Favorite Nike Hockey Goalies Commercials #8 - The Landscaper

As you may or may not know, I am a very enthusiastic hockey fan. I root for the Colorado Avalanche, and watch them as often as possible, but I will happily watch any hockey game that happens to be on. Back in the 90's, Nike made a hilarious series of commercials revolving around "former NHL goalies" who were out of the league, bitterly performing regular jobs after their weaknesses were exposed by NHL superstars wearing Nike equipment. We are at #8: The Landscaper.
In this one, a former Montreal Canadiens goalie is working as a landscaper after constantly getting beat by Toronto Maple Leafs superstar Mats Sundin. As the goalie works, he has to clear, you guessed it, maple leaves from the yard, and he becomes angrier and angrier.
Enjoy!

@Happy2BeMe - I think that a lot of it was due to the fact that because much of the campaign centered around Mats Sundin, they went with Montreal since they play Toronto so often during the season.

@crossbones27 - Yep. Arguably the greatest goalie ever. We were very lucky to have him play the last half of his career here.

They would have won the Stanley Cup that one year with him had the rookie Patrick Roy not totally stole it from them!

I think there should be a law that all commercials have to be funny.

Not into sports at all but this is an interesting video. Whenever I have had to rake up fall leaves I have always hated it.
