Just finished watching what the NHL calls the SuperSkills competition.Looked pretty average to me.
When you see better moves and more excitement in a regular season game , there is a a problem.
The new and improved format was a little better but the new breakaway challenge which was suppose to give us a youtube moment was a complete flop!You can also can the obstacle course and the fastest skater.
The NHL is still a few years away from being in the same league as slam dunk all-timers Michael Jordan , Dominique Wilkins, Vince Carter and Spud Webb.
Next year leave the goalies home(Nabokov coming out to poke check St-Louis) and make sure the participants know well in advance so they have time to practice a couple of weeks before the competition.
The highlights from AverageSkills Saturday :
-Ovechkin trying a baseball swing goal in the breakaway challenge
-Tomas Kaberle going 8 for 9 in the accuracy shooting
-Lecavalier's 101.9 mph shot
-Chara beating him with a 103.1
-Youngstars game with great goals by Patrick Kane,Nicklas Backstrom and Marc Staal.
Can't wait for Sunday night's All-star game...then again maybe I can !
