I thought Alex and Staley looked funny running backwards, so I made a vid

by Soulbrother16 on Jan 16, 2012 8:16 PM PST

It's a bite of the "History Will Be Made" commercials for the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs, I was inspired while re-watching the game and rewinding the play in slow-mo by accident. I remembered someone making one for the SF Giants last season and thought it would be fun to do. 75 words is difficult to write about a 30 second long video. Enjoy it.

I was going to originally, but I wasn’t entirely sure how to get the Youtube vid in, and there was no preview button to save me from publishing emptiness.

Fun!

You know what I would have liked? If you did the backwards part and then put the play together again, kind of like a groundhog day effect. But I have no flying idea how to do that stuff, so don’t take it as criticism.

French fries are really Belgian, sausages and bagels have the same amount of protein, two countries' names mean "turkey", and Santa Claus was invented by the Coca-Cola company. Is life weird or what?

I thought this was pretty funny too.

Would have been perfect if after the rewind, you let the video play again in real time :P

Blocks easy to see in reverse!

Williams and Staley had amazing blocks, easy to see. Also Crabtree [on #22] and Iupati screened important players from pursuing Alex to the side line.

Crabtree's block even looked good backwards
