MissyLKS8 6 Report post Posted March 21, 2009 I waste a lot of time on YouTube looking at stuff that gets me nowhere in life such as Wings related junk. I normally don't waste my time watching "tributes" since they normally aren't that great and are poorly done; I was recommended on my homepage for a Yzerman tribute. Hesitant to click (for I believe nothing will ever be greater than the retirement video they did for him), I decided to watch it and give it a try. Maybe it's the fact one of my favorite songs of the 90s was used, or that I can't dislike something dedicated to Yzerman but it pulled some emotions out. It shows a lot of old players and starts with the "struggles" Yzerman and the team had until they finally won in 1997, then in 1998, and 2002. Shows the closeness of the team and just how excited they were along with some great plays. I don't know... I thought this was a well done video and I'd thought I'd share it with everyone. Favorite moments: -2:38 Celebrating Shanny's goal in 2002 -4:27 McCarty and Yzerman in the box looking serious to only break out laughing -4:37 Goal on Roy -4:53 Celebrating winning the cup in 2002 name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>&"> name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
titanium2 867 Report post Posted March 21, 2009 Yeah I agree. A lot of the amateur compilations on YT are a waste of time. The Yzerman one you posted was good. I don't know about the music though. I might just be from a different generation. Although I do find that many people don't particularly care for music choice when it comes to those videos. I like the video below in terms of a dedication to last year. The quality is kinda poor, but that's not completely the author's fault. YT seems to do that to a lot of videos. And again, the music isn't that good, but for what it's worth it is at least fast and intense, which is what I love about the sport of hockey. All in all it's a pretty good video and not as much of a waste of your time as something that looks like some 12 year old created while experimenting with Windows Movie Maker.

Yeah, as someone who come from a family of stagehands in the video production and broadcasting industry, I have become a bit of a perfectionist and extremely critical; I set high standards. I too would much prefer a video with great music in sync with video instead of a slide show of poorly cropped, blurry pictures with star-wipe transitions. As for the song feature in the video, I was a 90s generation kid and the grunge/alternative rock songs just reminds me of those times which coincidentally is the same decade they won two of the cups. It just adds the sentimental feeling, you know? Helps with nostalgia. I don't know your preference in music but if didn't see the Yzerman retirement video... it was AMAZING. I show people all the time. Not only is is fill with clips of memorable goals but it shows the impact he had on the city and the people. You see his leadership and his great character we all remember. They use two songs by U2, one being "Pride", my favorite. It's funny... back in 2001-2002, I went through a U2 phase and this, as you know, was the same season they won the cup. I later found out they are Yzerman's favorite band. Here's the retirement video. First time I watched it, I teared up. I still get chills to this day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I liked it! Good work. It was certainly epic. You didn't waste your time. Although, I wanna forget that press conference - I hated it. Man, and that was painful to watch when he chokes up. Also, I loved the choice of "Here's to the Night". Favorited! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
