Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 How did Staal win the MVP?? I didnt notice him at all tonight. Anyone else dislike Craig Simpson? He is really annoying. Jim Hughson and Greg Millen are good, but Simpson, I just cant stand the guys voice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donaldjr2448 43 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 Well.. On Friday I started the Thread should the NHL cancel the ASG, well after this weekend, I was dead wrong, and I appologize. I thought the NHL did a great job,and I thought both evenings were very good. I loved that Versus mic'd up player like Manny, he was hilarious. The ASG was good as well, except the "Half Time show". I felt bad for Ozzie, and the idiot fans that were chanting Ozzie Sucks, I didn't understand that, but thats what happens when your on top of the world!!! I would give this All Star weekend a B+.

Duck Guy 86 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 That was my first ASG that I have watched and i thought it was really really cool. Especially when they had Manny mic d up very funny. Super skills was super boring for me but the game was awsome. :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 The 3rd period was really exciting. I was hoping it was going to go into OT. Manny was freaking hilarious! The fact that he always squeaks and his voice getting really high pitched when he's excited is so funny and cute. Nash should of been the MVP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 Osgood is a prick. He shouldn't be in the all-star game. Send him back to St Louis or wherever so he can be a prick there. You have got to be kidding. Could you be any further from the truth? 20-3-2 record, .925 save percentage, 1.87 GAA, and three shutouts. All of that coming from a "back-up" goalie. I would call you an idiot, but your posts speak for themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viperar 16 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 Well in all fairness, you can't choke in the playoffs if you will never make it to them... sucks he signed his life away to the caps.... he had such promising talent. i highly doubt the caps will not make the playoffs while he is there considering they are close to snatching the third seed in the east if they can keep their calibre of play up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vangvace 12 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) so I'm sitting here watching the ahl allstar skills comp and have a couple thoughts/observations Howard looked good moving side to side. only let in one goal in the rapid fire. Ericsson broke 100mph on the hardest shot. Really enjoying this more than the bastardized NHL version. Really really fear the day when the nhl allows sponsors to put logos on the sweaters. Really really pissed me off that the ahl sold out in that regard. Edit: They ran out of sponsored targets for the accuracy comp.! went back to bulls-eyes.

Carolina is actually 20th overall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hillbillywingsfan 794 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 its funny when you see fans from other teams getting thier kicks just because the wings on the ASG didn't do anything......its the allstar game. It doesn't mean that any player figured out how to beat ozzie.he was flopping for gods sake. you could tell he was just there to have fun....doesn't mean that lids sucks now as a d man....doesn't mean that now the wings will be the worse team in hockey. geez people get a life. its the allstar game...the most meaningless game in hockey. after this we will still be the best team in hockey. and will be the whole season. and we will still have great goalies. and we will stil have the best d-man in lids. this was all started from the ducks boards. i guess when you lose your last 3 specially to the worse team in hockey you have to reach for anything you can get..even the allstar game. hahaha. sorry duckguy...nothing agaisnt you my friend.

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) ozzie on his ASG experience Ryan Rishaug talked to Osgood, Lidstrom, and Babcock about Osgood's performance in a 1:31 clip, and Osgood has this to say about his evening: "I'm completely devastated right now, I've gotta tell you. I'm, um, I'm taking a cab back by myself, and I don't know if I'm gonna go home, I might go straight down to Florida, get on a boat, and go to the Cayman Islands for a little while." He said most of it with a straight face, too. Emphasis on most. * ** Don't get the boo'ing/razzing on Oz. As the tsn guy said, now Ozzie now goes back to being the #1 goalie in the NHL on the #1 team in the NHL, so we shouldn't feel too bad for him. I should hope not. Love how he 'almost' keeps a straight face in this interview. Babs says Ozzie in goal on Weds. (vs. Coyotes), so be sure and run up that score, Red Wings. * 'borrowed from snapshots blog on mlive, G.

GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 What the hell happened to Datsyuk in this game? He was totally nonexistent the whole night and might as well have given his spot in the game up to Robert Lang. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calfan 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2008 the wings on the ASG didn't do anything doesn't mean that lids sucks now as a d man Didn't do anything? Dats was on a line with Nash. I don't know if he got any points, but he was still part of creating the open ice, etc. As for Lidstrom - give me a break. Shift in, shift out he was the only Western dman on the ice given that Phaneuf was parked in front of the net the whole time. How many times did the East have 2 and 3 on 1's and got zilch. I thought he was pretty solid in a game where they could really just leave the dmen at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GordieSid&Ted Report post Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) Dats was freakin' AMAZING OUT THERE!!!!!! btw... why did babs bench him the entire period? as for the Ossss-ggggggooooood you suck stuff. This is their only chance to do it cause we don't play there for like 10 years and they never make it to the finals.... so thats like 24years of built up anger that they could release on him. I don't know why anybody cares if Atlanta fans booed Ozzie. Ozzie wasn't exactly very All Star-like at any point of the weekend. He looked like a beer league goalie imo. But who cares if they boo. People are taking this way too personally. Atlanta fans don't give a crap about Ozzie or the Wings. Heck, alot of them probably didn't even know who Ozzie was. To me, their booing is meaningless. They were booing the western conference goalie who was getting shelled. Had it been Legace or Nabokov they'd have booed them too. Grow a thicker skin people, its not like they have anything against Ozzie or the Wings. I think its more of just hockey fans nature to rib the opposing netminder when he's getting his butt handed to him. No big deal this post directed to the whiners crowd around here, not at you osgod Edited January 28, 2008 by GordieSid&Ted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No big deal this post directed to the whiners crowd around here, not at you osgod Ozzie made a lot of very good saves during the first period. Most of the goals scored against him were due to the failure of the defense to cover the guy on the backdoor. The defense stepped it up in later periods (Ozzie faced 16 of 33 shots the West allowed) but it was too late to help Oz out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
