They still do this?

 

[Allie Kitsune]

Just as long as Wilson doesn't injure Sid.

"But they're on the same team!", you say.

Why would that stop Wilson?

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

I don't care what anyone says. I will always think All Star games are fun.

When I was a kid, it was before the internet. My family didn't have cable. So when the All Star game came on network TV, I'd LOVE watching the player introductions because every player was a surprise to me. I'd always be hoping to see my favorite player introduced next.

I like legit skills comps. All star games? Naw. Scrimmage efforts are boring.

Sid was the only All-Star not at the draft because he’s training in Montana like the psycho he is.

 

[Rossi Rat]

Tate McRae is a HUGE star.

 

[Turin]

Sid was the only All-Star not at the draft because he’s training in Montana like the psycho he is.

Too busy so he sent a child-legate in his stead. Boss.

Can someone tell me why there is 6 Canucks at the ASG???? only 1 Penguin.

Possibly Jake. He's top 25 in scoring among league forwards, 29th overall.

I’d prefer nobody.

Is this indeed the case? Why is he training in Montana as opposed to being at the game like the rest of the all stars? Or what's the story here?

Pretty much this.

Watched 3 minutes of the draft last night and that was enough. Genuine cringe that would make Pierre blush. Did they seriously ask Nate about dreaming about Sid? Someone fire that dude.

The skills comps might be worth watching. The scrimmage games are so ridiculously stupid. You can't do best on best mid-season with nothing on the line. It never works out.

If it's all about the kids then just have them host camps or something idk.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Seeing Michael Bublé faced on mushrooms while trying to conduct a press conference is probably way more entertaining than the rest of the proceedings will be.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

I couldn’t care less and didn’t watch. But wake up this AM and my girlfriend (doesn’t care about sports) is actually into it, getting TikToks on her page and asking me questions because of McCrae, Bieber and Buble.

So I guess good job NHL?

The new theme song is pretty bangin' ngl:

Justin Bieber in that coat looks like my 5 year old nephew when he's wearing his dad's clothes for fun.

That's kind of the thing. Now every kid has a phone to watch as many highlights of their favorite player they want. Al star games are irrelevant simply because of the access people have.

... did he scream out "DRAGOOO!!!!!!!!!!" on top of a mountain?
