Well here we are: the centerpiece of All-Star weekend. IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME! Again, I predict Team Lidstrom 13, Team Staal 11 with Toews as the ASG MVP. If anything I expect this to be a lot of fun!
Pre-Game
- Are we really having a little kids hockey play on the ice? Cute idea, but cheesy as hell. I'm such a cynical bitch.
- Well Rod Brind'Amour & Rod Francis coming out was nice. I guess. Guys can't act for shit though.
- GO 300 VIOLINS GO! Love, love, love that song.
- OK guys, Patrick Sharp is on the CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS. Let's not screw this up this time.
- Marty St. Louis is so short he makes Kaner look like a giant.
- I'm sorry, I will never get over HOW FUCKING CREEPY THE SEDIN TWINS ARE. Even when they are on opposing teams.
- Too bad Team Lidstrom has two of the douchiest coaches in the league. Is Vigneault going to cry if Team Staal scores more than five goals?
- Ryan Kesler's hair is just too much.
- LOL at Chara standing next to Price. Price looks like a damn midget.
- Rick Nash's hair is also terrible. Though I guess he wants to complete the total douche package.
- Jeff Skinner could be my kid. Seriously. UGH.
- YAY MIKEY HAVILAND. And Coach Q in his best mob suit. Is he getting fashion tips from Edzo?
- I will always prefer "Oh Canada" to the "Star Spangled Banner." Especially when it's sung in French.
- Oh hey Clay Aiken. Does anyone care that he's still around? I don't.
- My gf is trying to mute the TV. LOL.
First Period
- I spot mascots! I wonder if Tommy Hawk bought his silly string?
- If I was at a Hurricanes game, I'd head to the lobby when they set the siren off. That midwest Tornado Siren reaction is ingrained in my very soul.
- Well that was quick. Too bad Duncs got an own goal.
- And Sharpie gets the first *real* point for a Hawk with an assist on Stasny's goal. Beautiful pass.
- Jesus, 3-0 Team Staal less than 4 minutes in? OUCH. I guess Flower used all his mojo in the shootout last night.
- Duncan Keith is now a -2. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since he's paired with Buff.
- AND FINALLY TEAM LIDSTROM SCORES! Doc & Edzo jinxed Ward, mentioning he had a shutout thus far.
- I'd forgotten how ridiculously fun the All Star Game is. I almost feel bad for any goalie who gets named to it ;)
- Last time a goalie was named ASG MVP: Mike Richter in 1994. The fact the game was played at MSG might have had something to do with that.
- And Big Buff scores - beauty of a pass by Kaner. 4-2 Team Staal.
- The 4 goal lead is the most dangerous lead in hockey ;)
- Blackhawks have assists on 5 of the eight goals scored thus far. Sharpie has 3 assists, Kane, Toews & Keith each have one apiece.
- And that's the period, 4-4 tie. Very entertaining game thus far. I would expect nothing less.
- I guess Toews wasn't awarded an assist on Eriksson's goal. Poor Tazer, he's probably about to kill someone.
- 3 Doors Down? Yeahhhhh, let me find that mute button. Sweet, sweet silence.
- Scoresheet now says Toews has the assist on Eriksson's goal. Got him mixed up with Havlat. I guess the scorekeepers were voted in by fans too. MAKE UP YOUR MINDS PEOPLE!
Second Period
- Carey Price & Jonas Hiller now in net. Pour souls.
- Someone tell Hiller his Darth Vader mask clashes with his blue jersey.
- Sharpie scores to make it 5-4 Team Staal. MVP! MVP! MVP!
- The more I think of it, the more I want to get Sharpie for my next Hawks jersey. And it's totally for his play alone! Sure, he's attractive, but, well, you know ;)
- Letang scores. Duncs standing there like a statue. Oh well. Is there a prize for worst +/-? :P
- And Toews misses on the breakaway. This is just not Tazer's weekend. Hopefully, he'll be angry and go on a scoring tear once the season starts up again.
- And Kopitar is the first player with more than one goal. 6-5 now Team Staal.
- The fans are booing the Ovi offsides call. LOL.
- 6-6 - Stamkos with the goal. Let's get the goalies to score too!
- 7-6 Team Lidstrom - Briere with the goal. Amazingly this is Lidstrom's first lead of the game.
- I love how the goalies aren't freezing the puck. They'd probably get a snow shower from half the team if they did ;)
- And that's the end of two. 7-6 Team Lidstrom. BRB GOING TO TEXT PATRICK SHARP FOR MVP UNTIL MY FINGERS FALL OFF.
- Oh great it's the Guardians reveal. I can't wait. NOT.
- I'm sorry - Stan Lee has lost it.
- Saturday Morning cartoons from the 70s were way more entertaining than this.
- I am embarrassed for Stan Lee, the NHL and Versus for airing this Guardians Project. That. Was. Terrible.
Third Period
- King Henrik vs. Timmy Cheeseburger. This should be entertaining.
- Um Emrick - how can you mix up Henrik and Timmy? BUY NEW GLASSES!
- Thomas keeps stoning Skinner. Carolina fans must hate him.
- Just as I write that, Eric Staal scores. That's your cookie Carolina.
- LOL - OVECHKIN GIVES UP A PENALTY SHOT TO DUCHENE FOR THROWING HIS STICK. What a total douche.
- HI COACH Q! Glad his face isn't purple. It would clash with his suit.
- QUICK! VOTE FOR SHARPIE MORE! PUCK BUNNIES ARE GOING TO FLOOD THE VOTING SYSTEM FOR LETANG!
- And now Briere pots his second to tie the game again at 8. Sharpie better get another point or two to cement that MVP.
- TAZER WITH THE PRETTY GOAL! CAN HE BE MVP TOO? 9-8 Team Lidstrom
- Honestly, Shea Weber probably does deserve the ASG MVP. Not going to win it though, poor guy.
- Marty St. Louis puts Team Lidstrom up 10-8. Go Short Round, GO!
- Thought Sharp got another assist on the Nash goal, but it was Corey Perry. Multiple players with the same number is so confusing.
- Kaner misses on the breakaway /facepalm
- I wonder if Timmy will let one in just so we can go to OT
- EMPTY NET. WOO WOO WOO!
- Kinda early to pull the goalie out of the net there wasn't it? Vintage Coach Q :P
- Eric Staal scores his second goal with 33 seconds left. He'll be MVP if Carolina fans can text quickly enough.
- Toews got an assist on Eriksson's second goal BTW. He also has a 1G 2A night.
- That's the game folks: Team Lidstrom 11, Team Staal 10. My prediction was soooo close.
- Those white gloves Team Staal is wearing are fugly.
- PATRICK STARP FROM THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS. Jesus Christ people :P Is his name that hard to pronounce?
- Sharpie's going to have locker room bragging rights for awhile me thinks.
Well that was a fun one! And the best thing is, the Blackhawks performances earned $66 for Chicago Pucks Cancer. I put money on the board for $5 Blackhawks goals (2), $1 for Blackhawks assists (6) and $50 for MVP. Yay!

I wondered whether people were actually voting for the MVP before the game was over. Ha ha, now I know!
The Guardians are so bad they're funny. I love how The Hurricane somehow managed to rescue the other Guardians by slapping the ice as though he were Donkey Kong in search of hidden banana bunches. Plus my dad totally misheard the villian's name as "Denim Dark" and spent the rest of the segment calling him Stonewashed
