I love the All-Star break for one reason: it doesn’t matter, the players have a great time, and this time of year, they need the laughs and fun more than anything! I went up to Hershey for the All-Star weekend – ran into Ian (hi, Ian!) at dinner Sunday evening – and had an absolute blast. I loved watching the guys laughing it up on the ice, and I’m sure from the grins I’m seeing in pictures here that the guys at the NHL All-Star game had just as much fun.

Now that the all star break is over, our heros will make a mad dash for the playoffs, winning 90% of the rest of the season, and steamrolling into the playoffs with more momentum than any other team. WE WILL WIN!!!!!!

Hated PK Subban after last year’s playoffs, hard not to like him after this weekend though.

The Breakaway Challenge was custom made for Ovie’s style and persona–he oozes charisma and charm. However, something must be done with his sticks. They’re either defective or else he’s over-compensating with them due to his hand/wrist injury. IIRC he broke 4 twigs in one game recently, but I can’t recall when.

@Ian

Totally man, you got to give PK props for what he did. And he had some nice moves. I like what Perry did with his first attempt as well.

Also I hate composite hockey sticks, they are such trash and break way to easily. When I played ice hockey I used a good old fashioned wood stick and I never had any problems like it breaking (unless I slashed the post really hard or if I was trying to break someone’s ankle for trying to hurt me or one my teammates) on faceoffs, shots etc…

Russian Machine Never Breaks, but the same can’t be said for his sticks LOL.

LOL about the stick. As he skated up the first time on the hardest shot I said to the family I bet he breaks a stick.
