2016 All-Star Game (Toews & Kane in)

[CourtneyDagger50]

We already know Kane is the captain of the Central Division. The rest of the team is being named soon.
Hawks beat writers say Toews and/or Crawford are other Hawks possibilities.

The jerseys were unveiled.

Thoughts?

MILES better than last years monstrosity.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Actually not half bad. I'll need to see in person, but I might be open to getting one.

Then again, the neon nightmares of the previous ASG jerseys might just still be fresh in my mind, so merely not bad is a huge step up.

 

[emeyezee]

Hahahaha Toews named to the team. HFBoards is gonna explode, especially people from the Central!!!

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Im not a fan of the jerseys.

Also, Toews is our other rep. Yet, Nashville gets 3 guys going? Alright lol

Oh man... Only one Sedin is going. You mean they aren't connected at the hip??

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

Also LOL'ing that Anaheim gets 2 guys going. What is this roster?!

 

[Sarava]

Panarin deserved it more than Toews. Unless they were short a center. Didn't look at the rest of the roster.

Crosby left off the roster

As deserving as Crawford was of a spot over Rinne or Dubnyk.... I am glad he will get some damn rest for a minute

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Oy, a shame that Crow couldn't get in. He's deserved it.

And Toews.... look, I love Toews, he does a helluva lot for this team, and he will be a first ballot Hall of Famer after he retires and will get a statue in front of our arena before it's all said and done, but.... that's a reputation selection this year.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Crosby left off the roster

Holy....

Dis gun be gud

DD and Rinne over Crow??????

I'm so sick of Rinne; he's such a reputation coaster. What has he ever won? What series has he ever stolen for his team?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Cool to see Saad got in, though.

 

[sharkhawk]

DD and Rinne over Crow??????

I'm so sick of Rinne; he's such a reputation coaster. What has he ever won? What series has he ever stolen for his team?

Nashville got the 3 roster spots because it's in Nashville. I agree that Crow deserved to go, but do we really need to see him stopping breakaways?

 

[cassac]

Interesting that Toews is in and Crosby left off.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

And here's the thing.... while I wish that Crow got the recognition he deserves, I'm actually pretty happy we don't have to subject him to even light-hearted prolonged 3 on 3 hockey. Plus, dude deserves a break of any kind.

 

[clydesdale line]

Pretty crazy this will be Backstrom's first ASG.

Hate Toews being in. He deserves rest more than any Hawk (not as deserving anyways even though he's been a god in 3v3) and Crawford actually deserved it this year.

 

[Cyber]

You guys are probably right but I'm still sick of Rinne. Send Allen instead. Or even Varly.

 

[bwana63]

Crow hosed. New format is a joke.

 

[clydesdale line]

Not a bad list at all though. Some guys probably shouldn't be there but others who are very deserving got in. HF main board might be more subdued this year.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Went to the main board with high expectations for some fun, it's rather lame so far I think everyone realizes Toews shouldn't be in there, but the All-Star game in general is such a joke that they don't really care that much.

 

[MTP]

Toews being named is a joke, I can think of three or four other Hawks that are more deserving than him this year.

Also, lol @ Crosby being left off.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Panarin deserved it more than Toews. Unless they were short a center. Didn't look at the rest of the roster.

Outside of draws, there aren't centers in 3 on 3.

Toews-Kane

Outside of draws, there aren't centers in 3 on 3.

Yeah, but there are so few puck battles that initial possession off the face off becomes more important.
