Post-Game Talk: 2019 NHL All-Star Game

[Balls Mahoney]

Starting now

Anyone else watching this thing?

I'll update this with info if it's necessary but figure it would be good not to clog up the Around The League thread.

Sidenote: Auston Matthews looks like he's never had a joyous moment in his life.

Pettersson stuck playing defense with doughty trying to be a super hero forward.

This 3 on 3 format is like watching basketball.

 

[Fire Benning]

Brutal backcheck by EP on Scheifele's goal. Might be getting benched.

 

[clunk]

That was one of the most cringiest ASGs I've ever seen.

Pettersson didn't really seem to know how much to try, so he looked pretty subpar out there, and he didn't even get much time anyways.

Disappointing but I'm glad he got the experience of being around some of the league's best.

 

[Melvin]

I really, really wish 3 on 3 would just f*** off and die already.

I just think he was showing tons of respect to his linemates. When he was put out with Gaudreau and McDavid he hung back and played D for F's sake... oh well.

Had 4 shots though and was only a -1 on that team. 2nd best behind Karlsson who was even.

McDavid and Draisaitl were a combined -7.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

That was f***ing boring. Just no one giving an ounce of f***s.

Just do World vs North America again 5 v 5 with 20 min periods. I hate these 3 v 3 20 min scrimmages.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

This is kind of like watching the NBA All-Star Game if they played H-O-R-S-E after a night of drinking instead of a game of basketball.

 

[Fire Benning]

I really, really wish 3 on 3 would just **** off and die already.

It's great when the games actually mean something.

 

[Melvin]

It's great when the games actually mean something.

No it is even worse.

 

[Star Ocean]

Brutal backcheck by EP on Scheifele's goal. Might be getting benched.

Just -1 in 10 goal against. I found worse forwards out there. Oh well on to the real games in february.

This was a waste of time.

 

[Fire Benning]

No it is even worse.

Disagree mel.

 

[Star Ocean]

I dont think EP was benched in a jippo game but karlsson, doughty and burns played more than half the game. Kinda hard to get icetime.

 

[Tryamkin]

This is kind of like watching the NBA All-Star Game if they played H-O-R-S-E after a night of drinking instead of a game of basketball.

Except you would be watching the WNBA All Star game and their lay-up contest.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Don't you dare sully the name of Liz Cambage or Brittney Griner in this temple.

 

[bbud]

Gary your f***ing joke knowledge of hockey provided the stupidest version of pro all star game I've ever tried to watch

 

[EpochLink]

This all star game was grade A trash.

 

[Nucker101]

Peters was trying to tire out the Sharks, his Flames main Pacific division foes.

 

[Fire Benning]

This all star game was grade A trash.

Just this one?

 

[Jyrki21]

I dont think EP was benched in a jippo game but karlsson, doughty and burns played more than half the game. Kinda hard to get icetime.

I know if I paid money to watch a one-time event, I'd sure like to see... the same guys I'd see at any home game?

Ha, lowest ticket cost for this was $160+. I was thinking about that too.

Still, hopefully the fan experience and being able to see these guys scrimmage would be worth it?

I don't know, the NHL is definitely the most gimmicky of the big four pro sports leagues.

 

[bbud]

Just this one?

No but this one was absolutely the worst rendition ever a total mockery of what the game is.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Looks like I picked a good year to not watch.
