Hey, remember that NHLPA video from a few weeks ago? You know the one: various star players looking into the camera, earnestly describing their love for the game and their frustration over the ongoing lockout? Let's be honest -- it was pretty darn effective.
Of course, not every player who auditioned made the cut. And a few of them took more than one take to get their message just right. The NHLPA kept the good stuff for the final product, and tossed the rest in the trash.
Luckily, Bloge and I happened to be hiding out nearby and were able to grab the out-take reel.

ReplyDeleteI was completely expecting Wellwood to jump out from behind the brick wall, but the way it was presented is much better.
