This NHL All Star Draft is Pretty Cool

[MadBadger]

Would love to see this for the other leagues, especially the NBA

1. It's awesome how they're doing this.

Hope they do it every year.

[Auggie]

2. Absolutely agree

Love to see it in baseball too, especially if they mixed leagues -- but first they'd have to drop that absurd World Series home-team advantage rule.

3. I thought the way Eric Staal made brother Marc sweat was pretty funny.

I'm heading to the skills competition pretty soon. Then tomorrow, the All Star game.

4. I definately liked the concept also

and really think the NBA fans would agree.

About the only downside is that hockey players aren't as flamboyant as their NBA counterparts. It got a little drab.

5. Your downside is my upside, and one of the reasons i like hockey so much.

I like that the players are down to Earth. They certainly seem a lot more humble than most other sport's stars are, and i think that's a plus. :)

6. I totally agree that I love hockey way more than basketball for that very reason

but this was a show, not the actual game.

It would have been more entertaining with the personalities that basketball players have.

7. I think Ovi is one one of the few players that's flamboyant.

And, love him or hate him, he seems to be having a great time whenever I see him.

I can't wait for real games to start tomorrow so we can see some actual body checks and slapshots!

[PRETZEL]

8. Well, I hate him,

but do agree that he does seem to be having fun.

[Forkboy]

9. I can't decide if I like him or not.

Some of his antics bug me, but he's also very fun to watch.

10. You mean the juvenile goofiness?

That's not personality. That's arrested development.
