GDT: All Star Weekend

[BonkTastic]

Those jersey look like they were made for Motocross

I'm not watching... is Toews the captain of Team Monster Energy Drink, or Team Fox Racing Co.?

Toews is team Monster I believe.

 

[Vaclav Varada]

That was actually pretty awesome despite the hosts. They should just let the drunks interview the other drunks. What could go wrong?

 

[Baby Ryan]

Despite the awful announcers, the players really made this worthwhile

Glad I watched it. Gave me a good laugh

 

[OttawaOilers]

Go Team Foligno!

 

[starling]

They've separated Hoff and Ryan. Now it's even more useless.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Byfuglien looks like he eats a small child before every game. He's HUGE.

He's definitely big...but also slimmed down a lot compared to those summer photos that were circulating over the past few years. He's not a 300-pounder anymore.

And yes, the jerseys really suck.

And maybe I missed something big, but I didn't see Lundqvist on the selections....or am I just blind?

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Anyone know the blond?

Buff is probably the kinda guy that would balloon up to 400 pounds if he's not careful. He's just a mammoth, slow metabolism.

The girl in the white dress was blessed.

Meh. Preferred the blond.

Maybe the Columbus board will know them. I went to school with one one if the presenters when the game was in ottawa

 

[Back in Black]

Anyone know the blond?

If your talking about the host in the black dress, she works for the NHL Network channel, which is 418 or 508 on Rogers. Can't think of her name now, but she was here live in Ottawa during our All-Star weekend too.

I guess I'll watch a bit of the skills today!

 

[KarlssonMarx]

I thought the draft was surprisingly entertaining. Made me miss Foligno. The guy is such a joker. Loved the Kessel-Seguin trade.
Agreed that the host was pretty terrible though. Duthie would've made it way better

 

[Upgrayedd]

The girl in the white dress was blessed.

Both women did an amazing job.....amazing!

 

[Xamar*]

The NBA all star game is 3x what the NHL'S is

 

[Karlsson2Turris*]

Hoffman selected for the skating competetion and Ryan for accuracy

Hoff will also be stick handling in relay vs Kane.
Also both will be in shootouts

rookies are only ones that want to go.

They should move the All-star game and combine it with the Winter Classic.

Move it to the first weekend in January.

Do the draft before hand and then announce them on the ice for the Skills competition on the Friday night.

Saturday night have the All-star game.

Sunday have the Winter Classic outdoors in the same city as the host of the all-star game.

Giver every team the Monday off.

Fewer tired players. Bigger event. Teams not playing in the Winter Classic still get a break.

I like all of this.

 

[OD99]

ooof that blonde!

That brunette's white dress is barely keeping the seams together.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Getzlaf is pretty funny.

Lmao, Ovechkin stole the show though, absolutely hilarious.

Doughty also seems like a blast to be around.

Toews-Getz-Nash were chirping back and forth with Foligno and Doughty all night hahaha excellent selections for captains.

 

[Karlsson2Turris*]

Guys like Vrbata, Faulk, RNH, and Forseberg were really boring imo

Good thing Ovi wasn't "injured"

 

[Back in Black]

1/2 hour to go before the Skills Comp!

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

lol sportnet with so many mic issues

 

[Karlsson2Turris*]

this is so cheesy. The one in Ottawa was way better

 

[OmniSens]

Ryan with the "A"? A little rub to Neil and Phillips
