Trizzak Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Looks like no one thinks it's worth posting about, but we could see some serious skill tonight and tomorrow. Markov appeared to do really well in that relay competition. How many times did he hit the target on the one timer? 2 outta 4? 3? I couldn't tell.

johnnyhasbeen Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I think he got 2. Would have loved to see kovalev stickhandle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeLassister Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 he hit 3 out of 4 the next big things game was nice 3 vs 3. I really ENJOY the new formula for breakaways at the end. It will be just like the NBA dunk fest, with judges. Don't know who will be the judges but it would be a great opportunity to bring back Messier, Lemieux, Gretzky, Coffey, Hull, etc...

KoZed Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Hardest shots should be taken from the blueline, like D-men takes in real games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyhasbeen Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Wish we would go back to the old formula where the cup winning team played an all-star team. You couldn't include all teams though, too many. Say make a team from the rest of the play off teams. Be one sided though, wouldn't it? Guesss not. Oh well, back to the Jager. Hardest shots should be taken from the blueline, like D-men takes in real games agree 100%, without skating 20 feet into the shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give the ice advantage in the SCF to the winning Conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 I think the shootout judges should include a chick. Put a little PG-13 T&A into the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les_glorieux Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) Datsyuk = didn't even try St. Louis = failed at both shots. Getzlaf = nice first move, bad finish. Nice second attempt too.

Trizzak Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 I enjoy seeing the players fail. The look on their face is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Players need to step up the creativity in that event. It could be so much more with a little bit of effort. Poor showing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyhasbeen Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Ovechkin is so cool. I like the guy. Again though, Kovalev should have been in that too. 3 players from Boston? But they might not even make the playoffs. They are a bubble team. Do I smell big target TV market? Savard? That's a joke. I could name a dozen guys I take over him in the East without effort.

Poor showing! yeah but it was just the first year of it. now players will have all summer long to think about it and practice some moves... But Datsyuk was disgusting.

Psycing Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Meh - didn't look like the guys practiced the moves all that much... Kudos to Ovechkin for giving it a real go. Wish we would have seen St. Louis pull that apparent move where he slides across his stomach or what not. Anyway, the game itself should be a bit better... maybe.

KoZed Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 oh gawd kozed is bud selig in disguise! please noooo to the "it counts" idea. Back in the good old days of Prince of Wales vs Campbell there was more incentive. Maybe it was because top players were associated with their conference and wanted to compete harder (Lemieux vs Gretzky, Bourque vs Coffey, etc.) The game was really an All-Star Game. Put meaning back into it. Make it count. Even if it means displeasing casual fans like PTG... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't no baseball here, players will get injured if it counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
