hardest shot. Any sport where you have to watch the event and then stare at a tiny screen to tell you the result gets knocked down a few pegs. And hardest shot is way worse than figure skating or downhill skiing -- at least in those sports there is an eye test telling you someone did good or bad, and the drama of falls. In NHL hardest shot, if there was no radar gun screen you would have literally no idea what you were watching.
shot. I mean you know when Chara shoots it's a rocket, but you don't know if it's faster than anyone else, and for the record Chara's shot has increased over 8mph in the past 6 years.
the accuracy is awesome too, as is the relay.
And to me this is the perfect place for a shootout competition, not to end the games, but that's another story.
maybe you need to play to appreciate the skills stuff, but I like it more than the AS game.
Since the Wales Conference all star jersey was Mike Bossy, this may be the moment to transition (or miller) a happy belated birthday to one of the greatest goal scorers of all time. Bossy turned 58 yesterday. Yeesh I am getting old.
Hopefully LOLak wears himself out this weekend. Hank will be nice and rested.
I thought you had money on LOLak?
Only once. Against LOLDevils because, well.. the Devils are fucking terrible.
The Devils to me are what the Redskins are to Greg. I just absolutely fucking hate that team, I hate everything about them. They can never lose enough for me to be happy. There is no team in the NHL I hate more than them.
The only part of the draft worth watching are the pretty girls escorting the picks up to the podium.
I'll probably catch some of the Skills Competition tomorrow.
I've never watched, but I'd think that the interesting part would be to see the guys who nobody wants. Vrbata should be the favorite for the last pick.
Shit, does Kessel look fat on the roster page. He totally also looks like he should have a Camel hanging out of his mouth. He's a Jay Cutler for the frozen pond. Link - ( New Window )
cams are a great idea, but a goalie in my men's league tried using one and it was knocked off in warm ups and we don't have people shoot nearly as hard as these guys.
So maybe the skaters they'll last longer but for us the goalies came off before the game even started.
Looks like he ate part of Tronno. Amazes me he's so fast. I can picture him blowing through a pack of Reds, drinking a coke, and getting back on the ice.
It's like the NBA 3-point contest or slam dunk contest but better.
Skills competition was the best part.
Also, seems like a LOT of players pulled out of the ASG this year.

I was thinking about checking out the fan stuff on Saturday. Nothing worthwhile except for the skills competition?

Tournaments are a great hockey tradition.
Yeah right, from playing 1 period over a span of 8 days... He'll be just fine for Tuesday

The fanfest is a lot of fun. I enjoyed that and the skills competition the best. The game itself is a snorefest.

Love the stat announced, halak and Islanders beat Rangers 3-0.
Isn't Shattenkirk from LI or somewhere local? He looks like Jay Mohr with a fatter head.
it was an extremely facetious jab. you can let the guard down this weekend. it's the all-star game.
No one wanted Lolak either ;)
Nash, Lolak and the future Ranger John Tavares all on the same team
