Gooding, Jr.’s unbridled enthusiasm morphed into bizarre comedy and then into subtle (but bleep-worthy) homophobia with Mark Messier on stage, as he handed out three different awards.

Buckle up for seven minutes in heaven, as Cuba:

- Attempts to get a bored, dead crowd hyped.

- Gets creepily animated by shouting out his words like he has Tourette’s.

- Gets Pierre McGuire close-talking squirmy with Andrew Ference.

- Hits on Andrew Ference’s wife, who we assume was somewhere in the building.

- Refers to a young man who beat cancer as a Boston Bruins “flan.”

- Kicks a box off the stage.

- Makes a joke about the NHL not being able to afford wide-lens cameras.

- Asks Mark Messier and Adam Graves to make a reverse Oreo with him – “Double Stuffed.” (What the what?)

- Tells Mark Messier to unhand his posterior. Twice. Only he doesn’t say posterior.

[sixteen-bit]

[triplestation]

OMG HE WAS DRUNK????

THIS WILL NOT STAND

This is PREPOSTEROUS

 

[Fart Stink]

It's bad but it's not "bad, bad." I was expecting a true meltdown. All I got was was a slightly cooked out Cuba.

Forgiven if he said this

 

[nateeasy]

That kids dream was to attend the NHL awards?

Hes up there with Simple Jack now!

 

[Red Liquorice]

He was certainly, animated.

 

[Dommo]

Regardless of whether he was drunk or not (he totally was), you can tell he's a self-centered, arrogant ass. It's an awards ceremony. The attention is meant to be on the recipients and the award givers are there to add a bit of flavour in the background.

 

[tfur]

He just seemed like he was enthusiastic and having fun.
Not really seeing a mess.

Wow lol. He was certainly alive more than anyone else in that crowd last night. He should Host a E3 conference or something.

 

[Junior Mint]

Why was he even there?

 

[Hypemaster]

Fun to watch.

Same here, I just watched the video, doesn't seem as bad as people were making out. He was trying to get the show some laughs and liven it up.

 

[TuXx]

He was in a NHL event and he was in the audience. What did you expect was gonna happen?

 

[SJRB]

If I was Cuba Gooding Jr. I'd be drunk 24/7.

 

[TuXx]

He looked like he was having fun and enjoying himself out there. What makes it funny is the fact how uneasy everyone else was. Hockey players most have their own sticks. Shoved right up their ass, which would explain why they get into so many fights in the rink
