Does anyone follow this crap anymore? Between the poor competition and the nausea inducing uniforms does anyone care?


Doubt I'll care even when Detroit hosts it, and given the new arena and ownership, is going to be sooner than later.



Anyhow, rosters are revealed. Ovechkin is missing the game and taking the Datsyuk/Lidstrom 1 game suspension.

I wasn't aware there was even voting up for the game. Dunno if thats lack of advertising from the league, or my general lack of interest in the matter.

Doubt it. If Larkin made it I might have watch the speed competition. Outside that no.

I haven't watched an AS in forever when did they start playing 3 games?

 

[Polish-Hammer]

I dunno, maybe the year of John Scott debacle.

NHL went so far as to pressure Arizona to trade the guy to a different conference. Thus giving them the cause to kick him from game. That didn't blow up in their face at all

Just saw the all-star jerseys.

They were on the meh side, a good concept.

But compared to the trash they were using last few years looked amazing.



Still not close to the old all star jerseys.
