Besides the fact that it's the only hockey on this week

Why are we watching the All Star Game?



  • It's our first chance to shit on the new uniforms

  • We'll get to see the skills competition, which only happens once a year (or when the score is tied at the end of overtime)

  • It's the only hockey on this week (crap, sorry!)

  • Debuting our new drinking game, where every time Gary Bettman insincerly praises the fans, we drink

  • The sublime assistant coaching of Barry Trotz



  • It's the only hockey on this week (OK, OK- Jesus!)

  • Where else are you going to see Thornton and Cheechoo on the same line?

  • To be able to witness, if only for one day, a hockey game that discourages hitting, fighting, incidental contact, hooking, holding, and gives Ovechkin and Crosby room to stand in front of the net unmolested

  • It's the only hockey on this week

What, do you have a better reason?

We're all ears.

I'm watching hoping that they "mike-up" JR! oh he's not an allstar? Maybe they'll mike-up that witty Brett Hull for some playfull ribbing!

I would give up Phil Kessel's remaining nut to have them mike up someone and get a kevin stevens style live audio

"ya tit fuckah!"
