Vladimir Tarasenko and Brett Hull featured in deflate-gate joke advertisement
Local sports commercials are the best – in with any type of game in any market. Add an NFL ‘deflate-gate’ joke and an inflated Brett Hull and boom, television gold.
Check out this St. Louis area ad by McBride and Son Homes featuring Hull (now the executive VP of the Blues), Vladimir Tarasenko, and Blues analyst Kelly Chase.
Pump up those pucks and whammo! Hammer them into the net, Brett and Vladimir! The most interesting part of this video? The 50-year-old Hull can still blast that one-timer.
And by the eyeball test it looked harder and more accurate than Tarasenko's. Regardless of how we make fun of his post-NHL weight gain (what athlete hasn't packed on a few pounds after their playing days) no doubt he could find a spot near the circle on a power play and just blast shots past the goaltender
Add a cheesy joke about puck inflation and Hull’s 86-goal season at the end and you have low-quality local commercial gold.
