Bracket 2: Canuck Commercials

July 28th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized

Mats Sundin and Wayne Gretzky’s commercial with McDonald’s has secured Bracket 1 and will be moving on to the semi-finals! Thanks to all who voted.

Bracket Two is here, and it features some of the Canucks’ best commercials:

1. The Sedin twins appear in their first of hopefully many commercials. Not only are they talented on the ice but they’re a pretty good dancing duo. This commercial was filmed for the NHL Network’s myNHL.

2. One of the Canucks’ first commercials with Nike-Bauer focusing on one player, Markus Naslund broke the barriers for the team as he teamed up with Atlanta Thrashers forward Ilya Kovalchuk in an advertisement for Nike.

3. Markus Naslund’s air time didn’t end there, as the summer after he joined up with Calgary’s superstar Jarome Iginla to promote Nike’s “Ready for Your :45?” campaign. The commercial gives new meaning to the word “Snipeshow”.

4. In an ad not shown on television, Roberto Luongo does a brief 15-second commercial for NHL.com. Here, he learns how to tackle the opposing player in a shootout with some help from a fan.

5. Sportsnet teamed up with Roberto Luongo last summer to do a nice and clever spot showing that “Perfection Matters”. It was a commercial for Sportsnet’s “Hockey That Matters” promotion that was a big hit with local fans.

Go out and vote!

    This one was tough, it was between the Sedins and Nazzy vs Kovalchuk. I had to go with the latter.

    And god damn those Swedish twins are dorks haha

    In the Naslund & Kovalchuk one, at 0:36sec, Naslund falls on his face, just thought I’d share that with everyone
