All Star Skills Competition, 1/27/18, 7:00pm, NBCSN

[darksabre]

Figured I'd start a thread for this since I'm sure some will be tuning in.

 

Will it be fun?

 

Will Jack do well?

 

Will the NHL ruin it?

[drnkirishone]

No, hopefully, yes

Do we know yet what Jack is participating in?

 

I’m excited for it. I really like this event!

[Randall Flagg]

I hope we don't see the Jack that shows up in the Sabres' version of the skills competition, because he cares so little that it's almost painful :lol: 

And he's not really good at things like shootouts. His shot is elite when there are guys draped on him and blocking them and just in a game setting in general, not sure how it is when it's just him, the puck, and the net. 

I would just use him as the one-timer guy in the part of the relay that ends with goalies trying to score from the other end. 

I probably won't watch though

[spndnchz]

I think Jack is doing the fastest skate.

[Randall Flagg]

I think Jack is doing the fastest skate.

Do we think his skating style will be conducive to this race? It's full-length right, so probably?

 

He ain't beating MacKinnon or McDavid but who else approaches his speed?

[darksabre]

I think Jack is doing the fastest skate.

Confirmed by the Sabres.

[Brawndo]

Jack confirmed this during an interview with Brian Duff this AM

Fastest Skater is the First Event

[ubkev]

Fastest Skater is the First Event

I think it always is.

[darksabre]

Let's see what Jack can do

[Winston]

Is this a 7:30 start or an NHL 7:30 start?

[ubkev]

I bet a zillion dollars that we are at +10 minutes before fastest skater starts.

I thought we were going to miss the start waiting for the Tully's bartender to get it on the TV

[Mustache of God]

So Ron Mclean is interviewing a group of Pirates and one of the pirates has a "Got Milf?" pin on. Classic.

You could drive to Tully's in Syracuse and not miss the start.

I get grouchy because I like watching this event. And I'm going to bed at 8, so I'm only going to get to see 1 event, more than likely.

I own all 3 Atlantic division all star goalies in fantasy hockey. Just sayin.

Lundqvist plays in the Partick, not the Adams. Just sayin'. :p

Haha

[Mustache of God]

seems dangerous for the fastest skaters to not be wearing a helmet?

[ubkev]

Jack, that was ugly.

 

 

But fast! Atta boy

Aaaand McDavid blows everyone away.

[Brawndo]

Third Place, nice Job Jack

[TrueBlueGED]

Third Place, nice Job Jack

 

I wonder how he'd have fared straight red line to red line. I feel like the turns aren't conducive for this contest given his stride.

Do we think his skating style will be conducive to this race? It's full-length right, so probably?

 

He ain't beating MacKinnon or McDavid but who else approaches his speed?

 

You were saying ?@!!?!?!!?! :p

[Mustache of God]

This passing competition is a joke, especially the 2nd part of it.
