Anyone gonna watch all star stuff this weekend? Supposedly my area is gonna get hit by a snow storm sat which might keep me in so it might be o nthe docket. I do like the skills competition at least. The game is kind of meh and you don't miss much, but it's still better than most other major league all star games. NFL pro bowl is unwatchable

Way back when, you couldn't just watch all the teams in the league on TV, you just got the 6 teams that came to your local rink and that were on Local TV. Was an effort to let people in sayToronto watch a Gretzky or Selanne, and people in LA watch a Darryl Sittler or Lindros. Now a days its to grow the game to the younger generation, you know the kids under 10 or so. Everyone who watches the league regularly knows the game is a joke, but for an 8 yearold? Thats like a friggen dream come true, Crosby on a line with Ovechkin and Stamkos. | ||

Todd Nelson was great in Oklahoma and players coming up from the AHL consistently came in strong and got worse and worse the longer they stayed with the Oilers. The team's lack of scoring (seen throughout the lineup) is directly related to their impotence on the power-play. Once they get that figured out, they should earn a few more wins. It all leaves me a bit conflicted. It's been obvious to most who have watched the team consistently that they are not as bad as their record would indicate. Especially when compared to previous Oiler teams which landed 30th in the league and would have easily been 40th had there been more teams in the NHL. Much of me had hoped that luck would work against the team, they would maintain several roster holes which would anchor them down, and then luck into McDavid, fill the holes, and be a good team going forward. Either way, it's nice to watch some wins. But speaking of the Oilers, they are primed to lose Petry. It is so Oilers to spend time developing a young defensemen, have him emerge as your strongest option on a very weak defense, and then lose him as he enters his prime years. They have showed an apathy towards the player and no interest in re-signing him. Because Oilers. Petry will make a great Redwing. Im not blaming Perron. I just think the trade got a message through to the team. Todd Nelson is a big help too. I really hope he gets a fair shot. | ||

I won a dollar gambling last night on hockey so I am obviously in a hurry to return it back so was feeling irritated at the break. | ||

The NHL"s first all star games were benefit fundraisers for various players who had serious injuries playing. The very first game was for TOR's Ace Bailey in 1934. His #6 was retired that night in the gardens and the money was raised was given to him. There was another held in 1937 and then again in 1939. The game became annual until 1947. All money made on the game goes to the NHLPA Pension fund Source | ||

What makes a great deke is when they do something crazy and it works on a worlds best goalie trying. The shootout event was far better. Only great moment was when they brought Gaudreau up like the little kid and he pretended he couldn't skate, that was gold! That event is hilarious! Its like the dunk contest in the NBA all star game. The net should just be empty! | ||
