Default Gaudreau's muffin on display in accuracy shooting in Vegas

Hi all. Not sure if this can be dropped into another thread but kind of funny that the guy who can pass to himself from behind the net is doing accuracy and not breakaway or some other puck challenge.

It looks like they're not doing the puck handling relay this year. That's the one Johnny has dominated in the past.

about half of Gaudreau's goals this year are absolute snipes

I have never seen a guy pick so many corners on partial breaks

he can "wow" in the three on three

Upper RH corner is on lock from this year. His OT goal was lower LH. HIs old go to from the sharp angle was upper LH. He just has to work on bottom right and he’s set.

just pass the puck to the targets

I participated in that event at an "all star game" at a charity game and I gotta tell you that it's just the worst...hit the first target on the first or second shot and continued to miss until they mercifully ran out of pucks.

I believe they removed the event because everyone knows Johnny would win easily again and that’s really bad for the suspense/entertainment value. It will magically reappear if his team is ever hosting the All-Star game.

I definitely wouldn't characterize Gaudreau's shot as a "muffin" this season. He's been a stone cold sniper so far.

Arent they having players shoot pucks off a paddle board in the Caesars Palace fountain or something crazy like that?

Calling it now -- Gaudreau will win the accuracy competition.

+1 to the NHL for bringing back the exploding styofoam targets.
