Is the skills comp today or tomorrow?

 

[EpicDing]

Barzal will still be skating while other events are going on /s

Tonight at 8pm EST.

Kreider's straightaway speed is incredible of course but he will have a challenge with the net turns. I'd take Kreider over anyone in a straightaway but I could very easily see him having to slow way down to make the corners.

 

[Off Sides]

Any truth to the rumor that they added a jump out of a swimming pool challenge this year?

Kreider (9.02 seconds)
McDavid (16.51 seconds)
Point (17.43 seconds)
Hughes (19.17 seconds)
Barzal (1 minute & 12.3 seconds)

Is that Kreider's time before he crashes into the boards?

 

[SML2]

They should put a motivational cardboard cutout of Carey Price at the finish line.

 

[EpicDing]

Is that Kreider's time before he crashes into the boards?

Think you mean goalie, if the main boards are to be believed.

 

[n8]

have they ever had a goalie scoring goals shooting contest?

Kreider (9.02 seconds)
McDavid (16.51 seconds)
Point (17.43 seconds)
Hughes (19.17 seconds)
Barzal (1 minute & 12.3 seconds)

I think you underestimate Hughes.

 

[Tawnos]

Kreider might reach the top speed for a moment, but I’d be pleasantly surprised if he has the best time. I don’t think he’s as good at corners as someone like McDavid.

No one is. I love CK as much as anyone, and the guy is an incredible PF-speedster, but he is neither the best (or fastest) skater nor the “best” PF.

They had some dumb goalie shooting thing one year. It didn’t really work.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

What time does the speed contest start

 

[CasusBelli]

McJesus with the humility his namesake preached.

 

[Irishguy42]

McJesus with the humility his namesake preached.

I mean, if there was anyone that could beat McDavid...it's Kreider.

 

[Fitzy]

I mean, if there was anyone that could beat McDavid...it's Kreider.

Yeah, we'll see though, McDavid is gonna corner a lot better.

They were shooting dumb goalies?

Gamesmanship. Give Kreider false confidence, then crush him.

 

[will1066]

Might I say, the jokes in this thread are all star level. Good work ladies and gents

 

[Maximus]

I'd go with MacKinnon tho Kreider won't embarrass himself

 

[RGY]

Is there a schedule or itinerary?

 

[Maximus]

Proof that I'm addicted to hockey. Just got home from a happy hour with the wife and friends and when they decided to go more drinking and dancing I said nah...I'm going home to relax and probably go to bed early.....ummm...yeah right.!

I might pay for this decision later one when the wifey ubers home probably all buzzed and shit but that's a bridge I'll cross when the time comes...hah

Meantime, cocktail is in hand and ready for these all stars to entertain me....lol
