FAIL: TVA Sports announced the Canadiens' victory over the Penguins by mistake yesterday and it caused stir online
Many of you have sent us the photo.
Yes, this can be categorized as a "blooper," as for some unknown reason, last night during the second intermission of the Canadiens vs. Penguins game, TVA announced the following:
TVA announced the Canadiens' victory over the Penguins with a score of 2 to 1
Those who are more superstitious probably didn't appreciate this TVA notification.
Sometimes, alerts are pre-programmed by certain media outlets, but these are generally "timeless" topics or issues that can be published at any time.
Here, we're talking about a hockey game that can change very quickly, so why prepare the alert so far in advance?
In short, it made us laugh and was a topic of conversation last night on social media.
This is reminiscent of the time when TVA Sports sent out an alert (way too early) to announce that the Canadiens had decided to match the offer sheet made by the Carolina Hurricanes for Jesperi Kotkaniemi.
They had announced Kotkaniemi's grand return to Montreal, and we now know what followed.
Returning to last night's game, let's obviously remember that Martin St-Louis's team lost 3 to 2 in overtime. You did not dream it.
