why does kesselOL look 40?

He's put on several pounds since the start of the seaon.

I enjoyed the thing, I don't get the asinine comments from some of you.

This whole event was disgusting. The whole idea was to embarrass the hell outta the last few players.

Overreact much? It was all in good fun. The players are all-stars, they were laughing, joking around and having a good time. You really think that any of them were genuinely upset for where they got picked in this meaningless draft?

I hope they drop this format. Kessell looked like he was about to cry.

He was smiling and laughing pretty much the whole time... at which point in this video do you think he's "about to cry"? http://video.nhl.com...tid=35&id=94869

I feel for the guy, he's been thru so much sht. It's not his fault he was traded for high end picks.

Oh boo hoo, that well-paid all-star athlete who also just received a new car for free must be so depressed about being pick last. Poor guy. Let's send him some flowers.

Another sh!t move by rat faced bettman. I'm surprised he didn't order Elias to be picked last.

When in doubt, blame Bettman!

devlman, you do realize, as the above poster stated, they're All Stars?

You going to feel sorry for the Hall of Famer who got the fewest votes to get into the Hall of Fame too? Yeah, that's sure an embarrassment.

Kessel had no qualms with being last picked, nor does his charity which just got $20,000 more donated to them.

This was an awesome way to do this, EVERYONE, including the Sedin twins, were happy and having fun. And if anyone has something to bitch about, its them since this is the first time they EVER have been on different teams.

Really cool how they announce the players and they skate out from behind the fog and the name and number is projected onto the fog also.

I like that.

[iamtheprodigy]

That smoke entrance thing they're doing is really cool.

[Quinn01]

I think they just showed the Bluejackets logo on the fog for Sharp instead of the Blackhawks.


Got chills watching Elias skate in. Representin'

Must've been the vodka last night.......

Must've been the vodka last night.......

That was a freaking hilarious sound byte by Duchene

[iamtheprodigy]

Are they really asking him what his strategy is for the speed skating? What do they expect him to say?

[devlman]

No I just feel bad for Kessell. When he was refusing to come down for the interview it honestly looked like he was gonna cry. Completely awkward. I bet you he gives away the car too. It'll only remind him of this embarrassment. They could have done this a little better. Yeah he makes millions but its hard not feel for the guy w the sh!t he's been taking.

What is Elias participating in?

Embarrassment?! Really?!

Wow, can we please stop with the theatrics as if this is the biggest disappointment since Ralph Cox was the last one cut before USA went on to win the gold in 1980?

And he's going to give the car away since he probably has a better one and knows someone who could use a new freaking car.

[iamtheprodigy]

He wasn't refusing, he just didn't hear. That happened a bunch of other times too. Did you watch the whole thing?

Or maybe he'll give it away because he already has his dream car. Or his two dream cars. Or three.

Yeah he makes millions but its hard not feel for the guy w the sh!t he's been taking.

Actually it's really, really easy not to feel bad for him. You seem to be the only one that does.

What is Elias participating in?

I think he's doing accuracy shooting and one of the other ones.

Elias is only in the Skills Challenge Relay now, apparently

[iamtheprodigy]

Going at the same time for the accuracy shooting isn't working. That's twice they've messed up now.

[jagknife]

They need a horn as a signal when they're ready to go, these refs are the same idiots who actually officiate games so you know someone is going to get killed relying on these inconsistent buffoons.

Kessel lost this challenge, gotta feel sorry for him.... Same with Henrik as he didn't get to shoot against his brother. These poor guys are having the times of their lives, but boy, must feel like crap going last in the draft of a game that doesn't really matter other than showcasing how great you've been to this point of the season.

lol elias got shafted, fvckin canes.

Yeah man, did you see the look in his eyes when he didn't win? I just felt so terrible for him. I think they set it up on purpose to embarrass him.

[jagknife]

Oh man, they're pointing out Tim Thomas falling and losing, better be careful, he might be embarrassed....

BTW i think this is patty's challenge
