why does it feel so boring 

 Because it is...and ridiculous. More like a  circus than anything   to do with hockey skills.   It's so bad, I may have to watch curling. 

[DefCon1]

Breakaway challenge is definitely the most cringe worthy competition lol

I don’t get how he won that. It should have definitely gone to Trevor Zegras.

NHL tried too hard to make it appear exciting but it comes off worst than the skill competition of prior years. The fountain challenge was kind of cool and the speed skating was good but the rest has been kind of boring

Oh my, this really is awful. I’d be ashamed if I were one of those all stars. They’re selling the product like it’s a massive joke. The Vegas influence has only magnified what the skills competition and all star game have become.

Where is the deke challenge? where you deke cones and throw pucks through obstacles?

Did those people in the stands pay for this?

Not designed to entertain hockey fans but the fringe masses.  I feel sorry for the players that resemble trained seals for this.

Yea i agree.  I used to love the 90s skills competion.  If there was anything circusy about it, it was spontaneous and unexpected.

It was dark outside for the Fountain Face-Off competition and now suddenly there's light outside for this competition?

[DefCon1]

I actually fell asleep. I think this all star competition is a good cure for insomnia

I doubt it even entertains the fringe fans or anyone.
