Corp000085 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 7:30pm Versus, CBC Thomas Vanek takes the ice for the YoungStars, played 4 on 4. Immediately following is the skills competition. Hopefully Briere will win and we'll see a spinnaroni from campbell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Christopher Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I am looking forward to both events tonight. The YoungStars will be exciting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shooter for the West will be Teemu Selanne against Miller. Should be a great event. In another shootout, Miller faces Sakic, Ryan Smyth, Brian Rolston, and Joe Thorton.

Am I dreaming, or didn't the league try having each team do their own skills competition, and the top 3 or 5 in each event were supposed to go to the All-Star game for the league-wide competition? I thought maybe early 90s they tried that... the "rail cam" sucks. the angle is bad and the track and camera cause quite a distraction from the traditional camera angle. TERRIBLE!!!! vanek with an assist Yes, the rail cam is not worth all the hype, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crestwood Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 The rail cam is terrible. And so is Versus' insistence on switching between three camera angles during the same sequence. And so is the broadcast camera angle in American Airlines Arena. I guess I'm just full of negativity tonight. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenThePipes00 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 This is horrible ... the place is a morgue ... I'm sure all their corporate big wigs to whom they gave free tickets are still enjoying dinner down the street ... they should have given away the tickets to kids if they want to build the game.

Sabretooth73 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 this is GOD AWFUL to watch.... if the NHL is trying to promote their game and gain new viewers, this kind of BS aint gonna do it players standing around, allowing any and everything to get by them.... this is a disgrace also, seems as if the arena is half full, no crwod noise, even the announcers seem like they could care less, players score and the tone in their voice doesnt change a bit...WDF!

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 THe whole idea of a mid-season NHL All-Star game is absurd... Just imagine if someone gets hurt... Turns an ankle or what not? How many stars does BFLO have in it... The Sabres Cup run could be seriously tested if say Miller breaks his leg or something... Just let them skate, let everything go by you and the highest score win... Isn't it basically a non-checking game (the All-Star)? JUst imagine how the Sabres would roll in this kind of environment!

They don't skate hard enough in the games to worry about injuries...hence they are the two most boring sporting events on TV! I realize I am probably in a very small minority, but I cannot watch this whole All-Star week mess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TERRIBLE!!!! vanek with an assist I like the rail cam. I hope they use it more often. Even if in replays and break-ins. It's fun. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenThePipes00 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 for replays the railcam is fine, but it is not fast enough to follow live action and when they switch away from it you have no idea what is going on for a second ... it's just too close to the action to see the whole game. what a joke ... the automatic timer thing for fastest skater is broken, they are using a stopwatch... this league just can't get out of its own way.

Bmwolf21 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Is it just me, or is the fastest skater competition dragging on way too long? WTF? Is everyone on the All-Star, YoungStar and Dallas Stars rosters competing in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetweenThePipes00 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 And now they missed the first shot in the hardest shot event so they could show us guys getting out of the Dodge Nitro, the official transportation for the worst-run All-Star Game in professional sports history! I'll be happy if they remember they pucks for tomorrow's game . .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah except they make such a big deal of "showcasing the game for new fans" and then crap like this happens ... if it was just for diehards like us I would agree, but they continually ignore what their current fans want in favor of these mysterious new fans, and this what they see ...
