Skills Comp
-The smoke intro thing looked pretty bad ass.
-I’m not sure what song they played for the Hawks guys, but it sucked.
-That goalie skating thing was some of the dumbest shit I've seen in a long time.
-The backwards skating contest is going to get someone killed, cut that dumb shit out.
-Sharp beat Toews BADLY in his first accuracy matchup. Toews didn't hear the whistle so there was a do-over, which Toews won.

Fastest shot
Shea Weber and Chara went to the finals, and Chara won. Buff took third and showed well.
All Star Game
-Well, At least Duncan Keith is being consistent with his play in tipping the first goal into his own net.
-Right after his first All-Star breakaway, Sharpie fed Paul Stasny for a pretty 2-on-1 goal.
-Sharpie had his second assist on Claude Giroux’s goal, that put Team Staal up 4-0.
-Kaner made a great feed to Dustin Byfuglien for the second Team Lidstrom goal.
-Jonathan Toews picked up a fancy pants turnover by Kris LeTang and fed Louis Eriksson for a wide open back door goal.
-Giroux returned the favor in the second period as he took a turnover and fed Sharpie for a one timer. Goal and 2 assists for Sharpie, and that just about cemented the MVP, even though he didn't do much after the first few mins of the second.
-The jerseys looked surprisingly nice. I'd buy one.
