Should be awesome, probably get some good quotes from Alex about Kid/Geno



Though I not a fan of either it should make for some good television.

DREGER: NHL CONSIDERING FULL-SCALE OVERHAUL OF ALL-STAR GAME

The NHL is considering a full scale overhaul of the NHL All Star game.

While the concept hasn't been officially signed off on, sources say how the players are selected to play may change for this year's event in North Carolina.

If the changes are approved, the East vs. West format would no longer exist.

Fan voting would still be utilized to determine the game's starters, while the remaining 36 players will be selected by NHL's hockey operations department.

The captains of each team will be voted on by the participating players, and those captains and alternate captains will draft their teams as part of a live event in Raleigh during All Star weekend. 
Discussions with the NHLPA will continue before an official announcement is made. However, the expectation is the league and union will agree to the changes in the coming days.

I agree

 

[physicx]

if it does pass (and im hearing that it already has been passed today), will it be the obvious crosby vs ovy for captains or will it be vets like lidstrom vs someone else (would normally say marty but unless the devs give him some help he might not even be selected)

BRUINS!!

 

[True Blues]

Bruins.

By the way, I love the new All-Star format. Interestingly, the NHL-- unlike other professional sports leagues-- seems more willing to tinker with the format of their ASG (e.g. the North America vs.World concept they ran in the early 2000's).

can the kovalchuk era in nj get any worse? goodness

 

[bjm5295]

What a third period.

I bet Thorny had a few choice words in the locker room after going down 4-2 and it apparently worked.

 

[addictedtofreshkicks]

the New York Islanders...

Right?!

 @ the Pens getting destroyed by the Bruins. How are you going to give up 5 goals in the 3rd period though?

He can't be pissed about playing out of position anymore, wonder what his next excuse will be.

 

[philballa09]

later but Giroux resiging

 Carter being close

 and Lenio too

Kovy is a bad fit just like Zhederv is with the Flyers. Frustrating really

 

[bjm5295]

Shawn Thornton has equal goals to Kovy, for $575,000 (i think) while Kovy makes like $8 Mil

I really like the idea of a fantasy draft-esque ASG. Mad feelings gonna get hurt though by teammates of the captains.

 

[dmxfury]

Bruins straight up rolled Pitt that third period, this team has some issues to work out

 

[frenchblue23]

Kovy was busy paper chasing in the offseason that he forgot to bring his game to the ice.

i realize hes prolly not gonna get voted in, but this dude semin scores a hat trick and 5 pts yesterday and isnt on the freakin ballot

edit - well, kovy scored the game winner tonight. too bad it was against us

 

[lvjordan238]

The All Star ballot is such a joke. No Visnovsky?

You don't have to be on the ballot, to be chosen by the coaches, or whoever picks the rest of the team, though, right? 

 

[bjm5295]

No Horton?

Should replace Krejci.

C'est vrai.

Kovy sniped last night.

 

[solemate96]

What is up with the inconsistency from the Bruins lately? Way too many games coming up for The Bruins and hope they find some consistency and rattle off at least a 3-4 game winning streak.

 

[physicx]

8-2 loss to nyr and a lil brawl

i dont mind losing to a certain extent cause we are in a rebuild but holy crap that was dreadful

 

[doublejs07]

Avery TAGGED Smid...
