So did you enjoy the NHL All Star game and competitions?  

I love the competition parts. Shows their skills and their abilities as an individual. Of course, lets them ham it up a bit too! lol

As for the game.. I find them interesting to see if these top quality players can truly play well with other members on the team. It's not an easy task to move from one team to another, especially when most on the team are used to being "top dogs".

Malkin's got it in a wrap! LOL
The only thing Malkin's missing is the pizazz. He's good, skilled but doesn't quite know how to grab the audience yet.

I think it will come to him though with more time in the US. His excitement when he scores is awesome.

OH yeah, he'll learn. And with Ovechkin as one of his best friends I'm sure he'll learn quick! lol

I agree the game itself has little pizzaz and basically is like watching pick up hockey but with some pretty skilled players! lol I think it's more the excitement of seeing all the players in one area more than an actual excitement of a game that's played intensely. Face it, nobody's gonna hit too hard or pull any muscles just showing off for the all star game!

I only say the "oldies" game once, and loved it. I don't know that they showed it on our station here now that I think of it. I could be wrong though.

I was a bit dumfounded when I saw they were on .. heck can't even think of the call letters now.. lol... but the network they have a ton of games on (former sports channel). I think they hoped they could get enough people buying "nhl packages" and that just isn't right.
