Skipping a part of the All Star break to...skate at an outdoor rink in Montana is something you'd only hear about Sid doing lol Not a beach, not a vacation, he's skating
full pads too
Some of the best ice you’ll ever skate on. Even though it’s outdoor, it still has refrigerant like a normal indoor rink.
Getting extra practice in. 😄
Legend
Pastrnak had a mic drop answer during an interview at the end of the game. After being boo'd by the Leafs fans all weekend, he was asked what he thought of the Mathews/Leafs team winning the final game. He replied, "Good for them, they needed some wins....they got one!" 😆🤣
Taking a run at Sid for not making it to the all-star draft is a bold strategy.
Sid can do whatever the f he wants at this point in his career😂Funny that people are riding him for not making it. Likewise with Kuch.
Agreed, no one cares and criticism of either guy won’t go very far in any type of hockey circle
NHL: Let's put on an event where we showcase the best players!
NHL fans: Why should the best players show up?
😂😂😂 right?! Sid is going to go down as one of the greatest ever and they are mad he wasn’t at some clown 🤡 show! Funny thing is he was working on his craft to get better!! Sid wants rings not being drafted by Justin Bieber 😂!
@@WuRuiDe I know right! I try to remember the point of it is to grow the game, hold an affordable event for kids and families, but at the same time you just worry about players getting injured and costing themselves mental and physical rest.
It’s good for new players’ resume to negotiate contacts as a “2-time all star” or whatever but apart from that, just get back to the games and leave these guys alone haha.
Nah, with Kuch, either show up and try or just don't come. I have no problem with guys skipping, but showing up just to fuck the dog out there is lame. How many kids in the crowd came to the All Star Skills Comp to see their fave player Kuch light it up and then had to watch him suck all the dicks instead?
The All Star game is basically one big scrimmage with the best Hockey players.
Yeah it's not a game anymore, just boring
@@lamborghinicentenario2497 agreed 💯💯💯
This is all all star games. Still fun to watch if I happen to be watching TV
regardless of some of the misses by the NHL for this ASG, we should at least recognize the massive improvements when compared to last year. I think the overall format/plan for the weekend was immensely better and the main issues were the incredibly awkward hockey players in front of a massive crowd at the draft and some of the skill competitions being a new/bit complicated which confused the guys.
the NHL repeatedly makes the exact same mistake of thinking that NHL players naturally have charisma and experience with working a crowd that will make them fun to see in settings like this. They just don't. They're incredible media trained. You could see that during the draft, where the hosts were trying to start some banter but they'd default to cookie cutter media friendly answers that were "safe". The NHL has a few big personalities but expecting all of them to put on a show like its the WWE is ridiculous
I think they made the right choice in regards to the players in front of massive crowds by giving each team a celebrity captain. Buble and Arnett really carried the draft. I think they should build on this by bringing comedians and personalities like them to off set the rigidness of a lot of nhl players.
I used to love hockey, I barely watch it anymore ever since the league went super woke. The NHL just doesn’t feel the same as it did in my childhood in the early 2000’s
@@BD-1-And-Only cope harder, no one ever grows up and thinks "this thing from my childhood is still exactly the same and just as wonderful hooray!"

@@AcidFlash123 Better than Claus's puppet blackface.
Old man Sid dgaf
Knights beat the Oilers
Just play 5v5, 3 regular length periods. It was so fun watching the old games where the players played hockey and not a gimmicky show piece.
So would it just be two teams instead of four?
Yeah, all-star games in the 80's and early to mid 90's were competitive when it was east vs west. Players cared enough to try back then. There were still no body checking or big slapshots (once in a while, there were), but at least everyone was skating and trying.
In yesterday's game where Team Hughes vs Team Matthews, Boeser noticeably didn't even try to skate. Guy skated like an 80 year old man. He's not the fastest skater, but he's not that slow. It seems like he just didn't want to get hurt and barely tried. Miller wasn't much better. At least Hughes was trying.
@@baiqi44Agree about the time period you mentioned, just a normal skills competition, the okd timer's game & a normal east vs west. It was fun without the gimmicky lameness.
@@baiqi44 The last NHL all-star game I saw where it looked like they were even half trying was probably around 1978. They used to actually have All-Star games with realistic hockey scores like 4-3, but that was 40-50 years ago.
I agree, and take it back to the fan voting per conference. This four team one period each crap is so terrible. And all these washed up celebrity crap is pointless
I think at this point it’s fair to say nobody cares about any sports all star game. NHL, NBA, NFL, all of them.
I think most people would do with just getting a list of names submitted for who made it and let’s continue on with the season.
All all star games, to me, are done for 3 groups of people, kids, casual, and new fans.
I think MLB is better than the rest of them! Can't really play baseball half heartily though
@@csolivais1979 100%
the mlb is solid
Yup
“Connor McJesus” 😂
Connor McGreedy more like (love his skills but donate your million in price money at least to charity or so, they’re all multimillionaires just having an endorsement weekend anyway). So sad really.
lol shutup
Dudes given more to charities than you ever will. Oh no, he was asked by the commisioner for his thoughts! God forbid he give them! (You're an idiot). So sad really.

Edmontonians were calling him that even before his 1st NHL game. It's hilarious I know
I'd scrap it and just give everyone 5-7days off in February to recharge a bit.
If anything that break should be over the holidays
A lot of people home watching sports on TV over Christmas and New Year’s. Better to stick it in January or February.
you are hired
Its for kids. As a kid I loved it, as an adult I dont care, but its still big for newer fans and kids to watch their heroes.
That's a good point.
Yeah, but heroes lol, its a little bit exagered.
100%. When I was a kid, I loved All Star games for all sports. Now I don't really care. I still watched a fair bit, but it's totally different to root for your favorite players as a kid.
@@XxKidnoffxX not in the slightest. Heroes is a very accurate term to use. If you played hockey growing up the best players in the NHL were your heroes. they were the people you looked up to and wanted to be one. Kids all over the world wear their jerseys like their favourite players, get their sticks and tape them like their favourite players and model the way they play after the. Heroes is a dead on accurate term
This was the first all star game I said he’s as I
Just got into hockey about two
Months ago . I was beyond confused lol!
it was all worth it for the new auston matthews reaction gif
As a Torontonian this is my first experience with the NHL ALL Star Festivities. All weekend I noticed people from all over Canada come to Toronto. Was great to see..but im glad its all over now
The All-star game has been a joke for as long as I can remember... 40+ years. It was half decent when it was the Campbell Conference vs. the Wales Conference...
Nah, East vs West was pretty good. I wanna say in 04, they were playing their asses off and it evem went to OT. But for the most part, you're right.
They have to go back to East vs West
Waaaay better than last year!!!!
That's a low bar. It's all bad.
Last year was a pile of dog sh*t so its not impressive
I didn't watch last year, but the still shots shown here make me glad I didn't.
Still trash.
Nah
Thanks for this video. I'm in the UK and don't watch the All Star game, but all the information you provided in this video was really appreciated.
Another Amazing video keep up the good work my man
I mean looking back at it Kucherov was pretty entertaining, i’ve heard way more of his performance than the actual winner McDavid lol
Lmao, fair point
Well, in a similar fashion that watching a train wreck is entertaining…
@@DeannaGilbert616Train wreck is horrible but will still end up on the news
"McDavid is good at hockey" isn't news. "Kucherov is an asshole" is news.
@@KS-xk2sono it’s not it’s been his personality forever, and I’m a bolt fan and we love him for it
always such good content
As a kid it was fun seeing Mario's East beat Gretzky's West again and again.
Bubbly single handled swayed my mind on him with that interview it was fucjing hilarious.
When I was a teenager I used to tape the All Star game. It was the 90's and it was literally 1 game, not three games. Still remember Al MacInnis having the hardest slap shot in his blues jersey. But as I have grown honestly I just see the All Star weekend as a "break" from Hockey. Its got so boring and dull. (Never mind these jerseys look like Carls Jr had relations with McDonald)
I'm a purest. If the game doesn't have some sports, historical value, I don't care about it. That includes what may be the best annual, sports all-star game, the MLB All-Star game. The NHL all-star weekend (or whatever they call it now), gives the players a mid-season break, but it matters squat to me. The NFL Pro Bowl is there alongside it in terms of meaninglessness. These days what do that activity? I hear that it's now flag football. I haven't seen any of those "all-star" events since I was 12 years old.
Mathews winning the MVP over Forsberg or Cat is ridiculous
Agree... and or over Barzal too. Those 3 guys were what, 2 or 3 points higher than Matthews and Matthews only won it because he's in Toronto, which means rigged. A lot of people might've bet money on Debrincat, Forsberg or Barzal for MVP and this is completely unfair for those people. Thought the NHL was all about fairness. How could they let the hometown people pick the MVP?
i enjoyed the all-star weekend, and the highlight for me is exactly that reaction by matthews. i lost it. completely hilarious.
and at least we can say the "leafs" won something this year, haha
Glad I’m not the only one who thought that this year had been weird in the way that there has been a lot of players checking into rehab
Kids these days are raised soft, first minor setback and theircworld crumbles.
Didn't know Lucic was a kid but ok
Maybe they're just realizing its better to deal with problems now instead of turning to pills/booze/gambling/whatever and ending up like a lot of bankrupt ex-pros ?
@@tt128556Hell yeah! In my day we solved problems like real men - violence, booze addiction, coke, and the inevitable slide into failing relationships, homelessness, and self-deletion like real men!
2:26 FINALLY. I've been saying for years the NHL would be so much better off focusing on international events instead of the all star game. Everyone would be all around happier too. Olympics, world championship, some form of a champion's league for hockey. Whatever it is, is 100x more productive for growing the game than the all star game, where half the players don't want to be there.
My favorite show!
Are you going to do an individual video on the Lindholm trade?
0:29 I lost it 😂
Skills competition was actually pretty good. One vs one and obstacle course were the highlights for me. Almost everyone actually tried.
I like the mini tournament set up. Not perfect but a lot better than it's been in recent times. Eg it was watchable vs being an abomination.
But pretty stupid having only 12 people participate in the skills. And I don’t like he format. I’d much rather see all the fastest guys compete against each other in fastest skater. And all the heaviest shooters compete against each other for hardest shot, etc. Not just a measly 12 guys total.
Edit: And only SEVEN teams were represented by those twelves players. You’re only allowing 7 of 32 fanbase to get excited about the skills comp. Pretty weak if you ask me.
@@DizzyDez613 No one's going to claim it was perfectly conceptualized or executed but it was a lot better than anything we've seen in at least 5 years. It's a model that they can build on going forward.
@@DizzyDez613 They had that in the early 90's (at least for the hardest shot). Not sure why they stopped doing it. The players who registered the hardest shots in the league actually got invited to the skills competition on all-star weekend to compete in the hardest shot. They weren't always the star players who competed. But of course, Al Macinnis ended up winning a lot of those because he truly did have one of the hardest shots in the league at the time and he also happened to be a star player.
@@DizzyDez613Players choose if they want to participate or not. And thats the problem with Kucherov, he said yes and took 1 spot, but didnt even try...
Ottawa seems to always find a way to win 2 or 3 out of every 4 games vs the wings and the game where Lalonde called dude a diver was just part of the latest episode of them finding a way. There were 3 calls that were very questionable that counted against the wings in that game. Lalonde was furious that dude dived and the ref called detroit yet again for a bs call after 2 of them already happened earlier in the game.
Huh
Its a weak and tired talking point--wings didn't get any calls for the hacks on G's hands, Walman went down after reaching for Brady's stick, and to top it off Timmy got his skate clipped when trying to dodge passed the defender. Like, take your bad calls with your no calls and be a grown up about it already lol
@@anhi399 calm down there guy. I’m just adding context as to why Lalonde was extra pissed and animated. It is what it is though.
Hockey Psychology thanks for the content you make, really. A lot of Leaf fans would be content bashing Kucherov for being the troll he is and Tampa or other rival teams but you give a pretty fair perspective on things and it’s refreshing. Love from Tampa!
This was a fun good all star game. Really enjoyed it
penguins are also 7 points out of a wild card..god forbid he do some conditioning for his game while his team still has a chance to win
Good report my man.
I’m starting to think you’re the guy I wanna get my news from.
I sure hope you get more subs.
125k isn’t enough.
Is that pic of Kessel holding a hot dog for real?? 🤣🤣
It was fun! ❤
I quite enjoyed it.
The NHL has destroyed the NHL All-Star game. The hardest shot is something worth watching but no more, for the rest I'd rather eat pizza and watch Monty Python reruns
The Prince of Wales v Campbell Conference, when divisions had names, Patrick, Norris, Adams, Smythe hockey was unique.
I haven’t watched the All-Star game in years
me neither in decades, I hate 3 on 3 hockey so I saved myself a lot of misery..if it ever becomes a relevant game again like it used to be years ago and not just a circus? I might then watch..but I doubt it lol
I enjoyed this year's All Stars more than last. The obstacle course was so much fun.
I overdosed on Shrooms when Bedard went down
😂😂😂
glad they fixed the skills. its always been my fave of the 2 days and I quite enjoyed it.
I honestly forgot that the All-Star game was even on.
all star events are great- no ones forced to watch it, its a nice little fun thing to do mid-season, and the kids love it. dont care that people dont care that it exists, they can use their free time however they want. its over and we're back to the regular season before you know it
at the end of the day the all star weekend is widely for the younger fans, i remember being a kid and loving it. so when you see someone like kucherov not trying it sends a bad message, if i was 10 and my favourite player was half assing it in the game id definitly be upset and confused.
Last time I watched the ASG was in 87-88 when Probert played!
You called Winnipeg “ win a pig” I’m stealing tht.
As a 37yo life long hickey fan i still watch it on espn+ later in the evening. Its definitely lostbits luster from the gilden tears of the lare 90s eatly 2000s. But i feel it still has a place in the game. The Olympics will help to break up the monotony of the event too.
All star game was fantastic this year. Much improved
Can someone explain how the allstar games work? I understand how to skills competition works but I've never really understood the games. Like how are the teams split up and why are they named after Mcdavo and Matthews?
I never watch the game itself, just the Skills Comp, but I really enjoyed it this year. I mean anything beats last year🤮, but I thought every event contributing to the end got me more invested. I just wish more players could have been involved, like accuracy shooting man Brock Boeser. It felt lame not having everyone there, but yeah.
absolutely love the Toronto Parade tracker
LOL now Kuch wants to participate? What a class act
There was no break away challenge
Sid might be one of the most well liked players in history
it was at the bowling alley on my bday party me and my frineds watched it
1) all star game is cool bc it raises a tonne of money for charity
2) olympics were never best-on-best hockey because some of the best players cant crack Canadas or USAs roster but randoms from Italy will play
3) jets and habs trade good for both teams.
This year was way better and not nearly as cringe as previous years. I enjoyed most of it and the players seemed to actually care and try with the exception of Kucherov which didn't surprise me as I didn't expect him to care. I really gained some respect for Nylander though, he seemed to really enjoy and embrace the competition. He just genuinely seemed to enjoy himself out there.
I completely forgot it was all star weekend until the first highlight of Kuch popped up on my recommended. I feel like I gave less of a shit about it than he did lol.
We need a counter at the end of the season to see how many times the Leafs parade counter went on and off.
As a Leafs fan, this made me lol
It seemed most of the players were having a good time. It was awesome to see Nate get play with Sid.
I liked the new format. The camera when need to be better and the draft better organized. Otherwise, it was pretty fun to watch.
Oh, if your going to have to end celebrities there have them perform over those terrible bands.
Kuch was trying in the one timer comp but after he got boo'd i think he just said F it
Remember when the NHL did North American all stars vs World? Bring that back, also the classic 90s/00s all star jerseys too
I had to decide between watching the All-Star Game and punching myself in the face. Now I have a black eye.
Leafs should be Happy…. Their Toronto Boys actually tasted victory 😂😂😂
It wasn't entirely dull; the mascot dodgeball game was enjoyable to watch.
Don’t forget that the same 5 players were involved in every skill
All in all good all star weekend. Better than the last two that’s for sure.
I’m a hockey fan, so the All-Star game isn’t designed for me. Now let’s get back to chasing the Cup.
My dude Kuuuuuuuuuuuch!!!!
I don't think I've watched NHL All Star game since 1998 or something. Was that when Owen Nolan scored on Dominik Hasek after pointing where he was going to shoot? Anyway, good video, thank you
Aging myself pretty hard here but they use to be ALOT of fun to watch. Mid to late 90’s all star games were top tier and they actually tried.
When no one knows...
what it’s like to play at that level.
Best,
Stanley
Idk if this works for the all star game but a cool idea would be to have the best 4 or so players from the NHL, who are willing, coach and draft a team of the best players from like bantam-midget. Then have a tournament. Those games would get so competitive and be way more fun to watch.
I scolded my dad just a tiny bit because he was complaining that they weren’t playing like if it was for the Stanley Cup. 😂 Players don’t want to hinder their season by wasting too much energy in the All Star Events and it’s not much like if they were given the choice to come once invited.
I watch a lot of hockey and not just me team, but the all-star game? I did not even turn on the tv the whole weekend.
I wish they’d put a player from every team in the skills competition
Stanley' Cup parade in Toronto?!
You may be the one on Shrooms sir.LMAO
I cannot remember the last NHL all-star game that I watched. Fifteen years ago plus????
All star weekend was decent and more fun to watch this year. 👍
I like the Winter Classic as well as the All Star Game, but I really am trying to see what is more enjoyable about the changes they made to the All Star Game over the last couple of years. I thought last year was really lame and I did think the skills competition was better this year, although I fail to see why we needed celebrity captains this year… especially one that seemed to have had discovered hockey the afternoon before the draft 🫤.
cant wait to see Crosby playing in the same team as McDavid an McKinnon for the olympics!
I'll take the World Cup in any firm we can get it, and hopefully, we get one in the summer. This 4 teams thing is stupid, Russia being omitted notwithstanding because Czechia, Slovakia, and Germany have high calibre NHL stars that their fans deserve to see playing for their countries
I enjoyed it but I don’t think Matthews was the mvp. I would have given it to Debrincat or Forsberg.
The only two reasons it was given to him were because 1. He scored two goals(which means he actually showed up) and 2. It was on home ice. If this was being done in Detroit, DeBrincat would have gotten MVP no questions asked, same for Forsberg and Nashville. It's all for show anyway, so at least the game itself and the shows were entertaining
Id much rather watch this channel than any allstar game.
❤️
NHL all star is turning into the NFL Super Bowl.
Totally stoked about the pros being allowed to play in the Olympics again. I always find it hard to watch those games otherwise, knowing that I'm never watching the best compete against the best.
It was pretty obvious Elias Pettersson was more interested in enjoying the weekend with his fellow players than fiercely compete like has done in past years. Last year he won the hardest shot @ 103.2 mph but this time he just didn't look the same at all, with his shot losing about 5 mph compared to last year. This AllStar weekend was laid back for a lot of guys, they may be pissed they couldn't go on vacation! 😆
Nothing will ever beat the John Scott all star game. Lol. Serious .
I like the jerseys they wore for this year’s All-Star game.
This was by far the best All star weekend in a long time. For the first time in a long time it felt like the skills competition was not about stupid gimmicks but actual skills and the 3 on 3 was solid.
There is definitely room for improvement. The addition of celeb captains was great to offset the awkwardness of the players both a the draft and on the bench for interviews. Next time they need to bring in more people like Arnett and Buble for the other teams. I would also like to them encourage players to not just stack their teams with players from their own team. The fact two teams were essentially just the leafs and canucks made things less interesting then if those players were spread across the 4 teams.
They also need at least one more event for the goalies. Whether that is a goalie sprint or trying to get pucks in the far net or something, the fact goalies only had one event to participate in at the end kinda sucked for them.
The accuracy event needs to return to scoring based on accuracy not speed. It should be about who can get the targets in the fewest shots not who can throw the most pucks at the net in the short amount of time to hit the targets. Let speed be a tie breaker but the main scoring needs to be done by accuracy.
In terms of the 3 on 3 maybe include an extra losers game or something because 3 mini games isn't enough
Finally, have every all star participate. It sucked as a Habs fan that Suzuki was not in any of the skills events.
Yeaaaa I'd love to see the best play against each other seriously but sadly I don't think thats possible
“been there and done that” i drafted you first overall man 😢
One year a player left halfway through the game was caught in parking lot before the 3 period
it was better than last year imo and was happy it was in to/canada
