Original Boys Of Winter Commercial

Somebody posted an old Penguins video (The Pensblog?) the other day, and I couldn’t get this out of my head. Happened to be moving stuff around on hard drives this morning and came across it.

Enjoy.

Came across two really well done and creative videos this past week.

The first is from Jewish website aish.com that asks, “What If Moses had Facebook”.  Lots of small little details hidden in there, and it’s a really fun watch.

The Penguins also have attracted the NHL’s largest average audience, at 101,000 homes per game, even though Pittsburgh is the league’s 22nd largest market.

New NHL Spot: Habs/Bruins

NHL with it’s second “about last night” commercial in two days.

This times it’s “History Stands Up To It’s Rivals” and features the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens.

Would have liked to seen the scoreboard video though, maybe tomorrow they post it.
