Wing Across The Pond 196 Report post Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Quite a cool vid, but not been gripped by this years playoff promos. Don't think they quite grab the excitement for me. That being said, I was more excited than a kid at Christmas at the moment!Lets Go WingsEDIT: Embedded vid instead of linking Edited April 4, 2012 by Wing Across The Pond 3 55fan, ace76 and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MidMichSteve 1,115 Report post Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Thanks for posting this. They had one on the NHL Network today that featured only Datsyuk. It was great too. http://youtu.be/5XGmZ0BHDP8 Edited April 4, 2012 by MidMichSteve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sprsquirt7 45 Report post Posted April 4, 2012 The guys voice isn't that great but if you go with the overall feel of the ad I still love it. Especially with the personalization they've given teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrimsonFlame 424 Report post Posted April 4, 2012 I'm surprised they have an octopus being thrown in the video. Maybe it's a conspiracy to increase their funds through team and personal fines! 1 Ally reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wing Across The Pond 196 Report post Posted April 4, 2012 After his Carhartt ad, Mickey Redmond should do all Wings videos. He would be awesome saying all the lines in this advert. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted April 4, 2012 The guy's voice drives me nuts too. They need the Allstate guy with the deep, resonant voice. I love his voice. Still... this video rocks. I'm glad they got so many epic moments- Mac's goal, Vladdy, etc. The flying sea creature was a good add too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crashnburnluder 385 Report post Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Give me Jack Bauer! Sutherland's voice overs back in the 2002 cup finals were epic....

But they'd need to add several seconds since his voice was kind of drawn out and grand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rrasco 1,312 Report post Posted April 4, 2012 Sweet, had not seen this one yet. I liked the flying octopi too! It's a long shot, but I'm thinking maybe the NHL had a contest for the adverts and this kid or his production team won? That's the only logical reason I can come up with as to why they went with his voice. I think he sounds like the kid from 'Loose Change'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
