I blame all-star game failure on the city in which Tark hails from. They stuffed the ballot box, half the damn Eastern conference does not deserve to be in the starting lineup.

It's normal we are hosting the All-star game and Hockey is very important to this city.

I understand them wanting to, but I think the system for bringing in starters is flawed. It ruins it for everyone who is not in the rink wearing a canadians jersey... and everyone at home.

honestly if i wanted to watch the canadiens play i'd tune in to one of their games h:
at this point its like watching them play a normal game with a couple exception

i always saw part of the reason for all-star games as to give some friendship between teams that normally play against eachother, but now the starting line is basically guys who play together all the time anyways.

Semin was hysterical. Staal coulda whooped him, he's a big kid.

All Star game is a joke, I'd agree that the Skills Comp is where it's at.
