Seeing Brady at this event is a reminder that we f***ed up so badly in 2018. At least we got Romanov that got us Dach.

It’s a sign of why the sport is a joke lmao, I don’t even know what your talking about because I would never watch the lameness that is the ASG, but they probably think they’re so ahead of the times wearing hideous jerseys.
It’s like baby blue, what the hell is going on with these designers. I ain’t trying to watch some cuddly looking dudes skate around. Got ‘‘em looking like Disney princesses out there.

2nd game was the best, at least both teams were trying.
Fall Out Boy was fine.
A+ for Larkin's effort.
That is all.
Now let's get ready for the Habs game in 40 minutes

Yess, acquire Dach it's such amazing to have a player like that, he show flashes of a Getzlaf style player this season and i'm 100% confident that Slafkovsky is going to develop into a beast! Habs are in good shape with Suzuki, Caufield, Dach and Slafkovsky. Adding potentially a really good offensive player aswell with their 2023 pick.

I'll say this about TVA Sport but when they cover sport, they really cover it. As soon as the game was over Sportsnet was gone. Whereas TVA Sport is still going at it talking about the event and other things. They even showed Elizabeth Rancourt
falling into water cause of Fichaud and Lalime.
Was Louis Jean there? Seems like it's been a while since I've seen him.

Louis and TVA have said nothing about it.. but he's been replaced by Elizabeth Rancourt since December. He's no longer part of any show.

I just tried to do some research on Google and it's like nobody knows what happened. No one in the press, Louis Jean himself and all his colleagues at TVA have not say a word. The only thing to go for is that I have found a thinny thing about rumour that he got into a conflict with someone at TVA Sport and TVA chose the other person over him.
The only thing that may explain things is that the show that Dave Morisette and Elizabeth Rancourt were doing every night will now only be after Habs games and that now Elizabeth replaces Louis Jean.

The situation is odd. You’d figure that someone would spill the beans by now, esp. that Quebecor has a lot of enemies.
Louis Jean himself has not posted anything on his Twitter account since last December 15th however, that account continues to exist under the TVA banner.
There has been no official announcement as to whether he chose to leave or if he was terminated. Latest gossip is from ex-disgraced pundit Tom Lapointe, who claims that Louis Jean decided to part ways, as quoted at this link:
About a month ago, TVA simply announced that Elizabeth Rancourt was hosting the weekend Habs post-game show, while adding that those affected by the stated programming changes would be assigned to other Spanre productions, without naming anyone, nor providing further details.
La direction de TVA Sports aurait manqué de respect envers le journaliste Louis Jean
Voyez les détails!
It continues to be a murky fallout that may hide a far bigger story but no one is getting to the bottom of it so far.

I hope Gary and members of NHL’s Board of Governors have been canvassing how other leagues have been designing their jerseys.
Like the ones that teams wear in the Italian volleyball super league, where there are more ads than jersey thread:
C’mon Gary, we know you really want to pay homage to your corporate sponsors.

Is there actually a major league volleyball league? Good for them but that's funny.I hope Gary and members of NHL’s Board of Governors have been canvassing how other leagues have been designing their jerseys.

Im old....and back in the day the allstar weekend was a chance to see players that you dont get to see on TV compete.....it was special and very entertaining....nowadays you see these guys play whenever you want.....for me I dont even watch anymore....its tom foolery....not allstar hockey.....my two cents.

I don't really care about Brady. It's more a reminder how unlucky we were to be drafting 3rd overall and missed out on such beauties like Dahlin and Svechnikov.
The event and games aren’t great but another big issue is simply the NHL sucks at marketing and promoting their stars. Even within our own fanbase, you’ll have people shouting it’s all about the crest.
Me personally, I don’t know why it can’t be both. That said, stars and superstars need to be more on the forefront to get fans excited.

they turned it into a carnival event that does not market the players any better than it did 30 years ago. Shooting surfboards and Golfing with hockey sticks? What a mockery of such a beauftiful sport. You think the NFL would let quarterbacks throw footballs 60 yds in a Closest to the pin event? If they want to market the stars, maybe they should start listening to them and improving the game the rest of the year instead of demolishing it this one awful weekend. That includes ditching the shootout, let them play 3 on 3 and bring back tie games. Return to 1-8 playoff format, not this stupid division garbage that allows awful teams to the post season. Maybe they can figure out offsides and conistent reffing allong the way as well.
Imagine Lebron James asked to throw a basketball at a surfboard for a skills competition? lol
The marketing I was referring to is more of a general, all-season comment as opposed to finding ways to market players at thr event, having them doing cringy pre-recorded “acting” and other nonsense.
So yes, I essentially agree with you.

Wonder where they would put ads on Women's beach volleyball?I hope Gary and members of NHL’s Board of Governors have been canvassing how other leagues have been designing their jerseys.
