The History Will Be Made campaign was popular enough last year that Versus and NBC has teamed up with Young & Rubicam again for 2011. The companies have developed another installment of the Stanley Cup playoff commercials. These are goose-bump inducing ads that can pull at your heart strings even if you don’t have a deep sense of hockey history.

“Amends” features the Washington Capitals’ Dale Hunter. In 1987 Hunter and the Caps lost to the Islanders in the Easter Epic. Twelve months later the Caps found themselves trailing the Flyers three games to one. Dale Hunter redeemed himself by assisting on the first goal and then scoring the game-winning goal in overtime to push them into the next round.
