Looks like Larkin to Tampa

Why doesn't this stupid league go to a 30 or 45 min West vs East 3v3 format?

It would be onesided

Wouldn't be possible without posts like yours.

Larkin robbed and Ullmark's shut out in an All Star game was the 2nd biggest shock

He only faced 6 shots though.

The lower bowl looked fairly empty for the final game.

Well when Defenseman can't play the body they lose a lot of options to play defense.

Who says they can't? It's all about effort and will. If one guy decides to play something that resembles real hockey and just don't give a damn about what any other players might say to him, the rest would most likely follow.

Metro vs Atlantic was the real final, this is embarrassing. Central & Pacific should be ashamed of themselves for both the first game and this game. All those players should be fined & suspended, and Home ice for the SCF should automatically be handed to the East this year.

Considering how 5 teams in the East top the league, it already has...

The games weren't perfect but way more enjoyable than last night.

The Crosby OV connection was my favourite.

It’s been literally the only thing on tv for 2 days lol

Tkachuk is the hometown guy.............except he's been there for 5 minutes, no NHL fan knows what city the Panthers actually play in, and few people in Southern Florida even know they have an NHL team.

Watched the highlights. Guys aren't even trying.

What a waste of time.

 

[violaswallet]

Tkachuk did a really good job with Florida today: said all the right things, pumped up the captain, and has been super active with promoting the team.

He's adding so much off-the-ice value to the team that it's insane. It is what is needed for hockey to thrive in South Florida.

Just watched some competition highlights having not watched in years, and…this is embarrassing. It’s a show - and it’s horrific

The genuine amazement at Nurse’s sister (I assume?) pulling a legit Forsberg (Should be Nilsson, but…) is shark jumping cringe.

The format is done.

 

[sinDer]

Why do you watch it then? It's not for you, it's to attract new fans

I’m not watching it.

I turned on the TV last night and tried it…After 5 minutes of watching Ovi’s kid skating around I had enough lol

ASG is for the children.. same as Wu-Tang

 

[blundluntman]

Jesus, Larkin's interview was staler than a dead piece of bark on a tree.

 

[OkimLom]

The NHL has to be the worst professional sports league in promoting and showcasing their players' skill playing their sport. Everything the league does feels so amateurish.

 

[sabremike]

The whole thing just felt so....

Giraffeless.

 

[Yall are crazy]

he literally has multi

Now if only he could perform in the playoffs

Now if only he could perform in the playoffs.

he has multiple times. Literally stop with this untrue lazy narrative that he chokes every playoff.

Glad to see you’re huffing, puffing, and sulking about Florida while everyone is having fun.

He only faced 6 shots though.

I mean in a 10 minute period that's averaging 36 shots/game.

The whole thing was an embarrassment. This nonsense makes the NHL look like a bush league and does not do one thing to sell or promote the league.

This was pure garbage!

I think Larkin wants to play in Toronto. He did say playing with Marner was the highlight of his trip.
