I can't believe we're even talking about this... guys were getting lambasted for "trying too hard". It's a comedy on ice and has no bearing on anything resembling real-life hockey.

My 10 yr. old son said the game was like watching men's league hockey. ie, even he, the target audience, was bored to tears.

Johnny Hockey. He was carried.

That whole Greek slave litter bed thing was a little odd. Should be a good blog topic at least.

But a game where there was no defense, and nobody had to put any effort in, I figure would have been the perfect game for Phil to succeed.

You figured wrong, I guess.

I still remember someone calling in to TSN radio and saying Phaneuf needed to be traded because he was a -4 at whenever the last all-star game was. He was almost in tears.

The guy then added that Mark Fraser was going to be a 1D and they hung up on him.

Beirness is a babe. Besides video calling has really changed the landscape of long distance relationships, audio phone sex is unnecessary now. No need to hear her if you don't want to.

Great allstar game...should have stopped after two periods.

Phil didnt score a point. haha

I figured he is used to pond hockey so he would lit it up. Maybe the top players in the game showed Phil how easy it is to score when they abandon defense too.

Her voice is a little weird, but she is pretty fine.

And yet... since 2012 they have diversified their drafting a lot. Only one player has played an NHL game, however I feel a good part of the last 3 draft classes will see NHL action. Some with sustainable presence. They're getting better at it I think. 2006 was a year where all but one player has now played more than 40 NHL games, which is impressive. Lets hope for more of that.

I agree. I feel like they have changed up their drafting philosophy lately minus the gauthier pick. A lot of their guys do have some upside and could surprise people. I liked the fact that we went with nylander over Ritchie this past draft. In the past we would've went with Ritchie.

phil getting some chirps

didnt he beat seguin in a foot race?

i didnt really pay much attention to the all star stuff.

I find her obsessive interest in football offputting. It's such an idiotic game.

Phil knows the poop show it would cause if he was lights out in the ASG after serving donuts for 2 weeks. Was probably skating away from passes on purpose
