    All Star Weekend

    Anyone plan on tuning into to any of this weekends festivities?

    Kicks off tonight with the All Star Draft. NHL Network did a mock draft last night. Mock Draft

    Skills Competition tomorrow.

    All Star Game Sunday.

    I'll definitely try to catch as much as I can. Yahoo, did a cool spotlight back on the 1990 All Star Weekend too, you should check that out if you're interested. Click Here

    Enjoy!
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all     true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can     mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    Zzzzzzzzz......


    Actually, I'm a little curious as to how the draft will work. And if I'm bored tomorrow and I remember that it's on, I might watch the skills competition.

    As far as the game itself, I could care less. No Sabres are involved this year, and no one wants to get hurt checking or blocking shots in an exhibition game. That means Cindy will probably score 8 goals because the 3-foot halo that the refs usually give him will be expanded to 8 feet. No thanks.

    And for the record, the NHL really botched the timing on this. Why? The only football is the Pro Bowl, which no one cares about. They should have had a full slate of games this week to fill the void and try to win some games. Imagine having meaningful hockey on NBC, VS, NHLN and a local channel going up against the stupid Pro Bowl. They'd get viewers.

      Cindy and Malkin are both skipping it.

        So then Ovechkin or Kane get the 8 goals. Either way, it's just going to be scorers weaving past all-star defensemen like they're pylons because no one wants to get hurt.

                Sabres and checking .... Reminds me of the greatest All-Star moment ever, when Mike Ramsey laid out Gretzky with an open-ice hit

                  As expected, it's quite the social event around here, so tickets are hard to come by for the one and only time all year. If I had the money and somebody to watch my daughter, I'd go check out the festivities downtown tonight or tomorrow at least.

                      Sounds like Something that Bettman would do.

                          Why would you pick a goalie 1st overall, that is just dumb. He won't even be playing for 2/3 of the game.

                              This year's NHL SuperSkills Competition was not nearly as memorable as Montreal's in 2009, but it was still a fun part of the 2011 All-Star Weekend in Raleigh, N.C. In case you missed it, I thought I'd recap some noteworthy Icethetics-related elements from the event — you know, logos a
