not bad, could have chosen less cliche music, but that's OLN for you.
I have no problem with the music. I like the promo overall, mostly because they thankfully used actual players in real highlights, instead of some ridiculous warrior story or a bunch of actors in generic uniforms in some dimly-lit rink.

"MY NHL" never included Johnny Cage

Actual NHL highlights in a promo? Is this a first?

No, the NHL on Fox had plenty of clips with real players and highlights. I remember ABC doing some with Roenick too, it's not like they never did anything like that before.

Johnny Cage was an actor, that's as far as I got.

As for the promo, I like it a lot. The quick cuts really make the game seem a lot faster opposed to most commercials which make it seem slower.

FOX's commercials were funny too. That was good commercial though. Better than the myStanley Cup One's

The music was a little cliche, but its used by alot of other sports as well so I guess if its not broke....etc. Overall it got me pumped for next season, but if I look at a hockey stick during the off season, i'm ready to go for next season. Cant WAIT :banghead:

it's Beethoven's 9th - it's a masterpiece and I for one LOVE the Promo. The VS logo doesn't even look that bad...

I can't believe people don't know who Johnny Cage is. Mortal Combat anyone?

1) I wouldn't consider "Ode to Joy" cliche (i.e. the piece from Beethoven's 9th in the commercial). I think using Standard Hard Rock Score #6 might have been a cliche.
2) Johnny Cage is an obscure reference.

Thought it was pretty good. Nice to see OLN/Versus putting a lot of effort into the hockey. I am very happy to see they are changing the name of the network, I think things are looking up for the NHL and Versus.
