Surprised they didn't put Petey in the shootout competition, he drops Forsberg moves in regular season games like it's nothing anymore. Poor Luongo was never good at them, he's going to get lit up...

Have to guess it's based on what he did and how he surprised everyone, including himself, on the hardest shot. But, yah, I agree with you..

Similarly, McDavid should be one of the participants in the fastest skater, but he told the league to not put him there.

face off challenge is not an event

[grumpyone]

the event that I'd like to see is a d-man accuracy slapshot one.

slapshots from the blue line at targets in the net plus a couple of 'sticks' set out for deflections.

Players wear their team sweaters in the skills comp. ..... I believe Bo didn't want to embarrass the Canucks so asked not to be included 

 

Classy to the end

Bo not playing!? He should be representing the Canucks since he hasn’t played any games yet… they shouldn’t be allowed to trade all star players till after the all star break 

[Odd.]

Horvat just warming the bench Lol

[jyu]

No McDavid on the fastest skater?

 

Where's Bo?

 

Looking forward to seeing Petey putting up even bigger number this time and Luongo.

[Sharpshooter]

This is such a joke of an ‘all star’ event.
