Damn, feel sorry for him though. That must suck.

Stamkos over Ovie.... Interesting pick.

herbalist

See when Ovie took a picture on his BB of Kessel sitting there by himself? What a jerk.

dom

Didn't watch. What was Kessels demeanor like sitting there?

Apparently, if you are deemed the weakest all star by your peers, they give you a car as a consolation prize.

I'd kinda like to see him light it up in the all star game as pay back.

black label

Here he is dom, the last pick. Wait til you see what the car was

They did have a demand in the draft, Goalies had to be picked before 10th, defensemen, before 12 or 15th, leaving forwards for last.


Besides this was so damn staged...

jupitersolo

What's wrong with that?

Rounder

I called it

dom

Holy $hit Like Kessel, a huge underperformer.

Wait til Moog sees this.

They made the situation worse by giving it so much attention. Feel bad for the guy. Didn't even sound like Kane wanted to pick him. And why the hell didn't Lidstrom step up?

herbalist

Kessel sure is charismatic. Lots of personality there.

Yumcha

Oof...that must suck for Phil.


Well, again...he is an all-star. So, it's gotta be nice either way. I wonder if he carries a bad rep with him...? I read he was not the best team-player in the past...

I want to know what the car was that he won....

Chara is a bast. 105.9mph jeez. Eastern Europe represent!

black label

Being a B's fan and watching that every night sometimes you wonder if the plan is to injure everyone who is willing to block a shot then see if we can win against a short bench. We watch about 40 guys a year limp to the bench after making the decision to put your body between his shot and his target. His shot breaks stuff.

herbalist

I wonder how much harder his shot comes off of on a one-timer? Wouldn't want to get in the way of one of those.

Got my drink in hand. Time to watch some all star action

Captain Serious was deaf...and I didn't care.

dom

Spent my afternoon on the ice. There just something about pond hockey. Nothing like it.





My little guy.

Yumcha

^ Nice!

But, you look awfully young, dom.






Cute kid.

Sharpie's having nice game.

That 'Guardian' thing wasn't that bad. But I didn't see any guardian for the Dallas Stars

Finally playing against players of the same size and skill set Dom?

Players poll some interesting stuff....

Ouch @ Ron Wilson...

dom

Almost got into a brawl with an 8 year old. I was going too fast, saw the kid at the last second. Had to swerve to avoid him, caught my skate on the snow surrounding the path. Went flying and broke a $150 pair of sunglasses.

Fibonacci

Nice. Took my oldest son to Compuware Arena (Plymouth Whaler OHL) for the first time on skates today. This was his expression for 85 of the 90 minutes open skate...

Attempting to teach 2.9 yo how to skate like a pro: Priceless

His old man can still skate like the wind though (faster than < 12yo's).


Oh and Moogs, if yer still scratching your head, I'll use red text all the time just for you. :wink:

dom

I wouldn't want to get up either if my dad put girl skates on me

Get a skate assist if you don't already have one. Not only does it help the kid but it saves your back. Holding up a 2-3 year old for an hour isn't fun. And put him on roller blades this summer. Made a huge difference for my oldest.

Fibonacci

It was all they had in youth size.


Yep, gonna get him on some rollerskates along with a nice tutu so he can be cool like Moogs this summer on Venice Beach.

Yumcha

Sounds like you can't skate.



I, a Chink, probably can skate better than you.

Moog-Type-S

^^^ Get those skates off yer kid!!!!!!!

Don't get yer boy used to toe-picks Bad habits die hard.

...and your kid will have nothing on me....my figure skating skillz are off the hook!

Moog-Type-S

...and Kopitar was

Yumcha

^ Yes, yes...we all know he's a BEAST and scored 2 goals.




But, Sharpie won the MVP.

herbalist

Speed skating?

dom

What I would give to get 5 minutes on the ice with you.

Let just say AZ would never again have to hear about how much you hate Apple. How much you hate the Wings, Heat, Dikings etc and how gorgeous an Aston Martin is.

Yumcha

And AZ would never be the same...you'd all miss me.

Moog-Type-S

@ Yummy on the ice.

I'd pay top $$$ to see that.

Yumcha

^ I'm as you would say, a BEAST.
