We can’t unsee this image of Sidney Crosby passing the Stanley Cup to Alex Ovechkin

You’ve likely seen it by now if you’ve watched this year’s Stanley Cup Final.

The NHL created a commercial showing a star player of one championship team giving the Stanley Cup to a star of a different championship team. Entitled “Handoff,” the ad appears to try and honor the history of the game while adding more aura around the Stanley Cup – the oldest championship trophy in sports.

On paper, it’s a great idea. Unassailable even. But in execution, it just feels wrong. Well, at least to me, as a Capitals fan.

ESPN releases first commercial celebrating the return of the NHL to its network

ESPN is known for its fun and ridiculous sports commercials — Late Nite Filings, anyone? — but the network decided to take a different tack in its first campaign promoting the return of the NHL this season. The ad is entitled All for Hockey and it’s super serious.

“‘All for Hockey’ embraces the intersection of hockey and humanity, telling the story of the game of hockey from the perspective of a wide variety of fans,” the sports leader said in a press release. “ESPN worked with agency Fallon and director Michael Lawrence to capture that sentiment, focusing on creating real intimacy in each scene.”

Alex Ovechkin makes terrifying pizza delivery in backseat of car in latest Papa John’s commercial

Alex Ovechkin is back with a new commercial for Papa John’s. And it’s another classic.

According to Papa John’s commercials in the past, Ovi’s childhood dream was to be the best pizza delivery boy in the world, but, in his own words, “I was not good.”

He’d “forget the pizza” or throw pizza boxes onto the porch like a morning newspaper. In other instances, he’d place the pizza boxes on the roof of his car and drive away, leaving them sullied in the road.

Now, Ovi has a new ingenious way to deliver your precious pizza pies.
