1-0 Comets Marino from Gaunce and Friesen

Bartkowski just can't win a puck-battle to save his life....Jesus

True.

But isn't there something wrong with the league when they don't address the Rory Fitzpatrick loophole?

With the whole injury thing, haven't some players had to sit the first game back after the ASG because they didn't attend due to injury?

Anyway, the game is a joke, the league as they hype it have been the only group in the past taking it seriously. Maybe they should bring in a few more fringe all star players that would take it more seriously?

I was curious to see what Scott could do. There has to be some skill there like when Marek Malik scored in the shootout...

Is it a loophole? the league wants to treat their fans like MLB and give them some input, but MLB doesn't change the rules of their ASG. I think this is the fans showing their dislike for the ASG by making a mockery of it. I won't be watching the ASG and I haven't watched 1 since Brett Hull was in the league.

Vrbata and the twins need to increase Vrbby's TDL value tonight while they're together.

Too much manipulation, like the reffing and game management.

I was a bit curious with the format this year, I wonder if the players will go at it hard or not for risk of injury? If I don't bother watching any of it, I'll live. Might be a good break from the league anyway.

Agreed, some people were outraged that Derek Jeter kept getting voted in as the starting SS, but the fans wanted him there. But as long as being selected or playing in the game doesnt hold any worth (ie HOF cases) then we shouldnt worry about it

The winning team in the MLB allstar game get home advantage in the world series, that's the difference: they are playing for something.

Nice

Etem has done wonders for Vey, very nice

It's funny how the NHL put up money this year for the winning team.

Not if your team isn't going to the playoffs.

About time they scored first but a pretty blah game overall so far.

Did anyone assist Vey's goal? NHL still says unassisted

Vey was starting to be better before Etem got here

The best players tend to play for the best teams, in this case playoff teams. Seems like pretty good incentive to me considering lterally every team in the west has got a chance to make the playoffs

I think it was off a turnover?

Stupid lazy penalty by Prust because he's not fast enough to skate with the play.

But only one of them will get it.

Quit lowering his trade value.

Shortside goal

I think you're missing the point: It gives all the players incentive to actually try in an otherwise terrible and boring game.

Whoops

Prust had trade value?!
