glad to see they brought back the "spell your name" commercial

He had 16 more points in the regular season than the next guy on the team

Also had 322 points in 410 games after the SC run. So hardly hanging on for a ring...

Shhh... facts have no place in a discussion like this.

It just occurred to me that Gretzky and Yzerman both say zee instead of zed. Traitors.

I listened for this when I was watching the last Jets game and the Canadian broadcast has 'zed' in it.

Why does whoever it is 0:37 make that weird face?

That's Phil Esposito and that's just his personality... Seems like he wanted to add a little flourish after spelling his name as if to say "that's all there is too it".

 

[The Macho King]

Not a fan. Also screw having Bobby Hull on there.

 

[Shrimper]

Is better

Ah I mute the commercials so I guess I missed that. Well played NHL, you've foreseen my petty complaints.

you'd think he is your girlfriend, considering how mad you are about me saying this

he is not a recognizable face around the league especially with newer fans, most people didn't know that was him in the commercial

he is not in the league of the other players in the commercial, and he did not have a memorable cup run hence me saying he doesn't belong

If you think Selanne doesnt belong , you're not grasping the point of the commercial.

I think it's a shitty, low-effort idea for a commercial.

I think it's a pretty crummy commercial to be honest. You have all those hall of fame players and the best you can come up with is having them spell their own names? Why would you ever ask a hockey player to spell anything? Most of these guys wouldn't be able to spell their name correctly if it hadn't been sewn onto their sweaters for 20 years, especially factoring in age and concussion histories. The only thing that could save this ad is if Bobby Clarke asks a judge to use his name in a sentence, and then passes out.
