That about sums it up for me. Love watching the skills competition and seeing them goof around. The draft was amazingly hilarious. Hartnell telling Phaneuf to "suck it" during the game. Carey Price and his antics in the skills competition in 2012. Voracek and Gaudreau last year.

It's just awesome seeing the lighter side of their personalities. I'm not watching for the quality of the hockey. To do so and to judge the event upon that is, well, stupid.
