GDT: All Star Weekend - Leafs edition

[QJo]

It would have way more intrigue if teammates were playing against each other. An aspect the all star game has never gotten right.
McDavid Marner vs Matthews Draisaitl is way more of a draw than Matthews Marner vs McDavid Draisaitl. Give us something we don't see, settle some barstool arguments.

Matthews being front and centre at the draft gives me the opportunity to repost probably my favourite tweet of all time re. a previous allstar game appearance.

I love the Skills Comp

Going tomorrow for the first time and stoked lol

 

[notDatsyuk]

Matthews probably picks Marner first.

Nope he picked Nylander.

First three players picked: Kutcherov, Nylander, and Pastrnak.

I must say it was tough watching the old guys who are still around.

I played with four of them. Goal one year for Brian Conacher's oldtimers, and Walton, Stemkowski, and Pulford all played with him.

Shit, I'm old.

 

[Mr_Fun]

Needs tickets to the Dallas game??

Thanks, but we bought ours back in September (or whatever it was) when they first came on sale. Strangely enough, it was for four of us, sec. 311, row 17.

I like Matthews strategy....picking core Leaf players for his team. With 1 million on the line, might be the best chance we'll ever get to see this team give it their all to win something.

 

[tmlms13]

even less inclined to watch now. I've watched those 4 play togther for 7 years....... I was really hoping they'd be put of 4 different teams would and go head to head.

I guess ppl were paying attention even though they purposely picced marner second

I was wondering when someone would say this!

I’ll watch some of the skills competition, and maybe some of the games, but unfortunately it’s on ESPN which makes for a tough watch.

Toronto All Star Cup. In Toronto for Torontonians. We got this.

Very close to handing him a musket and a pipe. You know he is out to hunt foxes looking like that.

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

The last time I watched the All-Star game Jagr was in it for Florida.

I was under house arrest and bored out of my skull. The last time before that? Yep, you guessed it, Jagr was in that one too.

I don't understand why they hold the All-Star game in the middle of the season anyway.

They'd probably be better off holding it in the summer. To entertain fans when there's nothing else going on. Even I might be so desperate for anything hockey I'd be tempted to watch it.

Makes more sense than pausing the season for a silly tournament no one but the kids care about.

That's who it's for anyway. It's definitely not for fat old men like me. If you got a kid that loves hockey nothing beats watching the All-Star game with them.

Any adult watching this thing on their own probably just has too much spare time on their hands.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Thank god the Leafs are back at it Monday.

 

[ACC1224]

Thank god the Leafs are back at it Monday.

It's always been crazy to me that Matthews is willing to sabotage his prime years with that shitty stache. Lucky he's filthy rich so I'm sure he does great with the gals.

Anthems are done by 6:59pm. Why can’t this be the norm for 7pm puck drops?

 

[MK78]

Anthems are done by 6:59pm. Why can’t this be the norm for 7pm puck drops?

Or other special presentations. sometimes the games with those start 20-25 minutes late.

 

[BTP]

Why no Marner in any of these events???

 

[BayStBullies]

Is there a stream?

 

[Dragao6]

Can’t believe tre didn’t Waite to sign Willy after the all star game
Could have arranged him winning the 1 million prize and take on a lower cap hit lol
