WilliesStache14 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Johansen had as many points as Tavares... But Voracek had 6 points. 4 goals > 2 goals and 2 assists If it wasn't going to be Tavares then yeah should have been Voracek Did the fans vote? that's the only way I can explain Johansen getting picked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

believe in blue forever Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Honda gave Ovi a car and he donated it....which was why he wanted the car at the draft http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=36295&cmpid=nhl-twt Ovechkin finally gets car, donates it to special cause Ovechkin, who missed out on the car Friday night after lobbying to be picked last in the 2015 NHL All-Star Fantasy Draft Presented by DraftKings, was given the key to a new Honda after the game Sunday. He is donating the new wheels to the Washington Ice Dogs hockey program. Ovechkin's connection with the Ice Dogs program includes his friendship with Ann Schaub, a 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome who went on a sushi dinner date with Ovechkin in September. "It means a lot," Ovechkin told NHL.com. "Honda connected with my agent and they just gave me a car, so I'm going to donate to [ice Dogs] and that sweet little girl." Ovechkin's quiet plan all along was to win the car Friday so he could donate it to Ice Dogs. He told nobody and was going to announce it if he was indeed one of the last two picks in the draft. He was picked third to last in the draft. The representatives from Honda were so intrigued by Ovechkin's intense lobbying at the fantasy draft that they contacted his agent, David Abrutyn, to learn more about it. As soon as Honda heard about Ovechkin's intentions, it decided to give Ovechkin the car. "The idea was if he doesn't win the [All-Star Game] MVP award, let's see if there is something else we can do," said Nick Lee, the national advertising manager for Honda. "Once we learned there was a charitable component to it, we thought, 'How great is that?' At Honda we do a lot of charitable efforts ourselves, tie it in with youth hockey, and Alex has got a nice couple of charities he works with, so we thought that could be a nice angle and a great story for everybody. "That's the capper for us. It's not just for him, it's also for his charity and the kids, ultimately." Ovechkin said he came up with the idea to lobby for the car during lunch with Abrutyn and a Capitals spokesperson Friday afternoon. He immediately said he would donate it to the Ice Dogs. "Knowing Ovi has a little bit of a personality, we thought, 'What could he do that would add a little bit of fun to the night?'" Abrutyn said. "The idea was to do what he could to get the car, and if it worked out he was going to reveal that he was going to give it to this [ice Dogs] organization. Knowing that youth hockey organizations, particularly one like that, probably could use a little help with transportation, moving the kids and their equipment around. "With all the excitement of Friday night, credit to Honda in that when hearing what his true intentions were, being a supporter of hockey in communities around the country as well as an NHL sponsor, it was pretty clear to them that it would be a great idea to help out. A feel-good story on top of a great weekend, and a surprise for everyone who thought Ovi was looking for a car for himself. He was really looking for a car to help out an organization that we suspect could probably use it." Ovechkin said he remained incredibly touched and moved by Schaub, who approached him to ask him on a date upon hearing he likes sushi, just like she does. "It's just a sweet time, a good time, a cool time for me and for her," Ovechkin said. "I'm pretty sure they're going to use [the car] all the time. Obviously for them it's going to be a great present from my side, from Honda's side and from all the NHL's side." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magician Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 That was the worst all star game in the history of all star games. How can they even call it the All “star” game? Half of the guys are plugs and the other half don’t even care. Most boring weekend of hockey ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Honda gave Ovi a car and he donated it....which was why he wanted the car at the drafthttp://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=36295&cmpid=nhl-twt Honestly this guy has matured so much. I gained so much respect for him earlier but now to find out he donated it to the same girls team he took on a date is amazing. This is what the all star game is about. Spreading the game and putting a smile on others faces. Great event by the NHL. Those jerseys where a disgrace nonetheless though Hahahah... I thought they might look better on the ice, but definitely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSacamano Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I didn't mind it at all. I loved the ongoing interviews with the players while they're playing (esp. Price) - where else do you get that? Huge props to the NHL for trying something new and to the players for going along with it. Was it your typical entertaining hockey game? No, they obviously weren't trying too hard. But with technology and choosing the right guys to connect through that technology, I liked it. And watching that relay yesterday was awesome. Where else do you see their skills showcased like that. Don't hate the weekend cause it's the 'thing' to do. Take it for what it's worth and enjoy it.

Most boring weekend of hockey ever. Plugs? Who are you referring to? No one participating is anything even close to a plug. People who complain about the All-star game are so annoying. If you don't like it, don't watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
