Nothing I'm saying is new as it's been typed here 100x, but wow, just seeing the highlights now. What a pathetic event. It's possible to actually de-value your sport by throwing something that was so cringey. Fastest skater, great. Accurate shot, great. Hardest shot, great. Why with the gimmicks? Anything to do with the goaltenders tends to be terrible as well. They really have to just position it more in line with practice drills. I'm sure 8 year olds are looking at this and facepalming at how bad it was. I felt bad watching the "highlights". Totally understand the idea of bringing in women as that's 50% of the population to get revenue from but from the standpoint of talent it's pretty freaking bad (with certain exceptions). Does the Arkells guy have to be involved with every NHL production? Master schmoozer that guy. What a disaster.
