Edlerberry Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I'm watching the NBC feed of the Pens-Bruins game, which is by the way very entertaining. There's this commercial that comes up, and it shows all these tough plays and big time players looking tough. Between the sound effect boxing bells and the editing they give it the feel of each 'round' of the cup like a 'round' of a boxing match. Anyways, there are lots of teams shown, the Canucks are featured as: Kesler on his hands and knees as the announcer says "get up" Kesler on the bench Kesler posturing with a ref between him and the player he's yapping at Higgins looking TINY compared to Chara towering over him A player getting absolutely DESTROYED by Ference on the boards In general, compared to the other teams/players, it was kind of embarrassing. Subliminal "Canucks are pussies" messaging continues it seems by the NHL, whether deserved or not. Here's the commercial: What do you think?

Coconuts Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 You're looking into it too much, and our guys aren't the only ones shown in a light that could be deemed negative. It's a pretty harmless ad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple Juice Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 At least in my memory, the last time we actually threw a big hit in the playoffs never actually happened these past two seasons.. Only ones that come to mind is the Mitchell hit on Toews in 08, Edler hit on Doughty in 09, and Torres hit on Seabrook in 2011.. Other than that, none of our players have made any particular huge hit that is memorable unless I'm forgetting something EDIT: Rome hit on Horton is big but they probably don't wanna use that because it was a "suspension" EDIT 2: Now that I think of it, the most recent one that was clean was probably the Hamhuis hipcheck in 2011 on Douglas Murray..

apollo Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Its US TV. They feature our us born guys... they shouldn't be making us look good... id love it if the vice versa was done on our TV networks. I can't complain about sportsnet and tSn. They have a bias pro canuck feel in their ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 TSN does the same thing when they're discussing a player. They almost ALWAYS show player x scoring on Luongo or Schneider. It's some "Canucks suck" subliminal message deal they've got going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
