I'd be so pissed to delay my vacation to work another weekend.

NHL All-Star player poll: Biggest trash talker? Next outdoor game? NBA-style playoffs?

Our staff at the NHL All-Star Game had several questions for the players at media day.

theathletic.com

1. Should the NHL extend three-on-three overtime to 10 minutes in order to have fewer games decided by shootouts?​

Yes: 12
No: 4

Rasmus Dahlin, Buffalo: “When you lose, yeah. When you win, no.”

2. Should the NHL expand the playoffs with an NBA-style play-in round involving the 7-10 seeds in each conference?​

Yes: 2
No: 14

Dahlin: “I can’t complain about what the NHL has right now. I haven’t been in the playoffs yet, so I don’t really know what it’s like.”

That is interesting given the Sabres being right on the edge of the WC2 spot in the East.

5. Where should the NHL hold an outdoor game next?​

Florida: 2
Lake of the Woods: 2
Lake Louise: 1
“One of the Great Lakes”: 1
Alaska: 1
London: 1
Angel Stadium: 1
Rose Bowl: 1
Los Angeles Coliseum: 1
MetLife Stadium: 1
Mile High Stadium: 1
Wrigley Field: 1
A European soccer stadium: 1

Dahlin: “Alaska would be nice. That’d be cool, right?”

So, the weather in Buffalo isn't a problem for Dahlin.

First - LOVE the Beach Boys

Second - Victor Olofsson is mean

Third - Santa lives on the other side of the ocean from Miami

Is it really a suspension in Dahlin's case tho. Last minute reserve cancelling vacation plans and all.

I dont think it is,otherwise do you suspend the whole team if everyone declines ( didnt all the Krakens decline?)

The answer to "who is invading your sand castle" made me cackle.

Can we take some coaching credit?

Ras flew his brother down to Florida from Sweden.

Its amazing to see how far Dahls has come. Dude was a young shy kid who knew limited English to becoming what seems like a cool confident young man that people just seem to gravitate too. Really cool to see!

From the one soundbite, it sounds like the guys were going to the Bahamas for a break, so I'd imagine he's going to join them after he gets done with the ASG.

Yeah I heard that too.. JJ posted on his story on instagram that he was in Scottsdale so many the young entry level guy went there?

Not sure who went where - kinda figure it is the Mitts/Bryson/Cozens/Dahlin group that was going to the Bahamas but can't argue with folks getting away. Hope all of it gets them feeling better because the next stretch of games to season's end is also a slog.

I don’t like Dahlin spending all this time in South Florida. What if he likes it too much! That’s how they got Bobrovsky!

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Dahlin very respectable in the hardest shot. Thompson would have crushed it though...
