Devilsdude530 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Should be fun to watch. Go Clarkson! I don't know what else. Doc is calling the event...Go Doc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsdude530 Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 Also, head to Kukla's Korner, where I'll be hosting a LiveChat of the festivities. Please...I beg you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampdevil Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I thought Clarkson was just taking part in the rookie game.....maybe they added wraparounds to the superskills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsdude530 Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 The rookies may be taking part in some of the skill show. The Youngstars will play 2 running time periods, which will affect the outcome of the skills comp. The Breakaway slam-dunk show will feature the following... EAST St. Louis Kovalchuk Ovechkin WEST Gaborik Datsyuk Getzlaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 The skills contest is up first....I thought they normally did the youngstars game first than the skills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threestars Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Is the YoungStars game before or after the skills comp? I was reading stuff on NHL.com and discovered that Alyssa Milano is a big Kings fan...weird good to know there as famous female hockey fans. Ah, you answered my question even befdore I posted it SH, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Its a joke that Niedermayer got selected after only playing a fraction of the year. Nice to see Arnott in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) There are a lot of guys making their first all star appearance, I think I got them all... East Mike Richards Jason Spezza Tim Thomas Rick Dipietro Evgeni Malkin Andrei Markov Marc Savard West Duncan Keith Henrik Sedin Anze Kopitar Mike Ribeiro Manny Legace Shawn Horcoff Corey Perry These camera's SUCK! I agree, Versus also had horrendous camera angles for last years All Star game as well. Edited January 27, 2008 by Satans Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) DP hit 3 out 4 on the long shots from the back red line, I would have like to seen how Marty could have done. Edited January 27, 2008 by Satans Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefiestygoat Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 These camera's SUCK! I agree, they can't just keep on angle and instead keep switching it up so you just don't see anything. DP hit 3 out 4 on the long shots from the back red line, I would have like to seen how Marty could have done. That was impressive, it would have been awesome if Marty was there for that competition.

devils26 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Exactly what I was thinking. Would have really enjoyed that one... damnit. I was thinking that too. How many do you guys think he would have gotten? I think he could have gone 4 for 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Fastest skater is up next. One good thing about what they are doing...I like the videogame demo of what the contest is going to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devils26 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Is there a reason that they are using a video game to demonstrate each event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I was thinking that too. How many do you guys think he would have gotten? I think he could have gone 4 for 4. 4 for 4 is tough, I think he could have done 3 out of 4 like DP though. Is there a reason that they are using a video game to demonstrate each event? To explain how it is going to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) They really need to hire someone who knows what they hell are they doing to run this. First Ilya is the fastest for the East and the whole crowd is chanting Kovy! Kovy! and than they replace him with Campbell after Ilya and Horcoff are already lined up. Horcoff wins fastest skater and the elimination shootout is up next. Edited January 27, 2008 by Satans Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devils26 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 4 for 4 is tough, I think he could have done 3 out of 4 like DP though. I guess, but I think if anyone had a chance to get all 4 would be Marty. To explain how it is going to work. I just think it's silly to use a video game to demonstrate the events. I think maybe a diagram or something would be easier to understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe a diagram or something would be easier to understand. I think it's good for events that we haven't seen before, like that first event. They didn't use a lot of videogame footage for the shootout since they already have tons of footage of that. ESPN and the other channels that show football have also used the Madden videogames all the time for explanations and even predictions. The camera for the shootout is fvcking horrible. A guy with a camera skating behind the player might seem like a good idea on paper but it sucks.

jkrdevil Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Why aren't the lights on in the arena? It makes it look horrible on television and is probably a reason why they are going with god awful ice level cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 DP said I can't even lie to you and say I stood back there on the red line to make it more difficult...I had no idea what I was doing haha Why aren't the lights on in the arena? It makes it look horrible on television and is probably a reason why they are going with god awful ice level cameras. Saving money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN and the other channels that show football have also used the Madden videogames all the time for explanations and even predictions. I guess that makes sense, but I think there is only one completely new event, and it was that obstacle course. It's ridiculous though when ESPN uses Madden to make predictions.\ Anyway, the shootout isn't bad but I think it would be better if there was less time in between each attempt.

Satans Hockey Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) The west won the shootout. I saw Clarkson on the ice. Apparently the youngstars game is now? Edited January 27, 2008 by Satans Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
