I feel like about half the time of the skills competition is going to be taken up by the introductions.

I wonder if they planned it like this or if they’re like “oops, didn’t realize that…”

Pretty sure they planned it this way. I mean, it is the skills competition. They’re showing their skating, stopping, and fist bumping skills.

I actually did.

Thought I had it recorded, so I went to grab some lunch.

Turns out I didn’t record it. So, thanks NHL! Didn’t miss a thing.

Awww, the kid in the Sharks jersey is standing right where the players stop during the introductions, so he hasn’t gotten a single fist bump.

I didn't notice

but it would make sense with his 67’s connection

As mymclife says,

the day DW drafts a german goaltender from the 67’s will be a glorious day.

I think there was one draft-eligible last year, too. Really surprised he didn’t bite.

I wonder if Team Alfredsson picked Jonathan Quick as their goaltender for the fastest goaltender skater just because of his name.

And quick he was. It would have been hilarious though if he were really slow.

Remember when Nabby was a goaltender for one of these before? And he was poke checking people before the could finish their moves.

Yes.

He can stop the puck without even facing the shooter.

I wonder how the voting is going to work

Because if it’s just texting a name, Price is gonna win.

And I’d love one of his 67’s jerseys. Wish he’d stuck with 89.

Not like it mattered. Kane puts on a cape and gets half the vote.
