MEXICO CITY--"¡Dios mío! ¡Está bailando el baile del diablo!" began the audio of a shaky, vertically-filmed cell phone video taken inside Mexico City's arena last week and recently brought to view of the world by means of the Internet.
For most, the intermission period is a time to get up, take a walk, buy a drink, spend 10 minutes waiting in line at the restroom while the drunk guy behind you talks about his appendix-removal-gone-wrong, and do just about anything but get excited about the game. That's what the actual game is for. To most people, of course. Not to the Kings' GM, Nyko Nax (@Nykonax), who took the opportunity of a break in the action to appeal to Generation Z in the most egregious manner possible.
Midway through the intermission, The Backpack Kid's "Flossin'" began to play on the arena's sound system, and Nax took the opportunity to not only begin flossing viciously, but, after about ten seconds of that, break into numerous other dances from the infamous video game Fortnite, which has, behind an overwhelmingly 14-years-old-and-younger fanbase, forcibly invaded Western culture in just about every way imaginable, from Avengers: Endgame to YouTube Rewind 2018. Nax was caught on the Jumbotron, and since the video's release, has become known as "that Fortnite guy" throughout the world of professional hockey, and even throughout the world in general, as the video made its way into the trending front-page sections of sites such as YouTube and Reddit.
When contacted for further information, Nax and other members of Mexico City management declined to comment.
