[GT] 2017 All-Star Skills Comp

[Frequitude]

Larkin definitely was allowed to cheat. Shouldn't have counted. McDavid actually beat Gartner's time of 13.36.

Waaah baby Connor. Same face as "lotto to the oilers"face.

I don't understand why they did the running start the one year. An extra stride or two before starting the clock and McDavid would have destroyed Larkin.

It's the effortlessness of his skill and his movie star blonde hair and good looks.

I'd love to see Johnny use his skates in the event instead of his stick.

Hey, it's Joe and Al. Those guys' skills would still work today.

He should have done that. It would have been awesome.

In Calgary's contest, did Kevin compete? Did he break 80?

I forgot that Larkin stumbled on that last turn. I wonder what his time would have been if he did that turn cleanly?

[GioforPM]

They need a bardownski contest.

[GioforPM]

Have these shooters all been righties?

[Nsd1]

I think Hedman was a lefty

[activeStick]

I'm surprised Hall wasn't in the fastest skater event

He was supposed to but pulled out so Simmonds took his place.

[StrykerSteve]

Smith's mask is great.

[AC]

Its amazing how bad they present the Skills Competition.

Hughson and Simpson droning on nonstop, the cameras missing the actual action, cutting back and forth from cameras as shots are being taken...

So bad.

[Nsd1]

NHL must have used the same people that were in charge of the Golden Knights video to control the scoreboard.

[calgarygeologist]

I'm a little disappointed that the got rid of the creative shoot out and went to a more serious one. It was fun to watch the guys try to pull off some crazy moves.
