anyone else worried about the versus commercials

[WingMachine91 0]

so i just saw zetterberg in the versus commercials where the players talk about how the cup changes everything. the funny part is, every player that has done that commercial has seen his team get eliminated from the playoffs. first it was alferdson, then iginla, then brodoure, then thorton, and even ovechkin. now zetterberg is in it, lets hope he changes the current trend!

Well, teams have to get eliminated, that's the way the playoffs work. There would be kind of a problem if all those players were still in

It will take more than a VS commercial to eliminate the Wings.

Nah they had Bobby Luo in them... he didn't even make it in... the cup will never change everything for him.... he won't ever touch it

i saw that commercial here in Ohio in round one. so i don't think this commercial will have anything to do with the fate of the red wings.

It's not a very recent commercial as I've seen it before the playoffs started. Those other players just happen to be the best player on their respective but less superior teams and have therefore been knocked out of the playoffs. I looooooooove the Z commercial, it gives me chills.

ooo have to agree, great commercial. better than the others i think because the walk z talks about is probably the hardest part to a playoff game: SCENARIO: its game 7 of SCF.... when you get on the ice for warm up your relaxed, ready of the game, not thinking too much about the end of the game. During the game you're fine, just concentrating on getting the job done. But the walk at the beginning of the game.... thats where it would all get to you, all the emotions flowing through you. The ads about in game scenarios are pretty much like a normal game only probably a little tougher and require more determination, but its same players, same abilities. Just my view but the walk is the toughest...... in fact i dont even know why i just spent 10 mins writing this... get thats how much i like the advert : lol :

The Zetterberg commercial has been there since the start of the playoffs.

Nothing to worry about there.

Commercials during Stanley Cup playoffs mean a lot less than SuperBowl commercials, and when was the last time you saw a 2.5 million dollar SB commercial actually affect the game on the field?

This is SOOO not to worry about.... those endorsements happened a long time ago, relayively speaking. I guarantee the players involved care a lot less about it than we do (and THEY got paid!!!).

I want to make a parody commercial of this series of commercials... take one, a guy takes a stick in the crotch and goes down with a screech, holding the family jewels as he gasps for breath. Then it does a "re-take" and the same guy gets nailed in the crotch, and he just stands there, smiles, shrugs it off, and skates away. Then it cuts to a picture of a crotch cup and it says "So and so brand protection.... the cup changes everything!"

I know, it's horrible. Late night + alcohol makes for interesting musings.

actually, that was pretty clever.

I've been watching them for some time, and something that I think woulda been really cool, is if they made like 50 of them, and as teams got eliminated, they only continued to run the ones with players still going for the cup.

And on a side note, the ones I have seen for the NBA playoffs with 2 players and a split screen, are wicked too. I really, really like them.

I don't think the VS commercials will have much effect on the game outcomes.
