It's like they've traded the all star game for the skills comp in terms of "we don't care about this and we're going to make it really really obvious to everyone".

You guys need to get your tinfoil hats on! All of these guys are just phoning it in to stick it to the NHL for not participating in the Olympics!

Its their version of Ghandi's 'Passive Resistance.'

Rinne's the man

But on the other hand, I don't know how much more of this I can watch. They're not even trying to score

I hate that they choose such annoying and awkward camera angles, so often the player blocks his own shot for the camera.

But at least the camera angle is XXXXXTREEEME!

I don't think it's really fake smiling, most of the players are sitting around joking with each other, plus most of their kids are in attendance. It's a silly, lighthearted event.

I didn't understand the first targets with the lights. They'd turn off sometimes even if the player missed the net and a different net would light up...

They should just award McDavid #1 in all the events, hit the bar and call it a day.

The idea was that the player would have to constantly adjust to moving targets. The problem is that the light would switch while the player was winding up the shot or when the puck was already en-route. Stupid idea.

Nothing like a 4h fan “skills” event edited into 25 seconds. Sponsors must have loved that.

Ron has rambled on more about Barb Underhill and Karl Lindros tonight then that segment took.
