He was painfully visible on that 1 against 1 by Larkin in the 2nd half, basically did just one pirouette while Larkin skated around for a while
Hope he enjoyed his time there, because he's the only one who will ever remember it happened.

The All-Star weekend became far too gimmicky.

I don’t know how anyone can watch it.

The skills competition used to be fairly entertaining when it was simple.

Fastest skater, hardest shot, accuracy shooting, & breakaway relay.

That’s all they need, & all it should be.

Now they add all sorts of nonsense, like the showboat & prop competition. And have league “guests” participate in events.

And the game itself is silly 3-on-3.

Go back to the basics.

The all star game / skills competition is an embarrassment. NHL viewership is down 22% this year and this is their attempt to bring in more fans? Embarrassing

From a Flyer fan perspective, would at least consider watching if this team had an actual exciting star to send.

Giroux was drafted in 2006 lol

I agree with everything about the skills portion, but I am probably in the minority about liking the idea of going to 3-on-3. At 5-on-5, there was just a lot of gliding around since nobody was going to actually play defense or throw a check.
