in All Star Games Suck

Unfortunately, I really left prepping this to the last minute again, so this will be a quick thread. NHL.com has all the events, rules and participants listed here. I will quickly recap what all the events are:
1) Bridgestone NHL Fastest Skater - 5 races around the rink, then one final match between the fastest skaters from each team. Michael Grabner was the star for this last year.
2) All State Insurance NHL Breakaway Challenge - Shooters try to make their fanciest breakaways, fans vote via text. This is Alex Ovechkin's specialty.
3) Canadian Tire NHL Accuracy Shooting - Shooters try to hit all 4 targets with as little time and as few pucks as possible. Daniel Sedin was the champion last year, and he's been listed to defend the honour.
4) G Skills NHL Skills Challenge Relay - 8 players from each team will participate in a timed event involving one-timers, passing, puck control, stick handling and accuracy shooting.
5) Blackberry NHL Hardest Shot - 4 players in each team try to shoot the puck, highest mph wins. Why the hell isn't Alexander Edler selected for this, Alfie?
6) Tim Hortons NHL Elimination Shootout - Regular shootout competition, the players try to score on all the goalies. You miss, you're out. Last player standing wins.
And there you go. Go Team Alfie.
Oh yes, I nearly forgot the Vampires Suck clip. Here you go:

this post doesn’t show for me anywhere when going to NM. I only saw it on my rss feed. Just a heads up if there’s an issue with it.

@NM_missy
OK... I will say it
Is Pittsburgh’s medical staff completely incompetent? Now they’re saying that Sid has C1 & C2 fractures? This reeks and reminds me of all the questions about Philly’s docs during all the issues with Eric Lindros.

Holy crap. Look at Rome!!- Sean Zandberg
Not sure how it’s possible to miss fractures, you’d expect he’s been x-ray’ed at least a few times since.
depends on the fractures I guess, sometimes it is hard to detect some things. And perhaps they weren’t looking for fractures if they thought it was just a severe concussion? I dunno, But yeah you would think it would be diagnosed sooner
I obviously don’t get the same medical care as a pro hockey player but I had a 180+ degree tear on my shoulder labrum (over halfway around my shoulder) with a detached ligament and a dent (fracture) and the first MRI didn’t pick it up. They didn’t see what the problem was until they did one with contrast.
Go Canucks Go!
in a non-pro setting I can see it missed, but I really doubt they didn’t do all x-ray/MRI/contrast scans possible on Crosby. Or at least they should have done.
well what happened to the guy in your profile pic then?

108.8
I know a guy in the KHL “supposedly” did 114, but that is pretty impressive.
Blockers better have great form, get that one on the shin pads. Then have extra shin pads on hand! They were right. Goalies …OK, but blocking that?
Canucks did it for 7 games. But anyone that does is …wow.

oh good lord
I don’t usually get worried about trade rumours, but um… this one (even though it makes zero sense from Boston’s point of view in terms of return value) frightens me…
Another one had the Bruins dishing Tim Thomas to Chicago. Perhaps that could be the University of Vermont special, with the Bruins sending their ex-Catamount to the Hawks for former Catamount Viktor Stalberg . . .
One of those jerks from Nucks Misconduct
@KentBaskyNM
Holy crap. Look at Rome!!- Sean Zandberg
That one to me makes zero sense. Stalberg has nowhere near the value of Thomas….maybe if there was another player or a high pick in there, but this would never happen. BOS is going to want value in return, and Stalberg is not enough.
The Perry to Vancouver rumour at least has an element of reality as far as Anaheim getting something for their valuable player (still doesn’t make sense…why would they need Schneider? and why would they take players that are struggling here?).
Looking forward to the February trade intrigue though…looks like it’s starting to heat up! : )
They once made a Kevin Bieksa toilet paper, but it wouldn't take shit from anybody.
