They probably had the show producer and director yelling in their IFB to move some cars and wrap poo poo up despite any spontaneous, possibly fun thing that might be happening on stage. They are no-joke, super tone deaf at these things.

Still, it was just incredibly sloppily produced. They let RNH wander off stage then had to call him back when it was revealed they were both getting cars. I genuinely feel that someone neglected to mention to the emcees how that was going to end. It takes 30 seconds to tell them before it all starts "we're doing a fan vote for the final pick, so play that up and try and build silly fake tension before the cut to commercials. Afterwards keep them talking as they'll both be getting cars and we want to surprise them with them." That should've been the big fun finale/sign off and they totally flubbed it.

It was even better than that. Even though everyone in the audience figured out the 'twist', the host still let it drop with "Ovechkin missed out on 2 cars" without properly announcing anything. Honda's not going to be happy with that.

Same here prod-buddy  been producing radio and tv schlock for 17 years now and that's probably why I'm getting all  with seeing NBCSP/NHL Networks production values. They always seem to be one step behind what is happening on camera and completely tone deaf. The worst part is seeing what it COULD be yet they continually drop the ball when it comes to showcasing or selling their sport.eh what can ya do.

Team Toews has Forsberg, Weber, and the Preds coaches. I guess I'm for them. Cool that Filip got a car. His life is pretty good this year.

I do mostly live stuff so my mistakes aren't immortalized on film, but man I hope I never run something that disastrous. I realize there are lots of moving parts and 95% of the people on that stage aren't actors and didn't have any idea what was going on, but yikes lotsa mistakes. It was entertaining though. I just wish my favourite sport didn't come up with a televison product that looks like it was run by the Adirondack Community Player Society.

Either way the league probably shouldn't adopt the attitude of "we're catering to our core fan base here, it's okay to half rear end everything."

Thank God the players were able to make something staged fun.

It sure is too bad that Team Toews only has 11 forwards, and only 1 LW to boot. I bet they could use a Johnny Gaudreau promotion...

So, like, maybe do a draw and give the car to a fan of the team of the last player picked or something. Why the gently caress is Honda giving a car to a couple of people who objectively don't need it and wont ever drive it. gently caress you NHL, I want an accord.

My friend, who's a Blackhawks fan, asked me which team I'm rooting for. I said "Team Toews" because of Forsberg and Weber, but I pronounced it "Team Toes." I just found one of the best ways to annoy a Hawks fan.
