Hockey Night in Canada - 2008 intro

[KingMeteorStudios]

How come all the clips about losing seem to be of the Canucks?

(0:36, 1:14, 1:29)

[vanillafrapp73]

I need tissue damn it....I love hockey and I love being Canadian. 

[hockeydane9]

this gave me goosebumps

[rangersfan12ify]

that last sentence "the magic of the game survives" makes me so proud

[88Freefall]

I have always loved hockey more than anything... I broke my knee very badly. Not even in a game but when I was training. Doctors told me that I couldn't do any sports anymore.. I didn't listen and continued playing hockey. And it has given me so much. When I saw this video a tear fell down my cheek cos this is exactly what I think of hockey. It's not just a game but a journey. I'm not canadian but I think like one! :D

[CanadianGuitarist]

There's really three people who didn't like this?

[Gtheb12]

epic

[recobalegend20]

as a canadian, this video makes me beam with pride.

spine tingling. The greatest game on earth.

[juswise78]

I'm from the states and this makes me WISH we could get HNIC down here in Kentucky. Can't wait till the 2010-2011 season!

[hornschamps07]

@juswise78 You can watch it on the NHL network if you have that channel.

[profnc]

this vid gave me tears...

[hoilacobutla]

what's the name of the song???

[bxylq]

what is this song called?

[twister444]

The bruin player down on all fours at the net was #24 Terry O'Reilly

[twister444]

by the way.. just so you all know

that's HHOF ex Montreal Canadian great Canadian Senator Ken Dryden who is reading the narration.

[twister444]

For Canadians another long winter lies ahead,

A journey begins on a clean slate of ice.

It's a story as old as a nation itself;

It's a tale not written, not acted it is lived.

For some teams the story has been told a hundred times.... For others so painfully close but the summit never reached....

Every year the ice freezes, every year a new opportunity.

Tonight that tradition continues, a season has begun.

[twister444]

For veterans it is a chance for glory, glory they have yet to achieve.

For the young stars a chance to make their mark.

And for everyone a chance to play a game.

A game that brings so much joy, yet so much sorrow.

Hockey is a simple game, you pass the puck, you shoot the puck, you save the puck.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose,

but always the magic of the game survives.

[stronghill]

Yo Kaiser Killer, it's Jonny Bower

[kanervatie]

The violin music, the tellers voice, the story..I lolled.

[jukka871]

Really good video - I'm not canadian but I love hockey.

[KaiserKiller]

Can someone tell me who the old-school goalie is for the Leafs at that makes the save at 1:25 with his face?

[fats1138]

johnny bower

[Canadianman28]

GO LEAFS GO!!!!!

[fuzzmaster]

What a brutal save at 1:25 !!!

[BramOtown]

GO SENS GOOO! SILVER SEVEN MOFO!!

[Jovocaine]

Came within a goal but it wasn't to be. :(

[CanadaguyRudey]

GO LEAFS GO

Lmao

[canadianMTL]

for some teams the story has been told 100 times. wat some teams. theres only one team. GO HABS GO

[recobalegend20]

was lookin for this clip forever. hockey is the greatest game of all.

[Kal1938El]

I love this game.

[BramOtown]

simply cuz he comes back from a broken jaw 3 days after it happens, jst straps on a extra cage n is ready to go... havent seen that happen before... he played through 2 MCL injuries in the same year (when the team was loosing including the playoffs, to be a apart of his teams pain of getting swept in the first round when his team started 15-2) hmmm wat else... oh and did i mention he was drafted 133rd overall... show his desire... n im lazy as fuck, but theirs much moer... i think dats enuff

[BramOtown]

1:01 - 1:04 i really hope that happens alfie is the best captain ever, he deserves the cup...

[a2thegoodwin]

wait a minute alfie is a good captain but how can you say he is the best ever?

[BramOtown]

hockey night in canada.. knows how to cover our game.. i hate how nbc make it like football or basketball theme... they are ruining this game and how it is looked at.. Hockey should just stay in Canada fuck America

[123calisshit123]

"every year the ice freezes, every year a new oppurtunity" I like the irony of putting Carey Price in that frame. He's had a good season and a bad season, next year will come a new oppurtunity where he can redeem himself or show everyone his first year was only beginers luck.

[dk61]

awesome

[dp1011]

1:25 That had to hurt

[elfishgrin]

Its sad that Linden never once won the cup, brings tears to my eyes that such a great player, such a great leader, such a great community role model does not get the glory of winning the cup and getting his mark made for it to last an eternity :(

[5valencia]

I AM CANADIAN!

[tml4life07]

cool

[airwolf1023]

Nice vid. Now all we have to do is ban Visors. Go Buffalo!, Go Calgary!

[friskie1986]

Ban visors? What?

[SirGomezAdams]

Thank you, Don Cherry. Do you even pause to think before posting such lame comments?

[GarageDoorMan55]

that was very moving

[Conn8622]

My game

[Habs25]

Marvellous...

Glory to the Habs.

[SinNMega]

ya, it's going to be glorious when they miss the playoffs.

[Habs25]

Perhaps you won't be there telling me you were wrong in two weeks...

[adamjoker]

all i have to say is wow

[Bigt252002]

Goosebumps, simply goosebumps

[habs267]

Hockey forever.

[goleafsgo02]

so beautiful.

[hassounhadi]

this intro makes me breath and feel hockey.

[Poliwrath250]

Some of the moments have to be disheartining. The Linden attempt for his Hat Trick in game 7, the Boston Player with his face on the Ice as the Flyers win, and Luongo collapseing in his net when Anahiem won the series.

[TheMcDeal]

those moments are all so disheartning

[WildWolfdog]

This is awesome - I have to say, CBC intros never disappoint, especially the ones they make for the playoffs.

[shadowchaos88]

this video is so touching i love it!

[TNA10]

such a good opening for the season

[charlie0071]

Thank you for posting this video, I've been wanting to watch it again ever since it first aired.
