The 5 minute OT was the best part of the whole game, looks like they were actually trying...somewhat.
And goal of the game goes to Malkin, with that slick play through the legs. |

That goal was garbage....the puck barely trickled into the net. If the goalie was even trying half assed he could have saved that. |

I think the weekend went well overall.
and malkin's goal was pretty good - and no one was really busting their ass for the game. |

and that is why the All Star game should die out.....nobody is busting their asses off. I would love to see the top players in the world play a real game.
The players are just assets for their teams now and the players and the teams don't want them to get hurt. To me that is just a bull excuse. They play 82 regular season games and players don't sit out one of every 4 games because they might get hurt. With the players they have at this game its not going to be a big hitting game anyhow. The players can play full out and still not make it a hard hitting tough guy game. |

Why would you want something that's been a tradition in hockey to die out? a) makes the NHL money. and b) its the one game of the year when the best players come together, joke about, have fun, and show quality sportsmanship, rather then having to break each others teeth to win.

1. The modern All Star game is nothing like the traditional All Star game so really the tradition has been lost.
2. The Best Players (at least the ones that don't have mysterious injuries)come and give a half ass effort. If they actually played hard it would be a great game.
3. I could care less if it makes billionares more money. Its nothing more then an event for all the corporate sponsorship to send their big wigs to. The game offers nothing to the real fans of the nhl. |

it's all about the Winter Classic now. |
What they should do is make the All Star game the Winter Classic....at least then the players will skate to keep warm. |

to have an intresting team, there need to be an intresting stake... there's none of that. Plus why would anyone risk to be injuried by playing hard!?!
It will never be as intresting as a good rivalery for example, its not supposed to be anyways. It's a marketing show. |
