2011 NHL All-Star Game, Discussion Thread: Claude Giroux vs. Danny Briere

Why bother then. Why put players at risk , it’s a contact sport after all. It’s not the Olympics where the risk is acceptable because country comes befiore team.

The All-Star Game can hardly be defined as a contact sport

The players party all night during All-Star weekend
They cant do that during regular games
The hug over factor is a big reason they are playing a bit slower
Also if they play at a slower pace they ca have fun and try crazy passes and other moves they would get killed for in a regular game

Each Captain picks the players for the other team. So each player wants to be Last and Not First. Think of the ramifications. The player you least want on your team you pick for the other team.

Shit, I forgot the game started already… for some reason I didn’t look and just assumed it’d start at 6 or 7, so what did I miss besides a lot of goals and a Giroux goal?

and I’m going for team Lidstrom… we need some more goals or a Lavi timeout!

I got what you meant, no worries. I’m glad Lavi engineered a 4 goal comeback. I bet he’s letting them get a lead now and let them think they won it, then will call a time out and not only make a comeback and tie it, but have the win with Danny Boy getting the GWG goal!

I thought they made it so there are no repeating numbers during the actual all star game (I remember when Richie went he had to wear number 10). During the skills competition when they wear their own team uniforms I think it’s ok.

why would you pull a goalie in an all star game? with all the back and forth you are begging for an empty net goal.

Yeah he’s done a top notch job. I never knew how hard of a shot he had until last night. Damn I was hoping he’d hit a 106 and put Chara in the ground.

Sharp wins MVP

Is Paul Holmgren really bad at managing the salary cap? Does Matt Stairs enjoy getting his ass hammered by guys?

the way the voting is set up, somebody could score 5 goals in the last five minutes of the game and still not win MVP. not a fan of the voting system

by BobbyDucati on Jan 30, 2011 7:01 PM EST reply actions

Yeah, with 4 Pens and 2 Hawks voted into the game, is it really a surprise that Sharpie got picked at random almost?

he had a good start in the first, so that pretty much set him up for MVP

I only saw the third but I didn’t hear his name once, that I noticed.

yeah he only got 13:30 TOI. and at one point had 3 assists in the first, then they otok one away at either the first or second intermission. owell. at least this game means nothing, unlike baseball.

To make the NHL feel better, the Pro Bowl has the Goo Goo Dolls live, so we arent the only league stuck in the past

Since Crosby and Luongo weren’t in Allstar competition, that Versus commercial really became a big ad for Ovechkin

I saw earlier that they edited out Luongo, they made his jersey blank and made his helmet all white. I guess its harder to edit out Crosby.

I disagree with the MVP pick—I think it should have been Weber—but the end of that game was pretty fantastic. Yeah, Team Lidstrom. Here’s hoping Team Staal broke MAF.
