Default NHL All Star Weekend - Skills Competition - 5 pm MT

Johnny is taking part in the puck control relay:

Did they get rid of the goofy breakaway challenge? Still hilarious.

Breakaway challenge replaced by the Save Streak. No more wackiness.

Side topic but does anyone know if you can customize the ASG jersey?

No room for creativity in the NHL anymore.

Eh - the breakaway challenge was starting to lose it's luster. Loved the JG integration last year of course, but there were a lot of cring-inducing moments as guys were running out of ideas. I personally thought it took away from the spectacle of showing off how insanely talented these guys are.

CBC giving Healy a soap box tonight for the PA will get annoying, I’m guessing.

Reason enough not to watch.

Wasn't Brad Marchand suspended 5 games? And he's still allowed to participate in the ASG?

They went through the Wars together, stands to reason they're all still buddies. But I agree with you, it is cool that they take the opportunity to catch up.

Thats part of the suspension. Veteran players want nothing to do with the All-Star Game, hence the plethora of 'injuries' that we tend to see in the days leading up to it.

The NHL was probably telling Marchand that attendance to the ASG is part of his punishment.

"5 Games and you have to attend the All-Star Game! And you have to pretend that you love it and make people believe you! Oh! And you have to have dinner with Daryl."

- Sutter? Thats not so bad....

"Katz. And he mentioned something about a movie offer?"

- Fuuuuuuuuuuuu

MacLean is all over the map again tonight, with his often rushed obscure references and half finished thoughts.

He's truly insufferable. Now he's in his Butt Pirate outfit.
