@@AlexandrawOfficial_LexiIts pretty funny how USA is seen as the good guys despite being responsible for most wars since ww2. Or its not funny actually.
Does anyone remember A commercial with brendan shanahan. When asked by an offscreen voice Brandon, I hear your so tough.You'd even check your own mother. Is Shanna hen replies.Yeah , but I keep my elbows down. Am I imagining this I do remember it from years ago
There was an espn commercial which started out with Rangers goalie Mike Richter in net stopping everything that was shot at him. Then he skates away from his net when one more puck was shot on goal. But it doesn't go in. We see that there was plexiglass covering the goal. As soon as the puck bounces off of the plexiglass Richter skates back over to the goal and wipes off the mark left by the puck. Richter was my guy and I loved that commercial.
I used to work for ESPN in the HQ, they DO film those commercials IN the OFFICE, they are super funny to watch but they basically take a whole day to film and no one does work that day because 80% of the floor is blocked off so no one goes to talk to the players
All of thesse adverts were great, but my favourite has to be the Swedish twins one. Having the Sedins tell each other about picking up a few bucks was always the killer. "I got a couple loonies..." "I got a toonie..." "Oh, cool!"
we had 1 in Quebec a few years back featuring Yvon Lambert and he had to do it in both french and english and when it came time to say ' At Dorion suits there are no Hassles' lets just say Yvon skipped the H in Hassles as a lot of french speaking do when speaking english, well that english commercial wasnt aired for too long but it was funny as hell.
This era had so many memorable ads, Sportcenter in the States did these with all major sport Leagues. Terry Tate was the best I believe those where Reebok.
growing up near Boston, my favorites were local ones where the original bear (now Blades) would walk the concourse and interact with fans. the best was a kid in a B’s sweater took his date in a Hab sweater…so after a look of confusion and disappointment, the bear knocked the kids nachos and pulled the sweater up, beating the snot out of him! 🤣
Agreed, most of these could not be made today. But All of these ESPN Sports Center commercials were the best. I know it's not a hockey related one but Arnold Palmer in the lunch room making an Arnold Palmer was the best one.
A good one was the Keith Tkachuk "Power Forward" where he's trying to open the car door for the hot chick who locked the keys in her car. First he's using a coat hanger then gets frustrated and elbows the window out. As good as that run of hockey ads were the original Lite Beer commercials from the early 70's were very good also. My favorite was the one where Bob Uecker has the guys at the local pup convinced that he's Whitey Ford.
I miss pre-covid NHL.... no ads on the jerseys or helmets, no god-awful electronic boards that are distracting as hell... and selfishly my sharks were actually good lol..
The "It's harder than you think" and the "(insert sport) would be better if it were like hockey" sets of commercials. There was one other one (a beer commercial I think) about hockey players not needing to be in shape featuring a *massive* dude playing goal that basically just plugged the entire net. Oh and not to forget the "Hockey Town" commercials with the 4 idiots.
My favourite was the Ovechkin being the spy, followed closely by the road trip stuff. I get that from a branding standpoint it can be a little 'kiddish' and it feels like that's the opposite of what the NHL wants, but, like you, I'd love to see a return to a league that pokes a little fun and shows personality.
Also that shit worked on me, speaking as someone who was a kid at the time. People complain about the all star skills competition basically being a prop/goof-off contest, but I liked that.
I fully agree! The quizzes the NHL channel does a few times a year is cool but not enough and alot of the guys there has name value but doesn't seem to care. Get some 4th liners on there if they can joke around a bit, much better than for example Tavares going -__-
I know its newer than these and not an NHL commercial, but we still quote the ovi pizza is here commercial all the time. My daughter just said it today. 😂
I like the Federov Nike commercials with the disgruntled goalies he ousted out of the league into new jobs, like custodian & fast food cashiers. The Ovi spy is top notch though.
My favorites got to be the series of ads with all of the goalies that couldn’t stop Fedorov. And then the series with the bumbling coach, that’s gotta be a close second. “That’s why we need 100% of you guys giving 110% 100% of the time. Imagine if 80% are giving 100%, and 10% are giving 50%,….” “Well, we just couldn’t put it away tonight. We couldn’t put the biscuit in the basket, couldn’t put the car in the garage. We couldn’t put the bread in the oven…”
I dont know if anyone remembers the Nike skate commercials in the late 90s/early 2000s. The goalies would be walking the streets randomly trying to make "kick saves" because they are crazy because they couldnt stop fedorov (I think?) Was there a hockey element to the Bud light penguin "doobie doobie doo" campaign?
I've been trying to find it for years, does anyone know the name of the song in the Swedish Twins commercial? I'm sure it's a royalty free song they found, but I've been wanting to find the full song since that commercial aired lol
Gretz and Messier playing chess. After clear, deep thought, 99 puts Messier's queen in check. Messier knocks every piece off the board. "Oops, I slipped." Can't remember if it was an ESPN commercial, but I'm still tempted every time I'm losing at chess (which is every time).
Ovechkin is one of the funniest NHL players of all time, and there is 0 debate. Even with his connections to not-so-great people, we should be focusing on their personalities and the sport. As a wise man once said "the [NHL] wants you to act like robot, celly like robot, be robot".
The NHL today has a lot of stars that can make entertaining ads like these back in the 2000 like Jack Hughes, Trevor Zegras, Cole Caufield, Matthew and Brady Tkachuk, Mitch Marner, David Pastrňák, and Nikita Kucherov while drunk, but if McDavid is in it with them he will ruin it
The NHL Network commercials with the coach using coach-speak to his team are priceless: th-cam.com/video/Pz3KpY5lrRc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=OnFrozenBlog But the commercial that I wish they would play all the time is this one ("Cup Raise"): th-cam.com/video/NYwA9s-hjMs/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=NHL
Fell in love with the sport....by watching it. Yep, sums up today's media. Also love the generation that ruins everything, complaining about how something got ruined.
It'd be dope to get this kinda personality back in the NHL. But given how the All-Star game and Skill competition went last season, the League's top players may be TOO media trained to capture the same atmosphere these did.

The Ovechkin being a spy bit is still my most favourite one they did!
It's hilarious!
It was Samsonov above the ceiling tiles IN FULL GEAR that killed me.
I 'm 99% sure that's Varlamov
@@trinityjost6564 You're 100% right. Brain fart.
Not a bit
@@trinityjost6564 Caps fan here. It's Varlamov. IIRC, he was the starting GK for The Caps at the time.
Back when Ovi had so much energy, felt like he would have energy for an eternity.
Kind of hard to keep that energy and enthusiasm when you’re made out to be a villain because of current geopolitics
@@Koz4concern north amerikans dont get that sadly
yet theyve been actual villains for generations
Back when people weren’t sensitive

@@rymo4982 "OOooow... YOU HURT MY FEELZINGS.. I'm CANCEL CULTURING you!"
I don't think anything beats the Swedish twins....that was hysterical...watching the Sedin's trying to dance
Does anyone remember
A commercial with brendan shanahan.
When asked by an offscreen voice Brandon, I hear your so tough.You'd even check your own mother.
Is Shanna hen replies.Yeah , but I keep my elbows down.
Am I imagining this I do remember it from years ago
I want to see the “History will be made” commercials return!
YES!
Those commercials would give me goosebumps.
What if Marner didn't fall asleep every April ? History will be made.
'No Words' is my favorite.
Crosby with an A on his jersey is the most insane thing on there.
He only had it for one year, I was fortunate to get a signed Crosby jersey with an A on it!
1:14 - *Almost didn't recognize Jumbo Joe without his massive beard. lol*
Ha! Holy Crap. I was trying to figure out who that was.
There was an espn commercial which started out with Rangers goalie Mike Richter in net stopping everything that was shot at him. Then he skates away from his net when one more puck was shot on goal. But it doesn't go in. We see that there was plexiglass covering the goal.

You brought back the Ovi spy commercial I remembered instantly. Prob my fav. The fake laugh then Ovi going serious again was so funny.
The one with Ovi and Varly as Russian spies is my all time favorite.
The hotel commercial was fantastic. But yes the History Will Be Made and Because Its the Cup were absolutely the best
I love going back watching the hockey ads 😂. My Favroute is The goalie gear ad with Vassy. Always funny when it cuts back to him in full gear.😂
Ugh. This was the worst. The NHL was trying so hard to be cool. So glad this era of cringe All-Star costumes and personality marketing is behind us.
@@Borodin410you can just say you’re boring
The OVY with the big boss for chips... the commercial with the All-Stars... these ones were the absolute GOAT publicities outside the hockey itself...
Watching hockey on Versus in 2008 just hit different.
I used to work for ESPN in the HQ, they DO film those commercials IN the OFFICE, they are super funny to watch but they basically take a whole day to film and no one does work that day because 80% of the floor is blocked off so no one goes to talk to the players
Neat!

"I got a couple loonies..." "I got a toonie..." "Oh, cool!"
I want to see more Discover Stanley Cup ads. The one with Tim Thomas always got me 🤣
god i loved these commercials
we had 1 in Quebec a few years back featuring Yvon Lambert and he had to do it in both french and english and when it came time to say ' At Dorion suits there are no Hassles' lets just say Yvon skipped the H in Hassles as a lot of french speaking do when speaking english, well that english commercial wasnt aired for too long but it was funny as hell.
My fav is the french canadian goalie working different jobs in full gear
His taxi driving skills were Vezina worthy
Cutting his lawn in goalie gear while complaining about Mats Sundin! "I never knew what he was going to do! Glove side! Stick side!"
@@bryanderksen4448 Ah! A Maple leaf!
“Oveckhin” -Young Crosby
The mini goalie ad. Super heavy French accent was the kicker
My favorite was the learning of the Czech language with Jágr by Rangers
"Hey Peter, smrdíš jako prase!" followed up by immediate bodycheck to the wall
Brooooo!! Those were the days
These commercials, the MSG/NYR ones and of course the Legendary Bobby Granger commercials. Those were the days.
Early 2010s is when you feel in love with Hockey?????
Thanks for making me feel like an old ass man!
Love your content BTW.
I love how in every ad featuring any player in sports they just have to be in full uniform😂
Loved the Nike unemployed goalie ads from
Wayyyy back!
Some of the only ads I like
I always liked the one with Rick Nash raising the water cooler jug like it was the cup.
There was a commercial with Ryan Miller doing Your Mama jokes with an LA goalie. It may have been for Monster Energy drinks. That was my favorite.
My mom and I always reference the road trip commercial. “Whatcha doin?”
*muffled* “nuffin”
The old Bud Light commercial series of Hockey Falls. Those were gold commercials. Goodness bring those back.
Clement, Clement…..hands of cement……😂
This era had so many memorable ads, Sportcenter in the States did these with all major sport Leagues. Terry Tate was the best I believe those where Reebok.

The ESPN 'Kiss the Cup' ad from the '90s when they showed all the Rangers with cold sores was maybe their best work.
Agreed, most of these could not be made today. But All of these ESPN Sports Center commercials were the best. I know it's not a hockey related one but Arnold Palmer in the lunch room making an Arnold Palmer was the best one.
"Honey, why is Peter Forsberg in our bedroom?"
"Oh, he's just here to remind you that the season's started."
Loved those.
LOL or Crosby giving him the hot shower flush.
All of those ESPN ads from that era were awesome, NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL.
i forgot about that ovi ad... definitely one of the best...
The nike goalie ads were also pretty good as well as the NHL on Fox, paul kariya (i think) sharp shooting his peas at the next table.
A good one was the Keith Tkachuk "Power Forward" where he's trying to open the car door for the hot chick who locked the keys in her car. First he's using a coat hanger then gets frustrated and elbows the window out. As good as that run of hockey ads were the original Lite Beer commercials from the early 70's were very good also. My favorite was the one where Bob Uecker has the guys at the local pup convinced that he's Whitey Ford.
My favorites was the New Jersey Devils ESPN commercial in the elevator. My family considers it a classic.
Ovi is actually a good actor too for an athlete 😂
I love the humour , I hope we can once again laugh at these jokes as sister countries
My favourite was the one where Forsberg was in the guy's bed telling that the season started.
Having a slinky for a spine. Priceless. 🐐😂 #dominator
As a Caps fan, I can't help liking the "messing with Crosby" bit
I miss pre-covid NHL.... no ads on the jerseys or helmets, no god-awful electronic boards that are distracting as hell... and selfishly my sharks were actually good lol..
The "It's harder than you think" and the "(insert sport) would be better if it were like hockey" sets of commercials. There was one other one (a beer commercial I think) about hockey players not needing to be in shape featuring a *massive* dude playing goal that basically just plugged the entire net. Oh and not to forget the "Hockey Town" commercials with the 4 idiots.
These were the best commercials ever.
“Worst leafs on earth” was pretty awesome
Messier maniacally eating a bag of Lay's.
what a throwback frfr
They tried that at the All-Star game and competition a few years ago. It didn't go so well.
The Ryan miller amp energy ad was always my fav
Def the most fun era I've seen personally
Omg you unlocked a suppressed memory 😂
My favourite was the Ovechkin being the spy, followed closely by the road trip stuff.

No way. Ovis best commercial is hands down the school one for his ccm skate promotion.
As a Bruins fan, I’m so upset we never got the Pasta in the Box Dunkin ads anymore. They were so good :(
I miss NHL in 2000s
They should get those writer's for the all-Star game
I fully agree! The quizzes the NHL channel does a few times a year is cool but not enough and alot of the guys there has name value but doesn't seem to care. Get some 4th liners on there if they can joke around a bit, much better than for example Tavares going -__-
No way I just realized my fav Star Wars channel covers hockey
Remember the old Molson commercials? I am Canadian? The good old days
The McKenzie Brothers asking Guy LaFleur what his name means. "Must be something fierce, like a tiger or something, eh?"
"Actually, it means flower."
The Rob Ray commercial I still enjoy
The Simons/Bondra grocery store one was good.
I know its newer than these and not an NHL commercial, but we still quote the ovi pizza is here commercial all the time. My daughter just said it today. 😂
Make more of these

The NJ Devil Elevator one
Swedish Twins was pretty funny.
The corporate media frowns on humor
These are very funny.
I’m convinced Kovalchuk was actually a spy.
I dont know if anyone remembers the Nike skate commercials in the late 90s/early 2000s. The goalies would be walking the streets randomly trying to make "kick saves" because they are crazy because they couldnt stop fedorov (I think?)
Was there a hockey element to the Bud light penguin "doobie doobie doo" campaign?
Going back to the fun hockey ads would go a long way to helping the league. And not having golf as their All Star Week activity.
I've been trying to find it for years, does anyone know the name of the song in the Swedish Twins commercial? I'm sure it's a royalty free song they found, but I've been wanting to find the full song since that commercial aired lol
Wasn't there a 'let's see you do your job on ice' series?
Love this. ✌️
The hotel one is the best one
1990s hockey commercials>2000s hockey commercials
Gretz and Messier playing chess. After clear, deep thought, 99 puts Messier's queen in check. Messier knocks every piece off the board. "Oops, I slipped." Can't remember if it was an ESPN commercial, but I'm still tempted every time I'm losing at chess (which is every time).

Puck Personality is great, but they should do stuff like this too!
I have been trying to find the razor commercial with Sid and Ovi but I can never find it. Something about being half shaved in the airport
2024:
MacKinnon: Connor what are you doing in the file cabinet?
McDavid: 😐
MacKinnon: 😐
Fin.
Who is the player with the Wild jersey ?
Russian spy one was hilarious
