Apparently ED Watches Stanley Cup Hockey

As we roll into the third period of tonight's Game 4 between Detroit and Pittsburgh (with the Red Wings leading 2-1 in the series, and now leading the game 2-1 early in the 3rd), it's becoming obvious that Viagra is a major sponsor of the program! I'm talking half a dozen commercials per hour, all of them featuring people of advancing age (older, even, than me!) who suddenly decide to have sex. Since it's sometimes the woman initiating matters, I guess that means the little blue pill that the old dude took awhile earlier has finally kicked in and he's got an erection that his 60-something wife can hear throbbing all the way across the room.

I don't know... hockey fans and Viagra? It used to be beer and car commercials almost exclusively... does this mean that the NHL playoffs have jumped the shark?

I can't believe you don't remember the Guy Lafeur ads! Guy was on talking about ED before viagra was on the market! So I'd say ED (and male hair colour products) have a long hockey tradition.
