I think they should do a 4-4 tournament. All players on expiring contracts of 3 mill or less. 4 teams, 2 games Friday. Winners play for the ship Saturday night after the consolation game. 1st place team all get 1/2 of their yearly salary, second place 1/4. You would see some (frank)ing effort.

Schofield beat multiple nhl skaters in the fastest skater challenge and Decker was the fastest in the passing challenge a few years ago. Are you a ECHL player? Are you qualified to judge what elite women hockey players are able to do?

And why aren't they playing pro hockey? Because they are beer league caliber players.

Ron Hextall says the Penguins are not trading their 1st round pick. So prepare for an angry Ryan Wilson blog tomorrow.

No, No let him go. I say they bring a womens hockey team to play the worst AHL team in a given season, winner gets a bonus of 75% of revenue generated. Ill bet the womens team doesn't finish the game and if they do its a blow out by double digits. Look they might be able to skate fast and be accurate but throw them into a real game and it wouldn't be a good outcome for them.

“For the kids”

Exactly. As a kid I absolutely loved seeing the pros actually display their amazing skills in an environment where they could.

It was a jumbled mess. I liked the fun/outside events, but air those (entirely), when they are taking a break from the live events to zam the ice. So there’s no break in action.

IMO, go back to the 4 division skills competition where you kept points for winning events. I used to love the breakaway goalie challenge where t

When I was a kid I was I was perfectly happy with watching a 5-5 game with the best players in the league. At least it looks like a hockey game.
