@Bones45

This is entirely on you

You tempted the Bailey Gods and Mat paid the price. You know Bailey is the Patron Saint of small puck targets!

Damn

“How does it feel feel to be a millionaire?”

I think he knows all about that.

 

[Bones45]

Subban is such a tool. But that was fun.

Barzal held his own. Would've won if he hit on his greatest gift--passing. He was built for these kinds of competitions. As is Sorokin; pure skill.

Always appreciated the skills competition b/c they actually try. ASG...

I'm sure everyone has had amazing hockey experiences; playing, and as a spectator. I've had both, as a spectator, beyond NYI experiences, here's mine.

Drove down to Raleigh with a die-hard NYI fan (I played pick-up with him) friend for the AS event. Media event the first day (with a history of hockey tour, players walking around the floor, media, players frolicking the whole 9 yards), skills the second, game the third; I had some kind of weekend hopper pass. Talked to Brian Burke, Brendan Shanahan, and of course, Michael Grabner, randomly on the concourse; Grabner was so enamored by being at the AS event (spoke to him the longest). In that one microcosm of a conversation, truly a nice guy. Burke was as smug as can be, no surprise. Due to the location, they had basically a carnival going on the first day; really fun. Everything a carnival offered, with a hockey theme. At the game I met an awesome couple from Dallas, I was thankful b/c the game was, well, an AS game. They had driven from Dallas to attend. Hockey memoirs.

And Ray Ferraro has no business even commenting on an All Star game.

If the players just embraced it instead of moping about it'd be way more fun. Kudos to Barzal for going straight at Shesterkin for the fans. That's the type of thing that will keep it from being a snooze fest.

The draft yesterday was still a disaster but this competition was much better than previous years with less ridiculousness included. Now just get rid of Messier.

 

[Isles Junkie]

wait, that million goes to McDavid? Not like a charity of his choice? That's kind of annoying to me.

I couldn't tell if Shesterkin was focused with his helmet on or just angry. You had to know that these guys decided this beforehand. Barzal did look like he actually enjoyed the skills competition compared to a few of the guys like Kucherov and Leon.
