1999 Mario "...and one save" commercial

[connor35]

I can't find a copy of this anywhere, not YouTube or anywhere else.

But it was the coolest commercial ever.

Anyone have a copy?

You know the one, skates on the ice, narrator slowly reads off Mario's stats.
Camera pans out from skates to all of Mario.
He takes a slapper, camera follows the puck.
GLOVED by a goalie. And the goalie removes his mask as the narrator says "And one save."

Rare post for a rare commercial.

Respect.

A little doc about the making of that commercial. The commercial itself is at the very end.

Seems a little cheesy, now. But sure brings back some memories.

I never saw that commercial, then again I never lived in Pittsburgh.

Thank you!

I don't know why my Youtube search didn't produce this but I sincerely appreciate the help.

Hey while we're here...

I have a recollection of a promo song for the Pens back in the 80s (when I was growing up in PGH) that had the words "Pittsburgh Penguins play power hockey/That's the name of the game"

Anyone else? I have never been able to track it down via Google/YT.

This one I have never heard before, so I'd be interested in hearing it if anyone found it.

Heck, take it to the arena and see if the players get inspired.

Well I searched for quite a while but this one I cannot find... sorry. I even sat through a tranche of general 80s Pittsburgh commercials in the hopes it would pop up but nada. Please accept this Mario Lemieux 80s Snickers commercial as a consolation prize:

Your efforts are truly appreciated.

The story:
This would have been 80-81-82 probably. A family moved into our neighborhood from Korea. Their English wasn’t great (better than my Korean though, of course) and they had a son who was around the age of me and the rest of the neighborhood dopes. He immediately dominated our neighborhood soccer games and we taught him hockey so he could play in the street with us. Because he was learning the language, he used to sing lyrics all the time. He would constantly sing that promo song while we were playing street hockey.

Weird to watch that commerical and know that despite being retired. That Mario was still the best player on earth during that filming
