Ducky Posted January 27, 2017 Report Posted January 27, 2017 Kaner got two goals and an assist too. Still lost though. 5.25m AAV and 3rd liner.

Goalie Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 His injury was worse than expected probably. Nhl Top 100 revealed Toews on it. P Kane. Duncan Keith. Ovi Crosby Jagr. Teemu. Hawerchuk and Malkin both screwed over.

Ducky Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 Can't believe those two are not on there.....looking over the list it is hard to say anyone shouldn't be on there though. Who comes off? Gartner maybe? I noticed they have at least 3 goalies from the 70s?

bustamente Posted January 28, 2017 Report Posted January 28, 2017 Hawerchuk is top 20 all time scoring and has done that with the 2nd least amount of games played.

I haven't watched it in years but my son was very interested. I was curious to watch Laine. Only the NHL can take the most skilled players in the league and produce such an unwatchable product. The pace was so slow, the events were awkward and the commentary uninspired. Luckily, I didn't have to sit through the whole thing. What was with that shooting competition from the blue lines? That doesn't demonstrate skill. You don't provide any opportunity for players to warm up or get the feel of the puck? They ended up with Suter not able to hit the net from the blue line and everyone else looked too "cold". I thought PKs interview was good. I'm not a big PK fan but he gets it.

I'm not a big fan of it, but its just a way to add a day to the AS weekend. I watched it was my grandma cuz she's a hardcore hockey nut and she enjoyed it for the most part. the usual skill competitions of accuracy, speed and hardest shot are still alright to watch. That blue line shooting was pretty boring aside from the 3 or 4 shots that went in, including arizona's goalie making that 5 hole shot you usually see fans try from center for like a million bucks, the fact he made it from the other side of the rink in such a small hole is incredible. That relay event was alright too, but they could have added some more to it, seemed like just under 2 mins per team is too fast The shootout event was the worst, though that shot by brent burns was pretty sweet, but went off the crossbar IMO I dont like that they split the event into 4 teams (Metro, Atlantic, Pacific and Central) though i suppose todays 3 on 3 might serve it better, but the skills should still be eastern and western conferences
Atomic Posted January 29, 2017 Report Posted January 29, 2017 The Skills competition is for the kids. They love it. Yeah it's kinda lame but not everything has to be tailored to the middle-aged hardcore sports fan. bearpants 1
sweep the leg Posted January 29, 2017 Report Posted January 29, 2017 Imo Hawerchuk & Malkin are both better than Lafontaine.
Goalie Posted January 29, 2017 Report Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) The Commentary made it drag even more than it did. It's interesting to me how they pretty much ignored talking about Laine. I also think the shootout was ruined. I'd rather see all of them not just 2 divisions... the only guy who seemingly tried to entertain was Brent Burns. Only guy who tried something different in the shootout. It almost seems like you aren't allowed to have personality in the Nhl. I get them hyping mcdavid and Crosby but man they lack personality. The Auston Matthews love affair from cbc/sportsnet was at times nauseating but not surprising. Again tho very little personality. I also think it's obvious that the guys don't try at all. I'll just add... I hate Ryan Kesler... he's such a ****** but the crowd booing and him blowing kisses... man the guy Is such a good heel.

The Unknown Poster Posted January 29, 2017 Author Report Posted January 29, 2017 Yeah I found it boring and their effort to create events seems so convoluted. The best events are still the traditional ones. And yes the fact the players don't care at all brings it way down. Now watching the All Star game and after one period the NHL has made three on three look as boring as possible. Goalie 1
FrostyWinnipeg Posted January 29, 2017 Report Posted January 29, 2017 The only way the ASG can be worth watching is if they went back to the old Conference style with the winner getting 4 games in the SCF.
The Unknown Poster Posted January 29, 2017 Author Report Posted January 29, 2017 Don Cherry savaging the ASG and he's completely correct. No effort. IC Khari and Goalie 2
Floyd Posted January 30, 2017 Report Posted January 30, 2017 Anyone else think that the fix was in so that Crosby's team met McDavid's in the 'final'?

The fact it's so terrible only kids could enjoy it is indicative of the issue. It's like loving the NBA and then watching the Globetrotters. Its for sponsors. That's why the players don't care. And don't try. And it's why it sucks. JCon and Goalie 2
