Mere 3rd & 4th liners must never be given the opportunity to show up ALL STARS on the national stage. (John Scott says 'hi.') The NHL should randomly select non-all star players from every team in the league (1+ per team) and make a 5th team out of them. Call them the "Small Stars" and have them come compete with the rest of the teams. 2 Quote

Point of the ASG is to make the stars "larger than life" not show their warts. Quote

matter2003 Posted January 9, 2019 Report Posted January 9, 2019 Funny how Okposo wins the accuracy contest yet he excels in games at shooting the puck right into the goalie. Quote

As I recall the league shut that down somewhat nefariously. And famously, Bettman tried hard to talk Scott out of showing up for his ASG. How dare the fans sully the sanctity of... an exhibition event ostensibly meant to entertain the fans... 1 Quote

Funny you mention that. I was thinking the same thing last night. His shooting might be about as good as Larsson's. His wrist shot might be accurate, but it has absolutely no power behind it. Quote
dudacek Posted January 9, 2019 Report Posted January 9, 2019 Yet how many other Sabres have actually beat goalies with their wrister as often as Kyle has? Thank god for Skinner. Quote

Thank god for Skinner. True. I'm not sure Reinhart, for example, has picked the corner on a goalie this season even once. Jack probably has the best shot on the team and even he goes through his accuracy struggles. Skinner is, easily, the best natural goal scorer we have. Edited January 11, 2019 by Thorny Quote

It's reversed in the current iteration and in this artwork and the color balance seems off. Not enough blue on the lower part of the jersey.

It's been pointed out, though, that the lack of blue on the lower part of the current white jersey is largely due to the split stripes design. It was bad enough on the Reeboks, where the outer blue stripes was split with silver, but is just plain dumb on the Adidas, where they are split with white. Going with solid blue on those would help a lot: Note: the blue center strip on the bottom looks better when you add the blue pants with it: Edit: I just looked at the link and I see that they concept already fixes the two-tone blue/white stripes. Oops. Edited January 11, 2019 by carpandean 1 Quote

Thank god for Skinner. I'm just saying, he lobs a lot of softies that are easily stopped. Sure, he gets one through here and there, but I really wish his shot was a little harder. 1 Quote
