SABRES 0311 Posted January 25, 2019 Report Posted January 25, 2019 Events in the skills competition The skills competition will include six different events, where a winner will be crowned based off their individual performance. Fastest Skater The faster skater will be determinded by a timed lap around the entire length of the rink. Eight players will get to choose which direction they would like to skate and the skater with the fastest of the eight times is the winner. In the event of a tie, the two (or more) tied skaters will do an additional lap to decide the winner. Premier Passer Eight players will compete in this challenge. The first of three events is target passing, with players completing passes to targets that light up randomly. Once complete, each player moves on to the neutral zone, where he must complete four give-and-go passes. The final event is to complete saucer passes over obstacles and into miniature nets. The player who completes all three tasks in the fastest time wins. Save Streak The save streak is a goaltending competition. Five goaltenders will compete against teams of opposing divisions with the goal of making the most consecutive saves on at least nine shootout attempts. A goaltender's round in the competition cannot end on a save, so if the captain's shot is stopped, then the goalie continues to face shooters until a goal is scored. If the divisional captain scores on the ninth attempt of the round, the round is over. The goaltender with the longest consecutive save streak at the end of the round is the winner. In the event of a tie, the goaltender with the most overall saves wins. Puck Control Eight players will compete in the puck control relay, which consists of three challenges. The first is stickhandling, where the player controls a puck through a series of eight pucks in a straight line. After successfully completing that challenge, the competitor will navigate through a series of eight cones in a zig-zag formation, before finishing up by guiding the puck through a lighted gate. The skater with the fastest time through the obstacle course wins. Hardest Shot Six players will compete in the hardest shot competition. Each shooter will attempt two shots per round and his fastest shot of the two will be recorded. After each player's first attempt, the order of shots for second attempts will be based on the speed in the first round, with the slowest shooting first. The player who records the fastest shot in the competition is declared the winner. Accuracy Shooting Eight players will compete in the accuracy shooting competition. Each player will shoot from 25 feet out and will need to aim for the target that is lit up. The player who breaks all five targets in the fastest time wins. Quote

Which events are we hoping to see Jack and Jeff in? Eichel - Speed Skating Skinner - Accuracy shooting? Quote

IKnowPhysics Posted January 25, 2019 Report Posted January 25, 2019 One of the better pieces of media I've seen from the NHL lately, with lots of Easter Eggs, in this remake of the Silicon Valley opening: Jack's Wings Space Needle coming soon Gritty KO'ing Al, then running up to the museum a la Rocky Quote

PerreaultForever Posted January 26, 2019 Report Posted January 26, 2019 Enjoy it if you like this sort of thing. I haven't watched one in decades and won't start now. For me the allstar weekend is always just an annoying break in the hockey schedule and with this 5 day break tacked on it's super annoying. Can't wait for Tuesday. 1 Quote
bobs0108 Posted January 26, 2019 Report Posted January 26, 2019 I went to the All Star game when it was in Atlanta. The only way I could get tickets for it was to get season tickets which my brother and I did. It was $175 for the weekend in the upper level. I thought the skills competition was cool but the game was whatever. Still the weepsas fun. Quote
darksabre Posted January 26, 2019 Report Posted January 26, 2019 5-day YouTube TV trial? Don't mind if I do. Gotta watch Jack and Sam clown around Quote

darksabre Posted January 26, 2019 Report Posted January 26, 2019 That lap by Kendall Coyne was excellent. Eichel currently leading fastest skater. McDavid beats him out. 1 Quote
North Buffalo Posted January 26, 2019 Author Report Posted January 26, 2019 McDavid barely beats Jack. Quote
