Motivational compilations, alligning good plays and great hits with just the right music, are nothing new: in fact, even such a thing could not make the team, though a powerhouse as it was, roll all over their most hated rivals on two distinct occasions, some thirty years apart. The compilations rolling out only the positives, editing out any negatives and, therefore, any doubts that there could be on anyone's mind, players or fans alike, have rarely inspired this team or any team to exceed expectations and overachieve...
Such videos are truly laudable efforts though: as they testify of their authors' true faith in their team, their unyielding allegiance to it and their neverending hope to see it reach the pinnacle in its field - asap! They can inspire through sheer epicness - or through humour, in some rare cases...
Such videos can be creative gems too - as they can also be quite amusing, too!
Let's just have a look right now and judge by ourselves, shall we...
The videos are of two other categories as well: made by the fans or made... by the corporation that owns the team! As we can see here:
Just a coincidence, I am sure, that that last guy just happens to bear (pun truly, fully, absolutely intended) an uncanny resemblance to former Bruin and former Oiler Craig MacTavish...
But that is another story...
All laudable indeed - but can they inspire victory, complete victory, one day soon?
