GDT: All-star weekend

[Richer's Ghost]

I have no idea why I watch this every year lol. Why do the same guys get to do multiple events, Hall shot two pucks from opposing blue line, pretty lame.

If you're going to do that, open up the net to be top half open or something. It's a ridiculous concept to begin with - like anyone is shooting pucks from far blue lines ever except for time running out or empty net. "Ok, pick top corner now."

I'd rather see fastest skater, hardest shot, accuracy events only and have everyone on each squad participate in 3 elimination rounds cutting out the bottom half until you have your final 4 facing off in a final where winner takes 3 points, 2nd 2 points, 3rd 1 point.

4 events, 6 points per

Less switching setups between events, more participants, more action and most importantly more actual competition.

Sorry goalies - you can pass the pucks out during the accuracy event I guess.

Yeah I have no idea why they'd have a Score-O type deal, just silly. Stick with fastest skater, hardest shot, 4 corners, maybe guys shooting against the goalies like they used to, throw in some passing and stick handling also. Try to get the most amount of guys involved in multiple events. Instead we have goalies shooting pucks, D-men taking breakaways and Hall sitting on his ass the entire event, just pathetic.

All I could think about with the goalies shooting was where the hell was that when Marty played?

He and maybe Turco were the only guys that could of done this years ago and scored.

Maybe a few guys even before that, like Hextall.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

This was probably the least interesting, most uneventful skills comp. ever. That was awful.

The best thing that happened was a goalie who was only there because he plays for Arizona lucking out at Score-O.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

I didn't think it was possible to make 3 on 3 boring but somehow - they managed.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Hall a +2 so far.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Hope Bastian can be like Simmonds.
And not Hoeffel.....

 

[Devils Dominion]

Seth Jones has bobbled every pass tonight.

 

[Richer's Ghost]

I wonder if they'll pull Rask.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Beauty goal by Hall. Maybe he should take more faceoffs / flirt with the idea of him playing center.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Gretzky is a bad coach.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Skating at Gazdic speed

 

[Bleedred]

Gretzky is a bad coach.

I think his tenure in Arizona might be why we won't see many superstar players turn head coaches. Bryan Trottier with the Rangers is another example, perhaps even recently with Patrick Roy as well.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Why are they playing the NYb goal song?

Castron made an excellent draft pick in Atkinson.

 

[Better Call Sal]

At least we won something.

 

[GentlemanOfLeisure]

Was Niedermayer in a Ducks jersey?

 

[TheUnseenHand]

The East game wasn't bad except Crosby and Ovi. That line sucked. Otherwise that game resembled hockey more than the West.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Was Niedermayer in a Ducks jersey?

Nope. Devils.

 

[Monsieur Verdoux]

Was Niedermayer in a Ducks jersey?

Nope. Devils jersey.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Was Niedermayer in a Ducks jersey?

Devils, deservedly so.

 

[Based Anime Fan]

So I've been watching and Hall has ridiculous chemistry with Jones.

What would it take for us to get him from CBJ?

 

[Devils Dominion]

Just give Hall some skilled linemates and offensive dman and he puts up 80+ points.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Faulk is a beast. Wonder what it would take to get him from the Canes. Remember hearing that Canes might sell hard.
