The nhl should ditch the entertainment aspect of this. Have the show be 30 minutes, with presenters from around the league, and focus on hockey.
Sports awards shows are never entertaining and almost always awkward as hell. Just lean into the awards part
> Presenters will include musician Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy), comedian and actor Jay Pharoah (SNL), and actors Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things) and Noah LaLonde (My Life with the Walter Boys).
I’m not even totally sure there is an “either of these.” Like is it one artist named “Loud Luxury and Bishop Briggs” or two separate artists named “Loud Luxury” and “Bishop Briggs?” My guess would be the latter, but I’m not entirely sure.
Age isn’t just a number, it’s a vibe, and I’m feeling my age right now as well.
Haha understandable. They’re separate. Loud Luxury is fairly big in Dance music and Bishop Briggs is Alternative. Not bad choices, albeit a little odd for this
idk man Loud Luxury is pretty well-known. I know music has diversified a lot and the monoculture doesn't exist anymore but they've got like 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify and their biggest hit has over a billion streams.
They're also Canadian, which the NHL always likes.
I'll be honest I've only heard of Loud Luxury because I listen to a lot of pop radio when I use car sharing programs because it's usually for short trips and I can't be fucked to spend the time to change it to anything else, but they had a pretty big hit in 2017 that still gets frequent airplay in Canada. According to Wikipedia, it didn't chart high in the US but cracked the top ten in Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and a few European countries

250 million views on Youtube and nearly 10 million monthly listeners on Spotify ain't anything to sneeze at I'd say

lmao wtf is this lineup
NHL and inviting C list celebrities, name a better duo
I know I’m getting old because I have never heard of either of these
I'm younger and I have no idea who these people are.

For those unaware of her, Bishop Briggs is an incredible vocalist. Puts on a great live show.
She’s also been featured multiple times in EA’s NHL games over the years.
LIKE A RIVER
Who
Loud Luxury and Bishop Briggs
Oh, I saw them open for Archspire a couple months back

why does the nhl only bring in the most random ass musicians to perform at these things? i'm super into music and haven't heard of either of these two
