Hello and welcome to the first edition of Fan Poll Friday, something I plan on carving in stone for the rest of my summer blogging schedule (pronounced "shedge-wool" like the British do). I suppose it couldn't be more obvious that I adore alliteration, so I also plan on tossing "Throwback Thursdays" into the mix as well (aka "Hey, Remember That Guy?" for those who recall it's lone appearance a few months back).
So, without further ado, this week's vote is to determine the funniest hockey commercial of all time. I've turned over every stone and thoroughly searched every nook and cranny of the youtube universe to find the best of the best. If you think you've got a real gem on your hands that isn't below, just post it in the thread and I'll add it on.
But for now, here are 20 nominees:
1. NIKE GOALIE - THE BABYSITTER
2. NHL NETWORK - CLICHES
3. HOCKEY FALLS - TRYOUT
4. NHL - SWEDISH TWINS
5. BOSTON BRUINS - NEVER DATE WITHIN THE DIVISION
6. AMP ENERGY - RYAN MILLER YO MAMA
7. ESPN - SHANAHAN IS A GOOD AND GREAT MAN
8. AMSTEL - ENORMOUS GOALIE
9. NHL - FORSBERG TURNS OUT THE LIGHT
10. NHL NETWORK - 110%
11. ESPNEWS - CAM NEELY
12. COOLEST GAME ON EARTH - CHESS MATCH BETWEEN MESSIER & GRETZKY
13. NIKE - HOMELESS BRUINS GOALIE
14. ESPN - HEY JEFF, DON'T FORGET YOUR STICK
15. NHL NETWORK - NEUTRAL ZONE
16. NIKE - DIE MAPLE LEAFS! DIE!
17. NHL - ROAD TRIP
18. COOLEST GAME ON EARTH - ADAM OATES
19. ESPN - ROB RAY SECURITY
20. NIKE GOALIE - THE BANK ROBBER
Alright, so now it's up to you to place your votes. If you elect not to I must warn you: I have a goalie stick...and a sharp skate!

Oh and for my money's worth: I'll take #1 (the babysitter), #2 (cliches), and #10 (110%) as my top 3. Can't go wrong with any of them.
