I much as I hate to admit it, one of the lasting images of the snowy Winter Classic comes from the Amp commercial featuring Buffalo's Ryan Miller and Los Angeles' J-Sebastien Aubin gently insulting each other's mother.
While it's easy to understand using Miller, seeing that he played in the game, but to cast Aubin in the role? Aside from Kings fans, I'm sure there are plenty of hockey fans who still don't know who he was.
Given all the money devoted to brand recognition these days, it's hard to believe that there weren't other goalies waiting in the wings. Why not use Pittsburgh's Ty Conklin?
My favorite line? Miller's lamp-lighter: "You're momma's so ugly she makes onions cry."
