2015 All Star weekend thread

17 to 12. That has to be up there as one of the most ridiculous AS game.

There's not even trying and then there's that.

The game is pointless, and a display of shinny. As a result, we get goals galore.

I am happy that the NHL regular season games do not look like this. Goals are great, but a 2-1 game with fire and intensity is so much more enjoyable to watch.

Too many 91s...

Tarasenko on a breakaway waits for Tavares...

Can I go on the RDS and TVASports website comment sections to post that this game is a clear evidence that Price is better than Halak just to feed the pro-Halak people?

But Halak won again...

I'm predicting that MAF will injure himself next year if he's offered the All Star game.

The AHL Skills Comp is on SN360 right now.

Team Toews scored more goals in one game than the Leafs scored for the month of January

I agree. It was boring as hell. Too many goals. The whole week-end was boring, specially the draft. The NHL lacks imagination. I hope to see a East vs West type of thing with something at stakes! For example the team that wins between East and West gets 1 free pts; it can makes a difference in the playoff with ice advantage.

It seems more like "Player goof off weekend" which is fine, in a sense, I'm not anti-fun, I like that they have fun. But when it does not contain the actual all stars anymore, nobody tries, players drop out for whatever reason they can, and hardly any skill is on display, maybe renaming it would be better.

NHL Silly Stars Weekend?

No wait, the "Gatorade NHL Honda Silly Stars Weekend brought to you by Amp" with 5 minute comedy sets from each commentator and Fall Out Boy will play after each goal. And every millionaire gets a free car. A HONDA car. "Honda We make cars"

We should boycott it.

Protest outside the Bell Centre? I bet people still have their Kovy signs. RABBLERABBLERABBLE

Standing outside yelling "rabble rabble" doesn't accomplish anything.

I dunno. I take South Park pretty seriously. Those guys don't make stuff up. I think the third RABBLE is the most important though, 'rabble rabble' would be completely ineffective.

Like an amp going to 11?

Exactly! Gotta crank the knob right up.

Was trying to find a way to sum up the weekend, think I nailed it:
