Yeah I agree. That scene was awesome.

I used to love the NHL 2001 intro. My brother and I played this all the time and after all this time, when I hear that Collective Soul song on the radio, I immediately think of this game.

::edit:: still having issues trying to get these youtube videos to embed properly.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the intro, but I loved that song. I still listen to it from time to time.

I miss decent intros, they always pumped me up to play the game. NCAA Football games on PS1 had some awesome intros. Now all we get it a stupid OBJ loading screen that takes way too long.

Nothing can top NHL 98 and 99 Intro. Those were amazing!!

My all time favorite as well. Brings me back! Watching all those hits makes a guy wonder how many of those would be considered illegal today. My how times have changed...

MVP Baseball 2005 and NFL Gameday 2001, both always got me pumped (in different ways).
