johansen goes first im guessing

I think it would be Johansen if Foligno gets first pick, and Keith if Toews gets first pick. Kopitar should get taken care of early as well, not sure about the rest of the Hawks though.

 

[Stone Valley]

Which channel will be broadcasting this in Canada? it doesn't say TSN will be

 

[Trap Jesus]

^ Pretty sure it's Sportsnet.

Over/under on player interviews that DO NOT contain one of the following cliches?

"Just happy to be a part of this."
"This weekend is just a great experience, just trying to soak it all in."
"There are just so many great players here."
"Yeah, it's been a good year so far, but I couldn't do it without my teammates/linemates."

Thanks.


Yea, I do not think any of the players really want to be there, all their team mates have time off to rest while they have to do this.

Sportsnet and TVA

The skills comp and game itself should be on CBC and TVA

Johnnyâ„¢ "Trademarkâ„¢" Hockeyâ„¢ is missing from the OPâ„¢.

I hope one of the rookies get picked last. They probably need the new car.

There has got to be a part of most of them that enjoys the weekend too. Something in highly gifted people makes them like to associate with others equally talented. The event is not very demanding, so it is a vacation. Should probably be in Florida every year though.

Still isn't.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

LOL. Team Foligno. The NHL really has slipped with this event.

 

[Hammettf2b]

Any predictions on who gets picked last?

As much as you guys want to believe this it's not really true.

 

[Kamiccolo]

As much as you guys want to believe this it's not really true.

How about instead of saying all the players either all want or don't want to be there, how about we acknowledge they are people and each of them may have different views and opinions on their presence there, and agree the world isn't black and white.

 

[Bps21*]

It's a shame they let Zemgus win that vote and soil the sanctity of this all important game of Team Toews vs. Team Foligno.

 

[hisgirlfriday]

Can Toews or Foligno bet on this?

 

[BlueDream]

That's exactly my point. Yet all I've seen is people talking about how none of them want to be there. That's false, especially the first-timers.

 

[MAX452]

Anyone know where I can watch this and also the skills comp?

I'm in Australia and it's not part of gamecentre it seems

Any streams around?

 

[izzy]

LOL. Team Foligno. The NHL really has slipped with this event.

Not really, they gave the hometown team a captain.

 

[Ventana*]

Vrbata or Elias will probably be picked last

 

[Machinehead]

Interested to see the Nash reaction.

I think Filip Forsberg needs a car,His teammate Mattias Ekholm drives him around Nashville alot

Rick Nash on how he'll be received at #NHLAllStar in Columbus this weekend. "My gut is boos."

Chris Johnston @reporterchris · 3h 3 hours ago
Interesting that Alex Ovechkin says it's part of his job to attend the #NHLAllStar game. Would rather take time off, but feels he owes fans.

My bad: Johnny Gaudreau is not part of the main NHL all-star game after all. Was a fluid situation but they've decided to play one F short.

Don't get why they can't just let him play instead of having uneven teams. Would've been nice to see the Top 3 rookies this year to play in the ASG.
