Love how McDavid isn't in fastest skater. Doesn't want to lose and blow that image he is faster than he is.

You'd think this would be streaming somewhere. They used to do it on CBCsports.ca. I guess the NHL doesn't actually want people watching?

Sounds like they are chopping up the event schedule this year. Fastest skater final later on, breakaway challenge one participant at a time between other events? This can only make tonight even worse than previous years.

Ya, I just turned it off. I can think of about a million other things to do on a Friday night besides watch that.

The NHL is reeeeeally bad at this.

There's at least 10 minutes between anything happening.

Pretty disrespectful of SN to cut away from the female player introduction. My god this is so awful this year.

Wow, this goalie event is so slow and poorly thought out. Huge fail. It is going to take half an hour to get through this disaster.

It's boring because hockey players not trying and going slowly is boring.

Wait, how did the greatest of the greatest, the player we all should be talking about more, the mighty McAvi how did he miss on a breakaway?? Surely Hellybucyk was not following the script.

If I'm not mistaken, at some point in the history of the skills competition they had just a straight goalie shooting competition from behind the net. It was simple, fun and quick. They should just bring that back.

Honest question. Are they advertising ways you can bet on the skills comp?

I have to say, between the production value and the events, this is kind of embarrassing for the NHL.
