100%. Sad to see how some are reacting. Lol.

Is literally a fan event to get autographs and have fun and celebrate the league.

I just wish HFBoards had been around back in 2016 when John Scott won the MVP.

And honestly the hockey community doesn't count all star appearances as accolades when comparing greats nearly as much as the NBA community does so that's an extra reason not to care who gets picked for NHL all star

God that was the best.

Bedard will be 18 years, 201 days old when the game will be played at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto -- making him the "youngest player in league history to play for an NHL All-Star team" (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 1/4)

For the East, I would change:
CBJ F Jenner -for- G Merzlikins

Oof. Yeah, um, no. Elvis hasn't been in a good place in years.

 

[KrisLeturnover]

My votes atm. As someone who generally watches Eastern Conference teams, this reminds me of how damn good the Nucks are this year.

Okay, how about this. Just have a fan event where the purpose is to have fun and to celebrate the league, rather than calling it all-stars.

Crazy idea?

Hey, maybe then the players would be more eager to go, too. Since everyone knows the all-stars is a joke. But a dedicated fan event the players might not want to withdraw from.

Why do some people act like the ASG is some best on best tournament? It's supposed to be a lighthearted and fun event that brings exposure to other teams and allow players to show some some personality while also showcasing how skilled some of the players in the league are.

And have it at the start of the season, not in the middle when things are serious.

"We can't have actual, legitimate hockey played at an event that's meant for the fans, because as we all know fans don't actually enjoy hockey."

This forum has existed since 2000. Everyone who was playing in the NHL back then are no longer in the NHL.

But I'm guessing this is sarcasm, and you actually remember what people's reactions were back then.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

What is the format? 3v3? 4 teams? I ask because I saw Matthews and McDavid and no one else as captains. Draft so not Conference vs Conference or Division vs Division?

edit “The highlight of its Thursday festivities will be the league's first All-Star player draft in nearly a decade, with four All-Star captains -- and their celebrity captain partners -- drafting teams for Saturday's contest live in front of fans at Scotiabank Arena.”

Idk, I'm almost 42 and I like the all star game. It doesn't take anything away from the games that matter. I just like the novelty of getting to see McDavid play with MacKinnon, Eichel, Hughes, etc. I normally hate these guys but for one game they are friends. Olympics is a much better version of this of course but even the Olympics get hated on constantly

What's the age limit on enjoying it? It is like Santa, after age 10 or so that's it put your big boy pants on and shake your fist at clouds over the picks?

NHL needs signs saying no adults allowed at the autographs. In fact, anyone over 12 has to sit in the car and watch it all on their phone. Since only little kids are allowed to enjoy it.

What a hilariously dumb take.

Erik Karlsson?

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

I’m not a fan of every team getting a representative. Nobody wants to see Boone Jenner, with his 18 points on the season, compete in an All-Star Game, let alone a skills competition.

Or Tom Wilson with his 19 points and a minus 9 +/-. I wonder how that makes William Nylander feel with 51 points, currently 6th in the league in his contract year? Why not just do it like baseball and have as many guys as are deserving? Have 2 games if you need to.

Oh no. How does William Nylander feel?

Lol GTFO of here man.

8 out of 12 of these guys would be locks in a normal format.

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

The only votes that matter.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Gotta represent the Home squad.

 

[EddieTheEagle]

Lest we forget.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

does anyone know if you can see the total votes anywhere?
