Ovie, Burns, Klingberg, Stammer, Subban in the Hardest Shot contest.
No Seth Jones, because apparently he got "ill" and misses the weekend. I remember Toews got a suspension for something similar, but I guess Jones remembered to send in a doctor's note.

McJesus wins fastest skater. Still no-one able to (fairly) beat Gartner's record.
No running starts allowed this time. A little anticlimactic with skaters doing their lap all alone.

No. Unless you're into Flo Rida.
Ovechkin won hardest shot, but it was pretty underwhelming with no Weber. Subban was second.
The other events were pointless, but according to all the interviews every player was having "so much fun". Roenick seemed like he was on coke.

In his defense, he always seems like that...

How was the new shot accuracy thing?

Okay in principle, but the dumb part was that sometimes the light would go off mid-shot. The shot can hit dead center of the plate, but it doesn't count because the target has moved.

I thought the shot accuracy was much better. I like that they made the guys think and have to hit a designated target. You don't want the light going off mid-shot, shoot quicker. Two shots per target was what Boyle said he was aiming for, same with Boeser.

1st game notes. I haven't seen white pants since The Oakland Seals wore them. Did Kane break a sweat? Hellybucks an All Star?

Kid Rock's set not being able to taken down quickly due to some glitch delayed the start of the third game and probably lost a ton of viewers with slight interest that got bored.
Nice work NHL. lol

What's funny is Hilary Knight's time in the shooting accuracy contest, when she was demoing how it worked, was good for 3rd overall. Behind only Boyle and Boeser. Pretty fucking impressive.

Just saw Kucherov's no-shot for the hat trick. Pretty slick move, ASG or not.

I was wondering where the Great Pierre Mc was but then they said he was recovering from prostate surgery so I wish him well for that. Looks like he will be back for Olympics.
