GDT: All Star Weekend- Team Toews vs. Team Foligno

[Rubber Biscuit]

Didn't see a thread or anything, unless I missed it somewhere else.

Draft is tonight at 8, skills comp tomorrow (Saturday) at 7, game Sunday at 5 all on NBCSN.

Bergy is the only representative from the B's.

I usually really enjoy the all star stuff, but the roster this year is just so bad.

I will be the first to say whoopty flippin' doo.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Will lol if Bergy gets selected for the shootout.

I also can't imagine a game where Bergeron doesn't have his compete level at 200%. Will be weird to see (if he does ease up, that is).

 

[Scotto74]

Going to be weird without Z winning the hardest shot

See if Weber can beat it, or come close.. Weber is playing right?

Not much can beat watching Kessel be the last guy picked in the draft that one year I didn't watch (but saw it on replays innumerable times).

I hate the All Star games.

only because I was googling the spelling of whoopty

I`ll be watching zero minutes of this, rather watch re-runs of Perfect Strangers

I hate them as well. I don't mind the skills comps though.

The only all-star memory worth remembering.

It would be so much cooler if they just made the Winter Classic the all-star game.

the coolest thing would be to scrap the All-Star game, just continue with the regular season so this farce of a weekend can be forgotten forever

 

[LouJersey]

The ALL star game should be this way, and always said it..

Division vs Division on Saturday... Winners face off Sunday..

You now have more guys in it..and I think it would be more interesting...

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

"Team Foligno". Please. Talk about an an underwhelming display by the NHL. No Chara in the hardest slapshot? This year there will be a big * next to it even if there are a few people who still care about it.

That shootout thing is embarassing anyways. Putting on capes and such? Please. Only the NHL could ruin something meant to show off pure skill. The only thing worth watching will be the shooting competition but no point even watching that either.

Luckily we have a week off for this mess.

I liked it when I was a kid, so i think its good in that aspect.

Attract the younger crowd to the sport.

Foligno? Nothing against him, but why on earth is he one of the captains for the NHL's showcase weekend?

Its in Columbus.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Its in Columbus.

ha, shows how much I care about the all star game nowadays myself, I was wondering why Foligno was a captain too.

The only all-star memory worth remembering.

I also remember Carey Price almost spewing his drink when Chara picked him for his team.

This.

I guess I'll watch tomorrows show but the game is too boring.

 

[Estlin]

To give the game some meaning, Don Cherry once suggested that the winning conference of the All Star Game get home ice advantage in the Stanley Cup Final.

What about players that play for teams that they know won't make the playoffs though, and don't put forth the effort to win

How many teams with bonafide all-star talents arent at least in the hunt?

I know that every team has at least one representative, but that idea itself is dumb, and should be gotten rid of.

Price was pretty sauced that night.
