The rise of TikTok has completely changed media days in the NHL. Once upon a time, players would simply sit down for one-on-one interviews, chat a little puck, and bounce. Now… they’re being asked to answer dad jokes, and honestly… we’re all for it!
Even if it makes for a pretty awkward video.
Mitch Marner, who’s nothing but accommodating when it comes to media requests, was asked to rate some and let’s just say the whole thing was a little weird… Hey, at least it produced a good video?
That fake noodle joke… not even sure if it deserved a two.. Pretty Brutal. On a side note- is it just us or is Mitch looking a little stronger this offseason?!
Speaking of awkward TikTok videos… here’s another one featuring Mitch’s teammate Auston Matthews, who should maybe learn a thing or two about rhythm?!
Hey, at least the fellas were good sports about participating in these. Those dad jokes were pretty tough.
