How can you do a celebration of the "Raising of the Cup" and not have a Montreal Canadiens moment. Not very historical. But I guess it catches the excitement that they are trying to spread.
Even if the Pens don't win the cup (and i'm a huge Pens fan!!), I'll still love this commercial, because I love the game of hockey and this 35 second spot is a love letter to the game. GO PENS!!!!
im a die hard pens fan and its not lookin to good 4 us i think both teams deserve the cup but its all coming down to the hardest sk8ing team and who gets rebounds
Same here. Probably one of the only reasons I want the Pens to win at least one game, so we get the cup at the Joe, but, Osgood's shutout is just too good to let end.
I think that the cup would get a better welcome in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh really loves their penguins. However, the chances of that happening now are rather slim.
Too bad they are putting the world to sleep with their uninspired, dull, brutally effective and efficient play. There is no doubt that this team is one for the ages but it sure isn't good for the game. Think about it, why are the Pistons outdrawing the Wings this year? The Wings are hands down the best team in their league while the Pistons weren't even the best in their division. It has to do with style and the Pistons are a reflection of their community while the Wings put people to sleep.
Its our own NHL fans who put down great teams like the Wings is whats really killing this sport. Fucking jump off a cliff, defense wins championships.
well i have to agree if your a penguins fan the series hasnt started...its seems they forgot to show up for the first 2 games. =P I think they will win at least 1 at home though. These series isnt over by any means.
Everytime I see this commercial, I just drop everything and watch. It shows the goal of every hockey player and was very well made. Kudos to the NHL and production team
it was a good commercial, i'll give it that.. but touching? I think we need to find us something better to worship than a cup, which is only an object. I mean hockey is just a game like any other, made to have fun and the cup is just an item u get for winning. Did it take a lot of hard work to get there? yes it did! but everything in life takes all u got. wether it be a promotion at work or raising a child. Point is, i don't think we should be celebrating something so simple and materialistic
I understand you're a Pens fan, but if any European is going to do it, I would put my money on Nicklas Lidstrom. The fact that no European captain can ever do it is, in my opinion, a bit of a myth. It's bound to happen with this influx of Europeans coming in since the 80s.
I think it's been pure coincidence that only North American captains (namely Canadian captains) have been able to lead their teams. Just 'cause Stevie Y left means the Wings can't win anymore? I didn't think so.
and then the sadness of the other team. even though it is not shown it's the next thing that springs in to my mind as 'my team' has never had that joy, but yet has come so close. I guess there is always next year.)
wow. an nhl commerical that is touching and dare i say.. creative??? first, two exciting teams in the finals and now this? i think hell just got a lot colder.
Great spot! Even though my Flyers haven't won it since I was a year old (and sadly I have no recollection of that glorious event), I always make a point of watching the Cup presentation. No matter which team wins, it always gives me chills.
As awesome as I think this video is ... I find it hilarious the first shot is of the Leafs getting the Cup ... lol ... Talk about footage never to be seen again
I feel as though this commercial hypnotized me. I have this sudden urge to head on over to the hall of hall and read every single warriors name that is stamped on LORD STANLEY. Anyone else feel this way?
On another note...pens better win this year...cuz the day of a dynasty nhl team is long gone...damn cap!

I agree with you completely that the day of the dynasty is over because of the cap. But, hell...Without the cap, the Penguins would be sitting in last like they were prior to their two recent playoff appearances. However, the pens are going to take this one. They have come too far and have played to well. Pens in 6
I just mentioned the cap cause I kinda miss the old school hockey, when guys would play their whole career or most of it, on one team. But I must admit the cap is a positive thing for the league. Sure I like the Pens, but they are not my favourite team...so to conclude I say I still miss the cap regardless if pens would finish last or not.
Dont worry hommie, Pens have my support cause I hate the Red Wings with a fiery passion!!
Just brings CHILLS!!! How many messages like this are delivered without one word being spoken. The NHL needs to buy time on major networks just to run the hell out of this. Best of luck to Sid the Kid being next. Someday it would be FANGTASTIC watching it raised in Nashville.
"One day in the future, the Leafs will get to hoist that Cup."
I hope so too...but it'll be a while perhaps:-(
Meh, I'm a hockey fan in general, I can wait; & like I said earlier, no matter who wins I ALWAYS make sure to watch the Cup presentation, it's the best tradition in sports today:-D

If only it had a good line at the end. What the hell does "except when you're lifting it" mean?
Does it feel heavy? Does it feel light? How does it seem like it is not 35 pounds?
A more traditional "...but it takes a team to lift" would have been just about right.
