I'm pretty sure Shanko is Glencross's new nickname.

Ruins that already lame commercial. Lando and shanko and Hughson can't even save it.
I think there are laws against celebrities endorsing alcohol on tv.

The worst part about this is they say there is no guarantee on how long they will support it. So, you could order one and get it in June then find out Budweiser isn't providing the back end support next season and have an expensive decoration that doesn't fulfill its main purpose.

No thanks. Maybe I will buy one in October if they are still supporting it and I have $150 I'm not feeling too attached to.

I don't know about any rules forbidding any celebrity from endorsing alcohol, but it does violate the NHL CBA. Laraque got in trouble for it a few years ago when he was with the Habs: http://nesn.com/2009/10/montreals-ge...in-alcohol-ad/


Also, Budweiser isn't an official sponsor of the NHL anymore, so I'm sure that's another reason they had to use two names that could never be confused for any real players' names.

I checked these redlights out the next day after the Superbowl and they were already sold out at $150 a pop.
Cool product but i thought it was kind of ridiculous that Budwiser was already sold out of them which made me think they only really released an initial small amount to the public and that they are deliberatly creating a large back order of them for the playoffs.

GameCentre Live is like 10 seconds behind the NHL.com score updates. Which are pretty much on par if not a little bit behind CBC. So sometimes when I go to check faceoff percentages or shots on goal I'll see a goal was scored without actually watching it. So this goal light would do nothing but ruin the game for me. But it would probably be pretty cool for those watching a stream that's synced.

Really?! I thought it was Molson that stopped sponsoring the NHL and that Budweiser took over.

He probably had to re do 100 takes because he kept saying Daniel to Henrik, slap pass Biekssssa Burrows.

The directer kept saying saying where the hell is Hughson going now?

To take a cold shower sir.

When he comes back tell him its Lando and Shanko for the last friggin time.

I am sure if they stop supporting it, someone will step in and make a 3rd party app for it.

I hate how Lando and Shanko are on Vancouver and they score the winning goal against Calgary, with Hughson announcing that terrible commercial.

I'm glad I ordered one of these suckers (Gets here in May)

I figured "Well $200 after shipping is a lot BUT, it will be a great collectors item and it will probably be worth a bunch in a couple years"

I hope the eBay prices go up and up

Hmm, so they ripped a name off Star Wars. Hmm, reminds of that time they ripped off the name Budweiser.
