    I think it’s great. Only thing I’d change is the music

  2. DontTellMom420

    I think it’s got some major ea sports/video game vibes, either way I’m fucking stoked for the playoffs to begin

  3. mustangwwii

    Looks like something I’d see on Nickelodeon in 2011

  4. I like it! It gives that modern taste to a traditional game.

  5. justopolis-city

    I think this is awesome. A modern pop art editing style really works with the fast paced game

    This is how the league tries to attract new fans? 😂

    The flipping of players rushing was really cool tbh. I liked the big head too lol

    Altogether not bad. The tongue thing was a bit gross tho.

    The players flickering as they rushed across the blue line was pretty cool I thought

    This is pretty weird. I like the add of illustration effects but the overall video is a miss for me. The hands are bizarre. The Nhl feels completely out of touch lately, who ever is running marketing…idk what you’re doing lol

    Lol at the old farts in here screaming “this sucks!” as if it was made for them.

    I feel more uneasy than hyped… but I am a Leafs fan, so I guess the feeling’s accurate for the playoffs.

    It’s different and exciting. I love it. Anything to get away from the stuffiness of the usual NHL

  13. Top_Ad7068

    Looks like it’s made for everyone but hockey fans

    I liked the “we want the cup” one. Gave me goosebumps. This one is kinda bad. I managed to catch it live, partially and didn’t even know it was supposed to be a hype segment.

    Maybe this appeals to teenagers, but this didn’t fire me up at all.

    The NHL almost always nails their Stanley Cup playoff promos. They’re usually respectful and understated, and by being so, lend a gravity to the pursuit of Lord Stanley’s Cup.

    This completely misses the mark.

    Looks like it was made by someone who would buy a Fanatics jersey…

    This is what would happen if the gang in always sunny finally figured out how to use video editing software

    “Edit something that will pop off on TikTok”

    The producer probably.

    My 10 year-old daughter thought it was weird, so there’s that. She is a hockey player and probably knows more about the game than most American adults, though.

    Feels like I’m having a stroke. Way too much visual activity.

    Cool concept, nice work: but I think they need to dial back the transitions.
