All Star Weekend GNT

[SLY]

I bet if we can have a stat on assists for setting up the "100 " post, I would be the leader.

I think Tim Thomas was the only goalie that truly took the game seriously and Team Chara played better team defense. Otherwise, that may have been a more exciting game to watch.

Team Chara won. Done. Don't hate. Appreciate.

Jack Todd to the rescue, jstew...When did the Montreal Gazette become the Eklund of newspapers?

Jack Todd: Tim Thomas stunt earns him lifetime zero

Edit: Looks like the original piece has been edited - This little excerpt (last paragraph) has been deleted.

(Tim) Thomas’s decision to skip a team visit to the White House because he buys the garbage pumped out by Glenn Beck and his ilk was bad enough. But then, having pulled a highly public stunt to call attention to his whacko politics, Thomas blamed the media for paying attention.

Look, if this cretin wants to stand outside the White House and spew his drivel, that’s free speech. But standing up the president? All that does is show that Thomas has the class of a swamp-rat.

What’s worse, you know Thomas would not have done this with the liberal Democrat Bill Clinton in the White House. Truth is, he felt free to dis Barack Obama, because Obama is black.

^^ I believe this might be a candidate for WTF of the year.

Team Chara only won because he picked Datsyuk and Howard.

Jack Todd is just trying to keep up with Pat Hickey

Overnights: NFL Pro Bowl drew a 7.9 on ESPN (7:30-10:45pm). NHL All-Star Game drew a 1.1 on NBC Sports Network (4-7p).

I didn't even know the pro bowl was on.

The best sporting event of the day (Joker - Rafa Aussie final) was most likely the least viewed...

 

[jstewismybastardson]

i was really surprised that NBC didnt show the all star game on the main network ... could have (maybe) got some good numbers as a lead in to the pro bowl

 

[jstewismybastardson]

really?

Kane was the undisputed star of All-Star weekend, winning the Breakaway Competition with a pair of superhero-inspired shots. A sprawling Superman complete with cape and glasses, followed up by a disintegrating puck, and the crowd was eating out of his hand. Heeding the lesson of NBA dunk contests that creativity matters more than degree of difficulty, Kane allowed himself to be the merry prankster the NHL would be wise to showcase.

I thought Carey Price stole the show...

Are you saying the Price was right?

Just a reminder to help control the pet population - Have your birds spayed or neuteured.

jstew - must be a Chicago newspaper?

I agree with Dash, Price was the character of Saturday.
Chara stole the show with 108.8
and Stamkos was next with the breakaway elimination show.

for the goofy shit that they are referencing, I thought Tavares' shots were much more impressive (and creative)

 

[puckhead]

what did he do?

as goalie in the breakaway contest, me was miked up and hilarious.
he also made a save while (purposely) facing backwards,
and one while covering his eyes and using his stick upside down like a blind person's cane.
