to you in partnership with the NHL; this is the second hit parade.  We also wrote on the Winter Classic between Washington and Chicago around New Year's...

Every aspect of the game is covered, and we liked seeing the uniform creation here - and if they were on the East Coast we surmise they'd be pressed at Hallak!  Note how big the numbers are-with 70,000 in the stands, this crowd is substantially larger than a typical indoor game and think about the people that are furthest away from the ice.  They want to see the numbers too.

If you are learning about hockey, the narration is clear, concise, direct and easy to follow we'd believe; if you are an expert you will be enthralled with the off-ice aspects like the family hockey skate.  Either way, the technology in the camera shots of this game we love is phenomenal to see and the evolution of the game the way it is seen today is something to be excited about!
We love the back and forth footage of the coaches in the locker rooms; you'd never see that in real time so that's extra incentive to see this episode.  If you hate when a great hockey game played outside is OVER as much as we do, you'll turn your frown upside down when you watch it again with an insider's view exclusively from EPIX!

The surging defending champion Kings meet their fiercest rivals, the now struggling San Jose Sharks, before a record crowd of over 70,000 at Levi's Stadium in the final installment of "Epix Presents The Road To The Stadium Series." The last episode brings fans behind the scenes with a look inside the preparations, from the uniforms to the sharpened skates all tuned for outdoor hockey on an idyllic night in Northern California. The stakes for the playoffs could not be higher as hockey California-style grabs the national headlines.
