beachwing 426 Report post Posted March 23, 2012 Its the nature of fans to ***** and whine and second guess but after watching that spot, hopefully it drives home the point of how lucky we all are to have him wearing the winged wheel! 1 LidsFan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted March 23, 2012 It being about Datsyuk is what salvages this commercial. That man should be highlighted in all NHL marketing, I know a few non-hockey people who have started watching because they've seen clips of him on Youtube. They should really focus on 5 or 6 players and run commercials highlighting their special talents (dangling, hitting, goaltending, grinding) to showcase the best parts of the game and get people to start name-associating. 3 Rick D, Ally and LidsFan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SDavis35 140 Report post Posted March 23, 2012 it was posted already here I think Pavel is an easy player to love, and I almost forget that he was an underperformer in the playoffs early in his career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seraph 240 Report post Posted March 23, 2012 Apparently Pavel Datsyuk is in fact the Dark Knight... haha, very clearly inspired by this: ...because it's the cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
