What's Metro in French?

métropolitain

See how it could be tough to figure it out?

 

[Honour Over Glory]

We're calling this entertainment, yeah?

It's failing.

I couldn't even recognize the word mate. Mind blown...............

Relax. It’s for the kids.

Relax. It’s for the kids.

They gotta play some music or hire better talent hyping the crowd is what I'm getting at. It just sounds too quiet for what the event is.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Hangover?

 

[dogthateats]

Should have threw/shot the baby

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Yikes

You know what MGK was the right call, he represents this perfectly and I don't mean that as a compliment.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

The looks on the players says it all.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Zegras understood the assignment.

 

[dogthateats]

The energy does seem off lol

 

[canadianguy77]

I just realized it’s been over 30 years since Pitt hosted the ASG. What gives?

I think the commentators keep trying to be the star of the show, but they are all just kinda cringe.

Let me just say if this is for the kids, it sucks. It's always kind of boring and odd. I get the kids love being there with their Dad. But the NHL always scraps from under the barrel for celebs for this.

Machine Gun Kelly as the musical talent was cringe af. I mean there's no other big nhl fan that's a musician? I don't buy that. Also look at this 21-22 thing.

If I was a kid watching this I'd probably ask my mum to let me play Nintendo instead.

I'm not a fan of the NBA anymore but the NBA Allstar game + skills comp is still fun to watch. This is....dreadful.

 

[canadianguy77]

Not sure who thought this up but that’s way too easy for an NHL player

The worst part of it is we have Sid and Geno and it would have been nice to see them host it at home but we'll never see it.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Zero trash talking for fun. Commentary is the loudest, yeesh.

As a non gambler this isn't all that fun. I guess some kids will like this that like blackjack? Sure why not.

 

[dogthateats]

They should have to do this while blackout drunk. Vegas style

Yeah I figured they’d get it right after the new arena was built in 2010. I wonder if no one lobbied for it?

I feel like they have? I recall hearing the Pens bid for it and lost it a few times to other teams. Unless I'm remembering incorrectly.


Also aren't there like famous people that love hockey and play it in LA? Bieber etc? Vegas should have gone bigger for this given its Vegas.

I feel like they never think grand enough for this event. This should be a spectacle and it always feels like it's half assed put together.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Keller is a player I'd love the Pens to get. There's a lot of talent there stifled in the worst hockey market in the NHL.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Eichel apparently will be cleared for contact after the ASB. That Vegas team might be sellers just to make him fit.

Just the tip.
