GDT: All Star Game

[Realgud]

PK is much better here than on the ice with all the cringe

 

[Gabe Kupari]

No crowd reactions at all. It's like they are playing in front of nobody but ppl actually paid money for this. This is embarrassing to the league. If it's gonna be like this, get rid of it cuz it don't matter at all and the players not trying, yeah... I get it, but this isn't exciting

 

[MoreLikeTurdCrapley]

A continuation of his piss-poor play all year. Not sure if it's injury related, complacency or he's past his prime. I used to be a big fan of the player but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to support his embarrassing efforts.

He just always seems so pissy.

 

[Ezekial]

Indeed. This Fall Out Boy concert should be sick.

 

[Mr Positive]

Would be the 30 million dollar line

I don't think it could happen in the real NHL just because of that cap hit but if Holland could swing it I'd love the Oilers to somehow fit in Karlsson

 

[SML2]

The skills competition was stupid. These jerseys make it look like everyone is on the same team. The pastels are giving me flashbacks from the 80s. Everytime the NHL has a national audience they shit the the bed all the way to the mattress.

All of you people complaining about how awful it is yet take the time to post about it on a Saturday afternoon are pathetic. You all knew exactly what was to be expected, yet you take the time to not only watch the game but to feel the need to complain about it on an anonymous message board like a child having a temper tantrum.

No one is forcing you to watch, you can be doing other things with your time yet here you all are. I don't get it.

For the record, I have a house full of 11/12 yr olds who are loving it. My rant is done. Enjoy the games.

 

[Mr Positive]

McDavid sucks in the Allstar game yet again

He's normally a one shot scorer but this game it seemed like simple shots that the goalie didn't have to work very much to save. Lots of bad passing too, but there were glimmers of him

 

[jackjohnson]

NHL allows cringy crap at all star skills competition yet still have off side reviews. So silly, Pettersson had a hat trick

 

[Da McBomb]

You guys are actually critiquing and criticizing players at an ASG? Lol

 

[Homesick]

Mcdavid and drasaitl outplayed by tarasenko and Keller….

Enjoy raising your ASG banner

The exact point. Thank you.

The players don't feel there is much to play for, I do understand why are you bored.

 

[jackjohnson]

They should at least show some skills lol. Draisaitl played worse than Ovi's kid...that's pathetic. Might as well put some peewee kids in to play in the all star game with that effort

Maybe youre too young to remember what Mario did at the ASG

 

[start winnin]

So disappointing Thompson isn't there, his game is built for an all star game.

 

[Based Anime Fan]

Maybe youre too young to remember what Mario did at the ASG

Oh yes, because when I think of Mario Lemieux, I think of him at the ASG.

Absolutely.

 

[jackjohnson]

I get no hitting but Draisaitl didn't even try, that's pathetic. I mean he didn't even shoot on a breakaway and passed it to the boards with 3 seconds left. It makes the game look even more stupid

 

[The Grim Reaper]

I think the next game will be significantly better

 

[Duke74]

He just always seems so pissy.

He shouldn't be with the weather, unlimited booze, and his plastic gf tagging along. Distracted is a better word to use.

 

[Firsov99]

Damn, even Sid the Kid has gray hair already. Time flies fast.

 

[jackjohnson]

They should make the game competitive by having the winner of the all star game hold home ice advantage I. The Stanley cup finals. That's the only way

 

[Point21]

Give me Kuch-Tkachuk-Tkachuk

 

[jackjohnson]

So if central wins the all star, then if any of the team from the central made it to the finals would have home ice advantage

 

[Profet]

Oh yes, because when I think of Mario Lemieux, I think of him at the ASG.

Absolutely.

The sheer skill on display at the 1988 all star game hooked me into watching hockey.

Mock it if you want, but the all star game used to be a fantastic way to get non hockey people to actually watch a game and get interested.
