Never underestimate the NHL, Buff! Though in this case, it's really just NBC trying waaaaay too hard. Also, should have launched this tomorrow so that, if it does bomb, they can just call it an April Fools joke and allow people to forget about it by Wednesday!

As far as marketing gimmicks go, this is right up there with the NHL Guardian project.

I want to see where this story is going, I never wanted to see the Guardian Project.
While I thought the Gaurdian project blew dead donkey dong, it was a useful tool to get my 4/5 yr old, that was a superhero nut at the time into hockey.
He is now a hockey nut.
I think it was a success.

The Thrasher is capable of flying at 5 times the speed of sound. To achieve this feat the Thrasher has a titanium canopy that, when deployed surrounds his entire body encasing him in a futuristic looking Jet Plane
The Guardians Project was bad, but let's be honest, it was for kids.
This is a novel way to boost interest in the US in the Cup itself, and provides an outlet to educate otherwise oblivious masses about the storied history of the greatest trophy in sports.
Kitsch? Yes. But probably only to those of us who are already steeped in the tradition. For everyone else, this may actually be somewhat effective leading up to the NHL playoffs.
