I could watch the All Star game today...or...I could go to Koi Pond Brewery, drink tasty draft beer, and listen to legendary NC bluesman Bill Lyerly. Y'all let me know how it turns out

That sound a lot better than what I'm doing. Replacing a couple of ceiling fans.

So white pants for the Pacific. Fun to see once a year, I suppose. Players don't exactly look excited during introductions.

 

[Joe McGrath]

My God are those pant shells hideous. f***ing Adidas. The Western teams jersey setups are a nice homage to the classic all-star games jersey.

 

[cptjeff]

Karlsson really should have worn the pirate hat again.

 

[Joe McGrath]

The Atlantic has the best uniform setup, and then they put white helmets in them......

Hanifin somehow drew Crosby and OV.

Holtby was in postseason form today

From what I saw (not all of it), zero points and somewhat embarrassed by Barkov (but not to a degree that anyone will remember). He had some scoring chances because it was pond hockey.

Given how much hate our defensemen usually get on a larger stage (Bean, Fleury and Murphy at world juniors) I’m happy with him not being noticed.

Considering the format, which was as unfriendly to defense as possible, just getting through that game without being posterized was fine.
