Post-Game Talk: 2019 NHL ALL STAR GAME - NBC, CBC, TVAS

[ON3M4N]

100%.

Even with a fan vote at least the MLB gets it right, right?

The NHL has to be second worst after the NFL.

NFL is light years worse though lol...talk about guys not giving a shit haha

 

[BruinsFTW]

They need to ditch the every team needs to be represented and take voting away from fans. I want to see real all-stars, not a popularity contest like I'm in ****ing high school again

This. Make it actually mean something again. Another reason I think players don’t really give two shits. Why should fans have vote? Like come on. So ridiculous. Also ditch the 3v3 it’s f***in lame watching goalies just get hung out to dry every play. And seeing a bunch of guys floating around waiting for a pass. It’s not exciting at all, and surprisingly boring. This is worse than NA vs the World...East vs West 5v5 had some epic games in the 80s/90s and I guess some in 00s

Honestly they could do away with the game and just make more skills Boston stuff

I can see the injury excuse used more there. But players “taking it easy” in an NFL game is the definition of why bother. So boring. You can tell nobody gives a shit about the Pro bowl n shit

Yeah, one nice pass like I said.

Forgive me for not getting excited for 2 assists in a pathetic effort. Pacific vs Atlantic would be a total snooze fest. The fans would probably leave.

The first half was the closest any two conference teams have been in years....
It did not become a blowout until Howard went in.

I thought they still did this, but it's not televised?

 

[Gordoff]

What's with the "sweet" rainbow blueline...
Kinder gentler Bettman *****~!

I don't know tbh but yes I haven't seen one on TV in years

Those were always great. I love alumni stuff. Now THAT I can take guys floating and not wanting to get hurt. It’s just good ol fun.

Who didn’t expect that tho? The first was great but I knew once Howard went in forget it.

 

[BruinsFTW]

Oh god, another NHL musical act. Time to mute everyone.

 

[Gordoff]

I remember All Star games back in the early seventies that were played with some pride and enthusiasm. This display was a joke.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

I don't know tbh but yes I haven't seen one on TV in years

I would be more excited to see some old faces. The problem is most of them can't really play anymore and the games are Beer League all star level. Not gonna draw advertising $$$

But I would pay to go to one.

 

[mar2kbos]

What the hell am I watching, yup click back to Celtics

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

If your going to put names, JUST PUT SMALL LAST NAMES ABOVE HELMETS. SMALL.

NO BARS< NO ICONS< NOTHING ELSE CLUTTERING THE SCREEN

 

[BruinsFTW]

I think the skills competition lacks. If your gonna do that, I want the best of the best.

I want to see guys like Chara, Weber in hardest shot..

Larkin fastest skater etc...

Not just whoever got voted in. It’s a joke..

I dunno how’d they’d do this...hold it individually with teams and send the top guys from each team for an event? I dunno. The players don’t give any f***s about that stuff like fans so we’re lucky we get what we get. But can’t help feel I’m being cheated knowing guys like Chara b Weber still play but their all star days are behind them. Shame

 

[missingchicklet]

I'm clearly not part of the demographic the NHL is going for tonight. Hope they lure in plenty of middle school girls with little to no knowledge of hockey and the attention span of a flea. Never even heard of that musical act. Feeling old.

What band was playing? Turned it off

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

This whole thing makes me want to tell a Millenial to get off my lawn.

 

[BruinsFTW]

I’d imagine every NBC game is cluttered with this stuff next year. That seems to be what they said..

I mean sure seeing how fast someone was skating is cool, or how fast a shot was. A small thing under the score is fine..

I don’t need names plastered above players like it’s a video game tho. It’s too damn much. And unnecessary. I really doubt it changes much for an average fan either. Doubt it brings many new fans.

The puck tracker meh, I can ignore it. Doesn’t bother me much. After awhile I didn’t even notice. Tho I don’t need it with HD who needs that?

More statistics are great, I just don’t want them all over my screen during live play.

 

[BruinsFTW]

What band was playing? Turned it off

Wasn’t a band, was a female singer. Didn’t bother listening to who it was. It sucked like usual.

 

[BruinsFan1990]

Was thinking about flying out to St Louis for next year's. Whos with me?

 

[Aeroforce]

There was no band playing. It was a female singer and a bunch of guys posing with instruments, all pretending with a backing track playing.

It’s in St Louis next year? Why lmao
