MultiVersus NHL Collab Brings Animated VGK Game Sunday

Author Sammi Reeves
You don't want to miss it! The Vegas Golden Knights have signed some "super" free agents for a special broadcast happening for Sunday's MultiVersus NHL Face-Off game.

The Vegas Golden Knights are in the fight for final points as the regular season wraps up and the post-season gets underway. Sunday, April 14th will be no laughing matter when they host the Colorado Avalanche. Well, it might be if you watch the ‘MultiVersus NHL Face-Off.’

Sunday’s game will be nationally televised on TNT. However, their television partner truTV will be broadcasting the game with the same pizazz as Disney and Nickelodeon have done with other sports. The MultiVersus NHL Face-Off will be a fully animated event that might have you chuckle your “ice” off.

MultiVersus NHL Face-Off Makes Batman A Golden Knight

TNT, which has national rights to the National Hockey League games, is also part of the same corporate cousin as Warner Brothers, who has a lot of characters ripe for the animating. Velma and Shaggy, Superman and Batman, Wonder Woman, Bugs Bunny and more will be a part of the game.

It is a play off of Warner Bros. Games MultiVersus game, bringing several different characters from several different franchises together in the video game world. Just like watching Mario and Sonic face off in the Olympics, you’ll be able to see Tom and Jerry take on Rick and Morty in the game. Sounds pretty fun!

The draft for the game took place Sunday and Vegas is in the money. Batman, Bugs Bunny, Wonder Woman and Shaggy from Scooby Doo are playing for the Knights. Meanwhile Superman, Velma, Steven Universe Finn The Human will be playing for the lowly Colorado Avalanche.

This Is The Latest In A Myriad Of “Alternate Broadcasts” Of Sports Events

We are living in wild times. The MultiVersus NHL collaboration is just the latest in a sea of alternate sporting event broadcasts. Disney has been doing this in hockey games as of late with the “NHL Big City Greens Classic,” which is adorably quirky.

Meanwhile, we have grown accustomed to Nickelodeon’s alternate broadcast of the Super Bowl and other NFL games. Their take is less “entire animation takeover” and more augmented reality.

The technology has come a long, LONG way, and we are looking forward to seeing what Sunday has to bring.

Vegas Golden Knights Parade Electrifies Las Vegas Strip

On Saturday, a sea of people twinkling gold, silver and black overtook the Las Vegas Strip in celebration of the Golden Knights’ Stanley Cup Parade.

Over 100,000 people squished in the narrow streets of Las Vegas Boulevard with Toshiba Plaza reaching capacity before the parade even started.

It was a true celebration done with Las Vegas fanfare with some of the players getting noticeably inebriated during the parade.

We even got a treat from William Karlsson, who delivered one of the best drunk speeches of all time. It made no sense, yet the message was clear: They did it for the city, and they brought home the team’s first-ever Stanley Cup.

Someone involved with the team tried to snatch the microphone from him a few times amid the post-parade rally, but they were unsuccessful. Finally, someone was able to quell his slurred speech of fiery happiness by confiscating the microphone.

During the parade, the busses of players, coaches, and family members crept past the eager crowd. People and players who were in the parade could be seen pouring shaken beers across the cacophony of people, allowing the gold liquid to explode among the crowd.

The Las Vegas Strip became packed to the brim with people, many of who were wearing their shiniest and brightest VGK gear. The buzzing chant of “GO KNIGHTS GO,” could be heard throughout the parade route.

After the parade, the party continued in Toshiba Plaza. It was equally as chaotic and celebratory with the entire team displayed among the fortress stage.

Music blared, people cheered and the energy was colorful with celebration. People from Las Vegas and across the country were enjoying the few hours of the Vegas Golden Knights Parade and essentially party. The Strip was shut down and within those few hours, the city felt connected and together.

Bruce Cassidy spoke humble words saying that it was an honor to coach the team. Mark Stone’s speech was filled with the emotional ups and downs that came with this win. Other players drunkenly gushed about how good winning the Cup felt while also thanking the fans.

As the streamers, confetti and lights flashed across Toshiba Plaza, this scene was an emblem of the true meaning behind this win: From the ashes of darkness, light and greatness will rise.

GO. KNIGHTS. GO.
