Having women play with the men in the skills competition was a total joke. I’m sorry but inclusion is ruining everything in this country.

What part of having a few of the world's best female hockey players participating to promote women's hockey hurt you?

Don't worry he's still getting over the fact women are allowed to vote

There's no harm in letting them get exposure during the all star week and try to help their game grow, it's not like it's men vs women full contact in a game situation

Usually a big fan of the skills competition. The lack of trying, breaking up the events and PK Subban being ultra cringey made that a big time joke last night.

The inclusion of the best woman in hockey has been awesome. They were in several of the events last year and they did more than hold there own.

That is a you problem.

The “Skills” Competition has been a joke for a long time now. Re-watching late 90s & 00s ❤️

I'm suppose that letting women vote ruined politics as well, in your super logical mind.

No biggie for the women to be there but what did bother me was the lack of the goalies trying on their shootout attempts and trying to sell it as outstanding on the broadcast..really though, lack of trying all around sinks it... among other things. My little guy and I had it on while building a lego set and it barely kept either of our attentions.

Ya, the goalies could have tried a little harder on those particular attempts but they weren't half as bad as the skaters shooting on them. I thought the goalies shooting on the open net and the accuracy contest were the only slightly enjoyable part of the night.

I tuned in briefly to the 3v3 game tonight (only because I'm bored at work) and it was pretty bad. I'd much rather see the previous cup winning team play against an all star team like back in the day.

Turned on the skills competition. Saw someone wearing a miami vice suit and off it went.

Tenders are pretty much the only players that have any risk of getting hurt. I wouldn't try either.

The only thing missing was the clown car with all the players coming out of it.
Horrible in every sense of the word. Bucci is Keith Olberman in drag Both were terrible people in their prime and both are no longer relevant Just bad all the way around. Disgraceful at best. NHL should be ashamed. It is now lower than a snake's belly. No way to go but up. But up might be just cancel and it would be better for everyone

Exactly it is an NHL skills event. Having women that couldn't even make the ECHL, that would also likely get dummied in any competitive beer league is a joke.

Nobody cares about women's sports. If they did we wouldn't have to try to promote them.

Wait until next year. I'm hearing players will wear their preferred pronouns on their jerseys instead of their last names.

Nice retort. I have to assume you have no argument to my statement.

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?
