Shorthanded Indeed
April 4th, 2008 by murph
The NHL just posted their playoff promo commercials to YouTube. There’s “Tighter” with Ryan Getzlaf, “City” with Roberto Luongo, and in a most unfortunate pairing of bad timing and bad wording…”Shorthanded” with Daniel Alfredsson.
Oops. Is anyone in the NHL Marketing Department an actual hockey fan?? Do they not get the NHL Network in the office? Did they not see this hit last night? None of the NHL suits thought it might be a good idea NOT to release that last commercial?
The Sens (if they make the playoffs) are going to be “shorthanded” for the first couple of weeks of the playoffs. Captain Alfredsson is expected to miss 1-2 weeks time between that hit and a knee injury also suffered last night.

shorthanded link goes to the “city” one too. Here it is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Kx-bzmyNNqQ
Also, why is Luongo talking about the playoffs? The ‘nuks didn’t even make it in. The NHL couldn’t find another goalie to do that commercial?
