Tate McRae. But she was so nervous

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Tate McRae. But she was so nervous

Never heard of her.

 

[Canovin]

Never heard of her.

I've only heard of her from the All-Star draft. She mentioned she was a Flame fan

 

[Draiskull]

Tate McRae. But she was so nervous

She sucks ... hmmmmm

Tonight McD will show Barzal what speed is!
Hope he picks Talbot as the goalie to shoot against

 

[SK13]

I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to the skills competition lol.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to the skills competition lol.

It’s the only good thing about All star weekend

 

[SK13]

It’s the only good thing about All star weekend

I used to feel this way, but it's been unwatchable for so long now, I'm not used to caring enough to watch it at all.

These changes were much needed.

 

[LTIR]

It’s the only good thing about All star weekend

Give the winning team a prize of million dollars and they will play better.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Give the winning team a prize of million dollars and they will play better.

They have done that now for a few years IIRC

 

[Cloned]

Don’t be surprised if McDavid isn’t first or even second in fastest skater anymore.

He’s lost speed over the years but other areas of his game have gotten better.

Now watch him make this post look silly.

 

[Da McBomb]

I don't mind her and her music... and quite nice on the eyes too. Maybe one of Calgary's better citizens lol

Team McDavid looks the best to me... and that's not me trying to be biased

 

[Travis093]

I'd love to see a fastest skater whilst stickhandling the puck

I blame Gio

 

[Oilslick941611]

giant podium in the middle of the ice...anthem singers are on a carpet in the D zone.

Also the anthems are too long with all the vocal inflections, just sing the damn song and get it over with or better yet, just get rid of the them.

 

[Paralyzer]

I'm super pumped for this. I'll update the first post who wins.

Edit - <Sees a band> WAIT WHERE THE f*** IS THE SKILLS COMPETITON?!?!

 

[Leonardlizard]

This is already incredibly painful to watch

 

[Gnome17]

Is..this good?

This song feels downbeat to me..Shouldnt they play something that gets the blood pumping a bit?

 

[TheNumber4]

What band is this, just tuned in.

 

[RattsSSV]

What band is this, just tuned in.

The Glorious Sons.

 

[Leonardlizard]

They should compete for points that count towards the standings

 

[McHelpus]

Dude looks like a hobo yelling about he lost his job and they turned off his lights lool

 

[EnufAlready]

Terrible

 

[Gnome17]

Idk but theyre singing about how they lost their job and got hooked on oxy, and something about a sawed off shotgun.
