The All Star weekend is here and I'm ready to poo poo post about it.

I can't believe they don't wear helmets for the fastest skater. I know they have the padding up but it'd be easy as gently caress to get concussed there even with the padding there.

Larkin heard that the top 2 had to “compete” again later and said ‘gently caress that’

I feel like Makar wiping out took what little steam that had too lol. The guys after that were clearly skating to not get hurt.

Uhhhh Mitch Marner sucks at breakaways? Where are the little nets to pass into for the little guy

another game at nationwide arena. everybody keeps asking me if they can fuck the cannon. buddy, they don't even let me fuck it

I'm watching a Cleveland Monsters game because it's actually televised tonight, but might look in on this if I can be bothered.

All of the players wearing their reverse retros is...interesting.

I mean it’s obviously dumb to make it a one-and-done for this exact reason, NHLers screw up shootout attempts in actual games when it matters let alone dumb gimmick shots after they’ve had a few, but also once again Marner fails to deliver who is surprised

Oh boy, a shootout, but slower, with zero stakes, and interspersed with a mid-level intermission entertainment event.

Meant to post in this thread about how Hillary Knight is awesome.

This event is pretty cool, actually. Goalies trying to score goals is pretty funny.

Edit: the concept is cool but it’s been kinda lovely.

Nhlers are so fuckin boring. There's breakaways and guys are trying fivehole shots instead of actual creative poo poo that they all know how to do

Commentators said the same thing, repeatedly.

I do love that Sarah Nurse was one of two skaters who scored in that event. It was a pretty great goal, too.

This is true too. If you’re gonna turn the actual breakaway challenge into some kind of weird sketch comedy event, then at least use this boring goalie event to do some actual cool breakaway poo poo

This venue reminds me of the one used for a roller hockey game that I randomly found on an old VHS after a NASCAR race a few years ago.

We need a new set of events.

ELBOWS UP!- Each team gets to send a player out to run Tom Wilson. Hardest hit wins!

SHOOT THE poo poo(HEAD)- Brad Marchand stands at the other end of the ice tied to the posts Milhouse style and tries to catch one-timers with his face!

YES DIVING- A celebrity panel gets to decide whose dive worthy of a two minute minor embellishment is the most dramatic.

Is there no one representing Anaheim here? I know there was a fiasco with no player from Seattle, but I’ve not seen anyone from the Ducks…
