GDT: All Star Game

[DearDiary]

Not trying to brag here, but I didn't watch a single minute of either of the 3 games

 

[yada]

I have only watched the first 2 games and i enjoyed it. Seeing great 8 and the kid play together like they did made this all star excellent to me. Format sucks and it would have been better had we had traditional 5 on 5 east vs west but it was still enjoyable for me.

Somehow I forgot it was 3v3 until just before the game started. I was kinda bummed even though 3s is exciting.

Maybe I'm just too old school and miss the 90s All-Star games.

he literally has multi



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

7 goals and 33 points in 39 playoff games is not performing.

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

Might as well have just asked Backstreet boys or Britney Spears to sing at this point

Britney would of been sick. NHL wound let of been able to afford her.

 

[DaGap]

holy f***.

I wonder why the NHL is down 22%

 

[Laus723]

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.

You’ve been around for 9 years, how do you know so little about the NHL? No NHL fan? There’s fans from all over North America that come to Panther games, sooooo wrong.

The game’s grown here BECAUSE of the Panthers, so wrong again. I’ll let you research how it’s no in colleges, schools, more rinks than ever.

holy f***.

I wonder why the NHL is down 22%

Clearly because of the All-Star weekend?

Why do hockey fans whine so much? I don’t get it.

Has there ever been a fight during an All-Star Game?

 

[behemolari]

Has there ever been a fight during an All-Star Game?

Has there ever been anything real during it?

 

[Cloned]

This seems completely counterintuitive, but the league needs to go back to 5v5 for the ASG.

3v3 is BORING when the players are going at like 20% (if that). It’s slow. It’s also boring because individual skills get taken for granted; passes look easy, goals look easy. You actually get MORE potential for better plays 5v5 because a good pass looks better when it’s threaded through 3 players, a good goal is more exciting when a player has to beat 2 or 3 players to score.

Has there ever been anything real during it?

Gordie Howe and Gus Mortson fought at the 1948 ASG.

 

[SatanicToedrag]

Has there ever been a fight during an All-Star Game?

When John Scott beat the living shit out of Patrick Kane

 

[Tofveve]

I have to say I really like Jennifer Botteril though. Lovely person.

I attended live in person (paid $299 for a last minute ticket on 8 rows from the glass) and the best thing about the afternoon was the live performance by Fall Out Boy lol.

The intensity of the game on-ice... was below a morning skate.

The arena, crowds, and facilities were great though. Mascots were having a blast entertaining and interacting closely with the crowd.

The Florida Panthers Dance team... uh... felt out of place.

 

[NorCalhockey]

Two things:
1) I understand giving the MVP to the local guy (Tkachuk) but Owen Nolan wasn’t given MVP when the ASG was at San Jose the first time SJ hosted. This was the game where Nolan “called” his shot on the way to a hat trick.
2) when ESPN interviewed Larkin after the game, behind him was someone holding a mic with Sky Sports and I’m just shocked a sports network in Britain would care about this non game! (Maybe they were there to see what Boehly was talking about saying the EPL should have a North versus South ASG!).

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

This ASG was off the charts, whoever thought of showing NHL players skill on the golf course should be given a raise. Maybe next year we see them shooting hockey pucks down a bowling alley.

Never turned on the TV. Now begins the war for the Cup.

 

[Tutu to]

I know ppl are blaming the league which is fair but certain players just love being corn balls. Pasternak, Marner and the Tkachucks are everything wrong with the modern NHL.

As long as you had a good time, that’s all that matters.

Guys shooting at swimboards and the golf course were funny. The fastest skater and the hardest shooter should always be there although both were a bit let downs this year. Just get rid of that stupid game.

The mvp was already voted on before nolan scored the 3 goal to complete the hat trick. The winner (recchi?) had also already scored a hat trick.

Really weird coincidence that you brought up Owen Nolan, from Northern Ireland, and totally unrelated decades later… Sky Sports and British interest in the game.

One thing for sure though, they’re not making new fans from the ASG. They need to go back to 5 on 5 teal versus purple imo.

 

[Yall are crazy]

7 goals and 33 points in 39 playoff games is not performing.

33 point in 39 games....7 goals from someone who is not a goalscorer and always has just one round to play. Do you mean yourself? Don't act dumb

 

[NorCalhockey]

Dumb that they didn't wait a little longer to choose MVP because it looked weird that the LOCAL GUY - who scored a hat trick - didn't get the vote.
But whatevs, this is a meaningless "game". I wonder though if each member of the winning team keeps his share of the $1M or gives it to charity?

the AHL skills comp has been 100x better than the NHL
