"I am on an NHL/Youtube shortlist of approved posters for old games". How'd you get that to happen if you don't mind me asking?

I tried to post Games 5 and 6 of the 1993 Toronto vs Los Angeles series but it was flagged by Youtube's copyright engine. Normally I just appeal that decision and it is allowed to be posted (I am on an NHL/Youtube shortlist of approved posters for old games). But in this case I noticed that Youtube's compression engine ruined the video and made it jittery so it is not worth appealing. So if you want to watch games 5 and 6 of that series you can go to the NHL's official channel and they have condensed versions of both games. So I am going to go to digitizing Game 7 in full along with two relevant Coach's Corners, a Stomping Tom Connor interview on "The Hockey Song" done during the intermission of game 5, and also some after the fact interviews on the series with Wayne Gretzky and TSN analyst Bob MacKenzie whom some still blame for Toronto's loss. Eventually we plan to get full video of games 1 through 6 and upload HD versions of all of them, but that will be a bit as we are hurting financially right now because of the Canada Post strike which has decimated our card grading and reclamation business. I have found a repository of thousands of games, most never published online or only published in low quality, that I hope at some point to buy outright from the owner but that will probably be thousands of dollars, so that is a project in progress with no set finish date.
