NHL Analyst Knocks Out Seattle Krakens Mascot During A Live Broadcast
Today, the Seattle Kraken took center stage as they hosted the NHL's annual Winter Classic outdoor game against the Vegas Golden Knights. Like every Winter Classic, the league delivered an entertaining show around the game, and this year was no exception. Amidst all the sideline excitement, the standout moment might just be Paul Bissonette's playful tiff with the Kraken mascot, Buoy.
Buoy playfully dunked Bissonette into a tank of water earlier in the festivities, sparking a broadcast-long banter between the TV analyst and the mischievous mascot. During the broadcast, the Kraken mascot surprised Biz with a pair of boxing gloves, leading to a humorous scuffle.
After a bit of chasing, Biz pulled off a massive vintage body check on the mascot, followed by a wrestling-style bodyslam. It was a comical scene featuring one of hockey's most influential figures. Such engaging and amusing content on the broadcast adds a refreshing touch to combat the occasional dull moments on television, a much-needed boost for Canadian broadcasts.
The
Seattle Kraken sealed the deal by defending their home ice against the reigning cup champs from Vegas, clinching a 3-0 victory. Goaltender
Joey Daccord even made history by recording the first shutout in the NHL Winter Classic's history. Overall, this year's Winter Classic proved to be a resounding success for the NHL.
