[Paralyzer]

well deserved.

All-Star game used to be much more interesting in the traditional format. This kind of shinny stuff is a travesty.

3 on 3 hockey really is just crap.

These games feel so fixed, of course both go to the SO and of course McDavid and Matthews won.

It's

well deserved.

That's a joke right?? It was shinny hockey with nobody trying . A guy on his team had more points than him. The have him am mvp nod because it was in toronto and mcdavid dominated skills contest the night before. The toronto media are quite pathetic and so was the allstar game. It was embarrassing to watch. And yes to conclude matthews deserved just a kick in the ass for that stupid earing. But mvp?? Lol.lol.lol

He's right. What are Hertl, Boner, or the entire Maple Leaf and Canucks frat houses doing at the all-star game?

I actually like most of the stuff leading up to the actual all star game. If only they could make that aspect good. Skills comp was great, they improved something I’ve always enjoyed.

The draft is a cool idea but something needs to change about the draft and the game itself.

I actually found the all star game entertaining lol. Might be way in the minority but it's all in good fun.

Problem with the draft was they all drafted their teammates. it was like high school when you pick all your friends in gym class lol

 

[tiger_80]

Remember, this is Toronto's Stanley cup

Team Matthews finally delivered after 50 years of futility!

why the fan vote has to go let a panel of hockey greats fill out the rest of all stars and no more every team gets a player even though they are not worthy

 

[tiger_80]

Team Matthews win, and he is the MVP.

Shocking!

Took Vezina too!

Talks are ongoing if there will be a Civic holiday only tomorrow in TO, or if they should extend it to Tuesday as well, and there are a few disagreements as to the exact parade route, but all the details should be finalized by this evening. Parades in TO and Van in Feb of the same year, exciting times we live in.

Should be largest forehead award

According to this home clip, Matthews and his dad might be related to Phil Kessel too

Here's the source of the historical reference

Just went to Leaf site and saw some comments. Some of them are actually thinking this game is a springboard to the cup, if you can believe it. No hitting, 3 on 3, no intensity, no checking, etc, etc. And they think it actually means something for their team. It's like when the Leafs finished near the bottom of the standings every year (while the Oilers kept winning the cup), but Rick Vaive and company would always win the summer baseball tournaments, and Leaf fans were ecstatic.
