Cbc Stanley Cup Montage
2009 Stanley Cup Final, Game #1 - The Scientist (Coldplay) It's not going to be the popular choice, but hear me out. First of all, if you've never seen Coldplay's unbelievable music video for. The CBC Sports logo followed by the HNIC intro from the 1991 Stanley Cup Finals between the North Stars & Penguins presented by Molson Canadian, Ford, Esso &. This Stanley Cup Video Will Get You Excited For The NHL Playoffs. CBC's 'Hockey Night in Canada' opened their playoff coverage with a montage of highlights from past NHL playoffs.
The folks at the CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada gave us a pretty great montage at the start of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs that captured the spirit of the pursuit for hockey’s Holy Grail. And on top of that, it featured The Who’s “Baba O’Riley.”
Then they gave us another montage prior to Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Bruins and Blackhawks. That was also pretty good, and it featured Neil Young’s “Hey Hey, My My.”
So did they have another montage ready to go after the Blackhawks won the Cup last night? You bet they did! And this time, it featured the Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter.”
Take a look:
I thought I heard somewhere that CBC was having money troubles in recent years. However, judging by all the money they forked over for the rights to these classic tunes used to make their 2013 playoff montages, they can’t be hurting too much.
It kind of makes you wonder why they wouldn’t pony up the money to renew the rights to the iconic HNIC theme song a few years back, instead of letting it fall into the hands of TSN.
I’m starting to wonder if some big shot at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has a niece or nephew working in the editing department on Hockey Night in Canada or something, because those people are producing some pretty epic intro montages to each game of the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals. I mean, I can understand going all out for a general “YAY PLAYOFF HOCKEY!” montage advertising the entire playoffs, or even one just for the Finals. But for every game? That just seems like overkill.
I’m not saying these montages aren’t good. They’re actually great—which is why they’re overkill. Do I want some kind of dramatic recap of the series when tuning in to Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals? Sure I do. But thirty or forty seconds will suffice. Hell, maybe even a whole minute.

Last night, however, HNIC gave Canadian hockey fans (and Americans living near the Canada-U.S. border) an epic three-minute intro set to the classic Neil Young rocker, “Hey Hey, My My.”

See what I mean? It’s very well done, but what the hell are these things going to look like if this series goes to seven games?

I guess if they need the extra time, they can always set their Game 7 intro to the entire eight minutes of Led Zepplin’s, “Stairway to Heaven.”
