So with the NHL adding the shootout competition where judges will give scores for creativity, who do you guys think will win?
Robbie Schremp and Sam Gagner would be favourites but they won't be atending the festivities. So out of the probable all stars, who do you guys think will win? My bet would be Datsyuk for the West and Crosby for the East
Location: 2 for Instigating, 5 for Fighting, 5 for Instigating With A Visor, and a Game Misconduct.
Exp:
Crosby... Ovechkin...
I don't think Dats will be all that great for some reason. He's got the drag move, but I haven't been paying attention to anything else he's done in the shootout.
It all depends on if this will be judged or if it's going to be how many goals on how many shots.
Someone like Kris Letang would be great in the latter.

There's really no incentive to be fancy if it all depends on how many you score. Players will just go the safe route and stick to their normal routine.
Ovechkin is good, but he's a top speed type of guy with brilliant moves in top gear, so I'm not sure he'll provide. Crosby will probably pull something nice, but I think the guy to watch will be Kovalchuk. He's like Ovechkin, but I think he has better hands at a lower speed.
