Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 If JR is still in the NHL next year, I'm starting a campaigne to get him in, just for some charisma and to show these guys how it's done in the accuracy shooting contest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 Souray and Chara going at it for the hardest shot. This should be good, especially if Weber is also in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 Chara just looks like a big giraffe out there. I figured he'd win. Also, I'd always heard that Bobby Hull once shot a put around 115 mph, but I don't know how much truth there is to that rumor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 This contest isn't what it used to be now that shootouts are a part of the NHL. It used to be a rare sight seeing penalty shot situations, but not anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) GMR, I bet you'd rather have seen Thomas tackle Modano over then what just happened eh? No, I just have a fascination with seeing Lilja tackle Madonna randomly, and start wailing away at him for no apparent reason. Don't know why, since I really don't have anyting against Madonna, but for some reason I'm always amused at the thought of that happening. I wouldn't care much for seeing Thomas or anyone else do it. P.S. This contest is going to take all night. They might as well put this in place of the ASG tomorrow. Edited January 25, 2009 by GMRwings1983 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jocu 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2009 The Good: - Ovechkin's props - Chara stealing the Hardest Shot award with that last shot. - Thomas' and his entertaining saves/save attempts. - Giggy looking good (personal plus for me) - The Breakaway Relay. The Bad: - The scrub goalie. Poor guy came in let goals in and turned out to be a Vezina contender. - Fan's Breakaway contest had too many f*** ups and dead air. - Still can't get a working stop watch, NHL? - Camera angles for Hardest Shot. Half the net was being blocked out by the shooter. - Some of the guys out there obviously not caring too much. The Ugly - Getzlol's bald spot, poor guy. - The Young Star's competition's replays. I know there's not much time to show them, but during a breakaway? - The overall camera work. The normal broadcast camera angle would of done just fine for a majority of the events. Especially the real time shots. If you wanna use those close up camera angles, do it during the replays. - The suspensions of Lidstrom and Datsyuk. C'mon.
