Johnny and Gio make the all star team kind of surprised Gio got in instead of Brodie haha
R-r-r-r-reeeeeepooooosting this:
I'm kinda disappointed, to be honest. But at the same time, Brodie has many years left for that, and Gio not so much.
Johnny Gaudreau is no stranger to torching the opposition.
But in regards to a failed bid to light his stick on fire in the breakaway competition of the 2015 All-Star Game skills competition, Gaudreau was extinguished.
Not this time.
Not yet, at least.
And he’s still fired up.
“We’ll see,” Gaudreau said. “We’ll see what activity I do in the skills competition. If I’m in the same thing, maybe we’ll talk about it and hopefully they’ll let me do it.
“Last year, [Mark Giordano] and I were on the bus to the skills competition and he’s like, ‘Let’s light you stick on fire.’ and I was like, ‘Let’s do it.’ We got into the locker room and they shut it down.
“Who knows? Maybe we’ll practice it in a couple days and see if it works. I have no idea. I haven’t tried it. Maybe we’ll give it a go in the next couple days.”
For Gaudreau, it’s his second appearance at the All-Star Game in two seasons of pro hockey. He attended last year under the Western Conference vs. Eastern Conference format.
So too did Giordano, who also earned his second invite in as many years, too.
“When I first started playing in the NHL, I would have never dreamed of getting into All-Star Games and stuff like that,” said Giordano, a nine-year NHL veteran who originally went undrafted and signed as a free agent in 2004.
“I don't forget about those days. For me, this is a huge accomplishment. I think it's a fun, exciting thing to be a part of and it's great for family and friends to come. I don't want to miss opportunities to have people there that I want around. I won't take it for granted at all.”
Especially, Giordano suggested, if he and Gaudreau can finally get that stick lit.
“We’ve got to do something,” Giordano said. “We've got to plan in advance if they have that shootout again. We'll figure something out, for sure.
Any chance being the all-star game that Scott drops the mitts and pretends to fight Gaudreau?
... they're on the same team.

What would be funny in the most train wreck way possible is if someone like, lets say Ovechkin, is joking around and pretends to drop the gloves with John Scott and he goes all Happy Gilmore on him and just starts throwing hay makers and ends up getting ejected from an all-star game.
... they're on the same team.
Congrats - looking forward to seeing Hall and Gaudreau hopefully playing together.
Agreed Scott is too powerfulJohnny will play with Scott otherwise its not fair for the other teams.
Johnny is a such a gem. Appreciate the kid being on this team so much that I'm actually dreading the day he retires.
