LAS VEGAS —<\/strong> It is 8:41 a.m. on Monday when Seth Jarvis<\/a> walks down the hall of the 22nd floor of the Waldorf Astoria, four minutes early. He is clad in a casual oatmeal suit — think bomber instead of suit jacket — and a black tee, picked out by his stylist.<\/p>\n

The Carolna Hurricanes forward is headed for room 2211, the first stop on a nonstop tour that will take him until nearly 4:30 p.m., leaving him tongue-tied and tired and, after which, the admittedly big fan of the midday snooze will walk off an elevator saying, \u201cI\u2019m going to take a nap now,\u201d though he will not, in reality, get to do so.<\/p>\n

But that is far in the distance, as Jarvis enters the bustling room, filled with nearly 30 people for his first appointment of the NHL\/NHLPA North American Player Media Tour, the whirlwind of media and rightsholder appointments put on by the NHL annually. He and New York Islanders forward Mathew Barzal<\/a> are pulled over to an open laptop by Ritesh Gupta, the director of what will be this season\u2019s answer to the \u201cTipping\u201d ad from the 2024-25 campaign.<\/p>\n

Gupta explains the concept, a send-up of the phenomenon that “Love Island” has become, the idea of people coming together to group-watch episodes of reality TV.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more you play into it, it just makes the joke funnier,\u201d Gupta explains.<\/p>\n

Jarvis is led over to the main shooting area, a couch with white fabric hanging in place of where the TV will eventually be. He is told to lean forward, to repeat the line, \u201cSame, love the drama.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGive me the biggest version you think I\u2019ll never use,\u201d he is told. Then, a moment later, \u201cOne more, a little less.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LAS VEGAS — It is 8:41 a.m. on Monday when Seth Jarvis walks down the hall of the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":215975,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[293,62,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-215974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115181039485345220","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215974","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215974"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215974\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215975"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215974"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215974"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215974"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
