Players from each of the 16 playoff-bound teams will appear in the 'My Stanley Cup' ads, which will debut during the April 8 NHL on NBC broadcast and will be shown throughout the United States and Canada, including primetime programming on NBC and cable networks.
...
With voiceover narration from actor Kiefer Sutherland of the television series "24", the first ad features Kariya, Lundqvist, Simon Gagne of the Philadelphia Flyers and Mike Grier of the Buffalo Sabres.  The second spot, voiced by actor and comedian Denis Leary of "Rescue Me", features St. Louis, Vincent Lecavalier and Brad Richards of the Lightning; Rod Brind'Amour of the Carolina Hurricanes; Ed Jovanovski of the Vancouver Canucks; Brendan Shanahan, Kris Draper and Henrik Zetterberg of the Detroit Red Wings; and Robert Esche of the Flyers. Howie Mandel, the host of NBC's "Deal or No Deal", also will lend his voice to the campaign.

Other NHL stars featured in the campaign include Rangers forward Jaromir Jagr, Flyers forward Peter Forsberg, Canucks forward Anson Carter and Red Wings defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom, among others.

Interesting and cool. I hope they show these ads on channels that don't already market to hockey fans - it'd be like preaching to the choir.

One question though. How would it look if the Canucks didn't make it to the playoffs even though Jovanovski will be featured in one of the ads?

I see they snubbed all of my boys.....
But they thought to use Kiefer Sutherland so I guess it will do.

Let me help here. It's something like "...Destiny...every team thinks it's theirs... blah, blah, blah.. but one team truly rises out of the cinderella slipper to claim what's been written in the heavens for them... (drums, trumpets, loud music)... they are the ones for whom the Cup is destined... more loud music..." Voiced over by some guy.

Does that help?
