Video taking off 19x its usual first day

McKenna's family cam catches gasps as tempers flare

The NHL's short broadcast clip turns from a scuffle behind the net to sharply different reactions in the seats.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 460,629 views a day, 19 times a normal first day on this channel (24,227).

Different Reactions in the McKenna HouseholdDifferent Reactions in the McKenna Household

Gavin McKenna and Pettersson grab each other along the boards, Roslovic skates over, and then the broadcast finds another angle: the family watching it all unfold.

The cut to McKenna's family comes just seconds into "Different Reactions in the McKenna Household." Shock, gasps and amusement share the same suite. Nobody needs a postgame interview to establish that they have rather different responses to the action below.

"Family's here in town," a commentator notes as the camera switches away from the ice. That little broadcast detour is the point of the NHL's upload, which has passed 300,000 views in 11 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts.

The replies concentrate more on McKenna standing up for himself than on the family cam. Elsewhere on the channel, another heated exchange gets a lighter response: Carolina's Juuso Välimäki answers Winnipeg's Tyrel Bauer with the classic scoreboard gesture. That Short is also drawing an unusually fast audience, without needing a goal to provide its punchline.
