probably right before it starts. for the matchup you listed, ovechkin would have to put crosby in there. maybe he puts crosby in fastest skater

MacKinnon should go for fastest skater as well.

 

[hockeykicker]

The fastest skater's event is back this year, except that instead of being a race between two skaters competing at the same time, each player will have to complete one lap of the rink as quickly as possible.[/QUOTE

nhl changes rules on fastest skater. only one person goes at a time and then they compare numbers

Wait, Kris Letang is an All Star? Who picked the teams, Pierre McGuire?

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

All star weekend is fun.

It’s not a great display of hockey.

It’s fun.

There isn’t anything wrong with fun.






Let’s have some fun.

Not for goalies.

 

[hockeykicker]

Not for goalies.

[izzy]

blah hardest shot is the best comp, cant they have a few more people take part in it

probably referring to fastest skater not wanting to face mcdavid which was changed anyway

i doubt theyd have trouble getting more than 5 players of the group to blast a slapper

 

[Shaffer]

I’d love to see Letang try the passing challenge. Dude can’t even make a good one time pass to Geno.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Fastest skater should be fun, MacKinnon vs McDavid.

The new rules for the accuracy shooting can either make the event long and painful or more entertaining.

I really wish they still had the Breakaway Challenge, but understand why it's gone. The players ruined it.
