The three stars of the Dallas Stars, Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn, and Joe Pavelski, were filmed at the wedding of the team's captain. The three men seem to be having a lot of fun, and as they say, they are having a party!
Why are we talking about this?
By definition, we love to see festive images with smiles. In a way, it shows the atmosphere that can prevail among the players off the ice and often indicates the atmosphere in the locker room as well.
Tyler Seguin and Joe Pavelski Party at Jamie Benn's Wedding
We are not here to judge them. After all, it's the offseason. The offseason is the best time to let loose and enjoy the summer. Remember the images of Alex Ovechkin on the beach a few weeks ago. You can be sure that the Tsar will be in much better physical shape in October.
With advertising agencies, player agents, and NHL team public relations, it is extremely rare to see videos involving players from Bettman's circuit circulating on the web or social media.
There is no ban, but let's say all players are subject to morality clauses in their professional contracts. They cannot do anything that could harm their team's reputation, otherwise, they risk having their contract terminated. One must be careful! Just ask Tony DeAngelo!
See the images in question:
For our fans, we would love to see more images like this more often. I'm not sure the Canadiens' public relations would appreciate seeing such images on social media involving their players, given the reputation of the media in Quebec. This story would be blown out of proportion and be in all the media for a week.
Life on social media is a powerful marketing tool for a player and a club. Remember P.K. Subban's antics on Facebook and Instagram. He quickly became an emblem in his own right on these two platforms among NHL players. Thanks to all the publicity around his social media management, P.K. Subban got media contracts after his career.
In any case, one thing is certain. We can say without hesitation that they deserve a perfect score for their rendition of "Shallow," a popular song written by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper.
