By important I just meant that people actually want to watch the game. I haven't watched an all-star game in about 15 years. The only part of the all-star weekend I watch is the skills competition because it's the only part that's entertaining. The actual game is usually boring as fuck because the players don't give a shit. Maybe they'll give a shit now, I doubt it, but maybe they will.

Man, the flyers are really looking solid.

That's a great idea

They sure do. Kind of makes the fan of a weaker team jealous

Wings are looking good. So is the Central Division in general. Whoever said the Blues are the best team in the league is crazy, but they are good, along with Columbus, and Chicago is going to find a groove eventually.

I hope you're right about Chicago. They just haven't found any consistency at all so far. I guess that'll happen when you lose half your roster. As far as I'm concerned, Marty Turco is not the right guy in net -- and neither is Corey Crawford. From what I've seen, they've been out-shooting their opponents most nights, but not getting the big saves when they need them.

Holy shit did Jeff Carter get paid. I hope Leino is next so that I cam safely get a jersey.

my Bruins are doiing ok, Tim Thomas seems to be right back where he was 2 years ago, but I can't wait to see them with all the injured players back in the line-up


Cheers !

My flyers are looking REAL good after the big win vs the power play all star penguins last night...

Curious what the plan at goalie is, with Leighton coming off injured reserve today.
