NHL All-Star Weekend Thread

The fans are scumbags for booing Kane

Grip...you may need to get one.

Kane blew it again!

Kane blew it again!

Heard you the first time.

As far as an All-Star Game goes, this is somewhat fun to watch. I expected a real snoozer.

They're actually playing...especially Scott! :elephant:

I wish Capt. Tummyache (and Keith) was oot there with Kaner. They would be unstoppable.




Hey, Dubnyk finally made a save. :smh:

All I care about is John Scott winning.
Got one win under his belt and 2 goals.
**** you, NHL.
Go John Scott.

Kaner dropping the gloves :irish:

Your lil' fighting Kaner graphic is surprisingly life-sized. :farley:

John Scott ASG MVP.
Well deserved.

 

[DMelt36]

Watch his reaction.

Per Twitter reports, the helmet John Scott wore in today's All-Star Game is heading to the Hockey Hall of Fame.

So, not much of a hockey fan even though I bet on it. This was my first time watching the skills competition. Maybe because I have never saw it before I thought it was fantastic. Those guys are so skilled with the stick and the hardest slap shot even blew my mind with 108 MPH. **** that.

It seemed like a fun event. Basketball skills have gotten boring and I don't even know if the NFL does them anymore.

The NHL basically fucked up every aspect of a feel good story. I read that Scott needed to be written in as a MVP candidate.
Scott had a decent game and I'm glad the fans decided to give Bettman and the NHL one last "**** you." His teammates loved it and it seemed like the rest of the players were all behind Scott and his family in the process.
Lessons can be learned by the NHL brass, but they will continue to drop the ball.

Very well said.

Watch the NHL try and manufacture the same type of storyline next year but completely **** it up by bringing in someone like Raffi Torres

Who will actually beat up on Kane for real, injure him for the year and get a one game suspension......

I wonder if Montreal is having thoughts about calling Scott up from the minors, maybe as some type of ratings gimmick after the support he got at the All-Star game?
If I were him, I'd retire, tell Buttman and the league to **** off, take my family and new car the hell out of St. Johns and move somewhere warm. He's got an engineering degree...go down in flames!

I get a feeling that Montreal is one of the last teams out there that needs to improve their ratings.

Scott is a feel good story for now but let's not act like he is a player that should be in the NHL or that he is really some type of All-Star. Seems like a great guy but he doesn't bring anything to a NHL team on the ice.

But...but...but....MVP!

I know he doesn't belong and Montreal doesn't need ratings or publicity, I was thinking more of as a gimmick. I guess I'm thinking if he retired now, it would be right after the high-point of his career.
