Reported!

 

[puckhead]

viral faked-video ad says 'what'?

 

[Dacks]

Man, I hate these fake ads. Started with Ronaldinho volleying off the crossbar a half-dozen times a few years back. If I was a pro-athlete, I'd never do one of these; it lessens the impact of when a player actually does something cool in a commercial.

Crosby sucks.

 

[IPostedWhat]

This isn't real.

 

[Ho_Brah]

FAKE

 

[Automattic]

What was that you said...

 

[pixburgher66]

I...really don't think that's fake. I mean, it was on NHL's website.

 

[SLY]

prolly not fake.... but he prolly did it like 50 times to get it.

 

[Dacks]

Pause it at 30 seconds. Ignore the rolling puck and look at the pucks still sitting on the boards. After he hits the rolling puck the camera pans up and there seems to be an extra puck.

It's clearer in this video:

Maybe I'm wrong...but it looks like 5 on each. Or I maybe looking at the wrong thing completely.

I think the only fake with this video is it took a number of times to get it right, and they just editted the video to make it look like one shot.

He has two pucks left, takes a slap shot and knocks the one puck rolling. Sid has one puck left, visible in the video... once he hits the rolling puck, he should have no pucks near him, however, when they pan back over to Sid, there is clearly a puck on the ice next to him, where did that extra puck come from... it came from all the shots he had to take in order to hit it one time.

But whatever, a cool ad.

Ah, because on the embed the 'youtube' watermark obscures it.

Click the link, watch it full-screen. Watch the bottom right hand-corner before and after he hits the rolling puck. A new puck magically appears, not on the pyramid, but by itself to the right.

Funny thing, I noticed THAT, but someone missed the discrepancy that JustAsking is talking about.

There was an 8 page thread on hf boards (which can be a really stupid place) debating whether or not this one is real. A Crosby slap shot causing a 100 lb net (that's 45 kilos to you smart Canadians) to jump off the ice.'

Silly rabbit. Advertisers never lie.
obviously this is real an un-faked
they are simply pointing out that there's no way anyone is doing this with an Easton, Koho or CCM. Not without the power and control only a Reebok stick can provide.

Obviously true, or Reebok would never have allowed it. Advertisers are always straight and honest with the general public, especially in the unregulated viral video segment. They would never intentionally deceive.

He starts with 5 pucks with no other pucks around him. The last puck shoots the rolling puck, but when they pan it back out he has 2 pucks near him on the right hand side. Noticed it right away. Bad editing?

 

[pixburgher66]

Ahhhh, I saw both. I'm sure they'll come out with another, more...polished version.

They should put IPW on it. The man's a gif genius.
