MadDog2020 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 these skills comp events just seemed a LOT more fun a whole bunch of years ago before NBC got involved and they tried to push too hard for "creativity" and stuff like that, that breakaway even was a thing of painful to watch....though as a crappy hockey player I feel better seeing NHL guys wipe out during drills ....oh and Elias on the shootout Bingo. I used to enjoy the skills competition. There is now nothing I enjoy about All-Star Weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeControl Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 yup, they destroyed the shootout by demanding creativity and social media over skill. it should be a no rules scoring match.. I remember a few years ago lecavlier doing a wrap around lacrosse move that was ultra slick, that first between the legs shot was sweet. too any time a player jukes a goalie out of his jock is super entertaining as is that goalie robbing him. show us the best scorers in the game doing their thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilsrule33 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 You guys sound old haha. The event is for kids. I went crazy back in 1996 for the all-star game, but as I got older I stopped caring. The changes are irrelevant to me. I'd probably be uninterested if they never changed a thing. If a younger generation is enjoying the silliness of the breakaway challenge and getting closer to the action with selfies and instagram picks, that's all that matters.

Derek21 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yeah I understand lol... I'm more talking about Twitter than anything else though. I hate what Twitter has becomes over the years. As someone who's on there, I definitely get what you're saying. The way fans act on there is absurd. I refuse to follow fanbloggers due to their arrogance. On a more positive, I have made some good acquaintances on social media. That's the good part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmann422 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yeah it was pretty unwatchable. You could tell even the announcers were getting bored and that's unusual for doc. I'm actually a bit more interested in the ahl all stars since it's a lot of guys I've heard of but never actually seen- btw how the hell is tom kostopoulos an ahl all star?

Neb00rs Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Good to see Patty is leading the all-star game as a +4 and getting kudos from Tavares as well Now if only he could add the +5 he had today onto his season total, he would only be a -9 on the year and would no longer be 771st in the league in +/-.
