GDT: All-Star Weekend

[TheStranger]

so you agree with the nhl

It's sarcasm. The all-star weekend is a joke and an embarrassment as is. That they're concerned about it looking bad or whatever is hilarious.

Skills Comp Update: Duchene in fastest skater and NHL breakaway challenge. I always wanted to see what Duchene would do in the shootouts in one of these.

 

[ArWKo]

He should frankenstein a hockey stick onto a guitar and play guitar while taking the shot.

Is it over yet?

I think he is doing the shootout challenge c

Suggestions to improve this weekend:

- Hardest shot competition: Pluck 4 random junior goalies and put them in net. Not allowed to get out of the way.

- Breakaway challenge: Every player must "Linus Omark" and light their stick on fire. Those who don't score have to fight John Scott. Those who do score get to torch a goalie in the back of the leg

- Fastest skater: Each skater removes one blade of steel from a skate

- Shot accuracy: For each shot a player misses, they run the gauntlet up the boards. Players who go 4/4 get a signed John Scott All Star jersey

Let the games begin

Yes, that's what the breakaway challenge is.

Duchene didn't mess up on live television, that's a plus. Benn really ****ed up there.

They are two different events

 

[22FUTON9]

Didn't all the players do the shootout?

 

[bohlmeister]

explain

Going to guess something related to this.

 

[ArWKo]

There's this.

 

[Avs]

I think everyone does the "shootout".

The breakaway challenge is only a few selected on each team.

I thought Duchene was doing the creative breakaway thing. Is he?

I thought Duchene was doing the creative breakaway thing. Is he?

Yes, he's in the fastest skater and breakaway challenge competitions.

 

[TheStranger]

There's this.

I bet there are maybe 6 people in that crowd who know who Duchene is, and Lee Brice isn't one of them.

edit: The other players coming on stage was awkward AF

On NHL all-star weekend? Wasn't that even an ASG event?

 

[Taak19]

I didn't even see that. I was talking about the Benn/Duchene announcing who was going to be on stage next and Benn forgot his lines.

That's awesome though that they let him go out there and play. He must be having a blast.

I don't think that would change much. You don't need to be a hockey fan to go see the country music concert being put on because of the all-star weekend. There were probably already 100,000 people in Nashville as tourists without any connection to the all-star game.

I admit 6 might be a little low, was exaggerating a tad, but it's not like everyone there is a super dedicated hockey fan.

Was just watching some videos of him from 5 years ago, where he was playing guitar for some reporter and said he's never played in front of anyone just in his basement. He's come a long way

Duchene retiring from NHL to pursue country music. E4

On the Scott thing.

Not very impressed by Arizona management for not backing up their player and refusing to trade him.

About what I'd expect from management when it comes to their 'lesser' employees. Hope Arizona struggles without Scott in some small way. Really hoping for a Scott goal during the 3 on 3 competition.
