The official page of Tampa Bay Lighting uploaded the video of four hockey players playing the 90s favorite video game, Mario Kart. At the beginning of the video, players decide to adjust the speed of the race to the highest limit which is 100cc.
However, before the game began, they all agreed that the controls of the remote controller were clueless. They had a hard time understanding it.
One of the players stated;
“this is weird hold”
While the other player stated;
“on yeah I don’t really know the I forget the controls”
Then they selected their respective characters with which they would race. The Tampa Bay players could not get Mario as a character because it was locked. The real fun began when the four players started to race. Throughout the time they raced against each other, they were simply laughing. While they had fun racing, they were still figuring out the controls. The players kept asking each other how the remote controller worked. However, ultimately it was Anthony Cirelli who won the race.
