Man On A Mission		2011-01-30 05:22:16 PM

I see what you did there, subby.

paj		2011-01-30 05:22:40 PM

4-4 after 1.

Anderson's Pooper		2011-01-30 05:23:43 PM

Some mild complaining can be found two threads down.

Better late than never.

mid6000tek		2011-01-30 05:24:04 PM

Only on Vs isn't it?

dj_bigbird		2011-01-30 05:24:17 PM

Lots of fun so far, even for a jaded hockey fan like me. I've loved having the mic on Cam Ward.

Marcus Aurelius		2011-01-30 05:24:30 PM

And by "All Stars" they mean "Anyone that couldn't get out of playing".

Marcus Aurelius		2011-01-30 05:25:29 PM

Whoops, I thought they were talking about the Pro Bowl.

Carry on.

cameroncrazy1984		2011-01-30 05:29:45 PM

I can't get into the game unless I have a rooting interest. I suppose I'll wait for the Pro Bowl.

dholway		2011-01-30 05:30:24 PM

I hope that the two best 'enforcers' will get to fight each other.

Neeek		2011-01-30 05:30:44 PM

You have a rooting interest in the Pro Bowl?

Nick The Eloquent		2011-01-30 05:33:00 PM

I was wondering if we would get an all-star thread. Good effort fellas.

Anderson's Pooper		2011-01-30 05:34:58 PM

Le-Tang!

FiendishFellow05		2011-01-30 05:36:06 PM

6-4, Team Staal.

Waiting for the 3rd period, when Tim Thomas gets in between the pipes.

bobbarker02		2011-01-30 05:39:21 PM

The only sport with a watchable All-Star Game is baseball.

Anderson's Pooper		2011-01-30 05:39:22 PM

As a goalie, I flinched when Chara took that drop pass.

dholway - The Sedins should drop the gloves in the third.

IgnatiusJReilly		2011-01-30 05:40:31 PM

That's funny. I thought the Royal Rumble didn't start for another couple of hours.

dj_bigbird		2011-01-30 05:42:44 PM

Wow, a goalie actually stopped a puck and forced a faceoff.

FiendishFellow05		2011-01-30 05:44:01 PM

6-5, Team Staal.

Damn, everyone's a sniper today.

The puck goes in the net, guys, not Jonas Hiller.

Mike_LowELL		2011-01-30 05:44:55 PM

This sport is so much better than basketball. Anyone who likes basketball is probably 6'7 and black. Screw basketball.

FiendishFellow05		2011-01-30 05:45:02 PM

dj_bigbird: Wow, a goalie actually stopped a puck and forced a faceoff.

Where have you been? They've been doing it all game.

RsquaredW		2011-01-30 05:45:48 PM

I like how Team Staal is playing five forwards.

dj_bigbird		2011-01-30 05:46:43 PM

drinkin

DanZero		2011-01-30 05:48:06 PM

They're both boring, what's the point?

The other tonight is just the "Consolation Bowl" for the losers.

FiendishFellow05		2011-01-30 05:50:39 PM

6-6....make that 7-6, Team Lidstrom on a Daniel Briere goal.

ravenssettle		2011-01-30 05:51:40 PM

I've been waiting patiently for the thread. Couldn't think of a thread headline funny enough to warrant a possibly greenlight, so I sat and waited.

/Go Team Lidstrom

RsquaredW		2011-01-30 05:52:17 PM

So this is what mens' hockey looks like when it's played by womens' hockey rules.

// the refs have swallowed their whistles so hard that people think a train's coming when they fart

Yah, they aren't checking each other, or doing anything like that. It's just some guys out goofing off playing hockey.

And holy toledo, a second offsides!

davidphogan		2011-01-30 05:54:03 PM

You don't?

This makes it sound like a freaking Twilight convention.

Or....it's the All-Star game, so no one is really smacking the shiat out of anyone else?

RsquaredW		2011-01-30 05:54:46 PM

dj_bigbird: And holy toledo, a second offsides!

Makeup call. For the entire first period.

RsquaredW		2011-01-30 05:55:48 PM

FiendishFellow05: Or....it's the All-Star game, so no one is really smacking the shiat out of anyone else?

I know *why* they're doing it, I just think it's funny that the score is looking more and more like it comes from a lacrosse game.

dj_bigbird: Lots of fun so far, even for a jaded hockey fan like me. I've loved having the mic on Cam Ward.

i guess im jaded this year. seems really cheesy.

anybody see roenick ask byfuglien to rap? seriously awkward.

RsquaredW		2011-01-30 06:00:22 PM

Fun fact: the Wikipedia page (new window) appears to be updated in real time.

I hadn't even thought about it that way(and I played lacrosse briefly). Good point.

7-6, Team Lidstrom, after two.

I hope Thomas is mic'd for the third period, but I don't see it.

/Oh boy, hockey comic book heroes. This ought to be....weird.

ravenssettle		2011-01-30 06:01:22 PM

Guardian Project is stupid as shiat.

MBrady		2011-01-30 06:01:35 PM

Okay, very dumb question.

What's with the team names?

Land Ark		2011-01-30 06:01:54 PM

Well this is easily the stupidest thing ever.

Alex Chilton		2011-01-30 06:02:14 PM

I know they say this game is for the kids, but do kids even enjoy watching this turd?

Does Not Matter		2011-01-30 06:03:27 PM

This

FiendishFellow05		2011-01-30 06:04:32 PM

MBrady: Okay, very dumb question.

What's with the team names?

Named for the team captains(Eric Stall and Nicklas Lidstrom, respectively).

This is incredibly dumb. I laughed at the Boston Bruin, though - nice psychotic bear there.

Techhell		2011-01-30 06:04:38 PM

Meh.

This hockey sucks.

Also, CBC and TSN have really farked up on the hosting. It's just painful, and looks like most of the things have been sprung on the players. They're stiff and nervous, and just plain blah on camera.

Give the players a bit of a warning about what is going to happen next year, and DON'T LET TSN HOST ANYTHING!!!

/Go... uh, don't care who wins.

ravenssettle		2011-01-30 06:04:38 PM

Alex Chilton: I know they say this game is for the kids, but do kids even enjoy watching this turd?

As a 23 year old I'd like to say that yes I like it.

FiendishFellow05		2011-01-30 06:06:27 PM

ugh, FTF me. I knew I was going to do that eventually.

The Trooper		2011-01-30 06:06:41 PM

What the hell is going on.

Practical_Draconian		2011-01-30 06:07:03 PM

The St. Louis Blues guy with the sax has potential as a Deadpool gimmick, the rest ... meh to ugh

Techhell		2011-01-30 06:07:30 PM

Hmm.

Stan Lee stuff wasn't nearly as bad as I had expected. It's still rather silly, but making super heroes out of hockey teams is silly anyway.

BuffsandEagles		2011-01-30 06:07:44 PM

+1 to subby for the reference...

The Trooper		2011-01-30 06:09:36 PM

They should've just used the Bruin's Rules bear, he's much more intimidating.
