These Are The Days
Oh no! We suck again!!
The Crosby marketing hype was OUT OF CONTROL about 10 years ago. These are just a few where he's a focal point.
And this is not including the NHL live (at least I think it was) commercials where it showed him scoring a goal and then the text card said Goal: Crosby, Assists: Malkin, Staal
AND another NHL live commercial that started with Crosby scoring some stupid good goal and Steigerwald losing his mind and then the narrator pops up "If Crosby scores a goal in Pittsburgh... will you see it Los Angeles?"
This is also not taking into account there must've been at least 2 other Penguins/Crosby commercials that were not as prominent
All of this from about 2006-2009
It was f***ing unbearable.....
The Rays went to the World Series in 2008 and by contrast, the Penguins got more airtime and marketing on my Tampa TV than they did.....
McDavid probably has a ton of stuff but I have yet to see it if ever. You'd forget he even exists here in Tampa. 10 years ago NHL marketing didn't let you breathe without reminding you that Crosby was THE thing
