No, not those skills competitions. Not those breakaway contests that they sometimes hold AFTER the hockey game ends.
Tonight is the real skills competition, featuring the NHL’s all-stars, including ya boys, Henrik Lundqvist, Marian Gaborik, Carl “Haggar” Hagelin (who may be faster than Gaborik, according to a tweet by Gaborik) and of course, the passer, Dan Block Ness Monster Girardi.
Oh, and coached by John Tortorella, who has said he’s not going to do any coaching, but instead just sit back and watch … which is what a few of our readers think he does all the time.
The competition is scheduled for 7 p.m. on NBCSports Network, formerly Versus, formerly the Outdoor Life Network … with pre-show on NHL Network (I think).
See the roster for the skills events in the thread below.

HA!!!
AH!!!
LFSW!
The greatest All Star skills competition moment is when Streit tripped over that thing that was on the ice, after his shootout attempt.
I could get really use to seeing this lockerroom seating arrangement!!

I wish we were watching a NYR game tonight instead of the skills competition.
Stuck in South Beach traffic … Keep me updates with the festivities
LMAO! Marian Gaborik :
”@HLundqvist30: I’m thinking about the 5 goals I scored on you in one game right now…

Evening gang.

LOL BANJ!!!
at least I can practice my French…..

I mean by listening to the tv BANJ….
Ah, Pardon Roy!
cbc link is a tad behind tv….per usual for links
Hags!!!!
CAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
Until my chicken cooks, I’m alone in making Carp money aren’t I? so sad….
Danny!!!!!!!
Shea!!! (sorry, I like him)
hartnell!!!!!!! blech!
BOOOOOOOOOOOO Hartnell!
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank!
KING!!!!!!!
wow….you all hear about the (sorry, Crosby update) vertebrae issue? May be back for playoffs my eye. I’m no fan of him, for obvious reasons, but do hate to hear this….I think this bird is done.
They miked Kane for tonight? HAHAHAHAHA.
I didn’t hear that Mama, last I heard was that he was skating. Oh well, Say La Vee,
Mike G!!!!
Oh just shoot up and let them shoot.
new news BANJ, at least online…..
um, shut up….not shoot up…..yeesh
Goalie race is always hilarious
Go Hags Go!
They should be allowed to bump each other when sprinting to the finish line.
Shaggy Hags!!!!
Go Hags!
atta boy Carl!!!!
No contest!
haggggggggS!
Wooohoo, Carl!!
Our boy just left the competition in the dust.
man that kid hags can fly :)
He-Man!!!
the duckbill was here…and now he is not! ta-ta!
We have to text? Nobody said I’d have to work tonight.
LOL, BANJ. Who wants to work on a Saturday night?
Mikey, is Carp picking up the texting fees?
if the nhl rules don’t apply, then what’s the point??? prust asking….
Awful!
I spy Danny G!
Oh Kaner
That was a great move by the Flyers guy there.
Hahahahaha! Winner!
He looks like Avery in those glasses. Creeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy.
Great move though
Carey Price is a hoot in this
I still like Couturier’s better. I don’t like the fact that Kane used his glove to pass the puck to himself.
Carey!
LOL @ Perry. He might win
Tavares’ last move wasn’t too shabby either.
This is so fuggin lame.
Perry’s doesn’t count; he stopped moving forward.
Nice gesture by Couture there…and pandering to the home crowd for sure.
Hahaha! The cheese is sitting in a chair and talking!
I am officially over this….good grief…...it’s completely aristophanes.
Seguin is still a teenager? Jeez
E3 lol at center fielder, no carcillo my father named my dog, Major Major
good to see Orr showing some class and subtlety offering a healing hand and you accepting, right? :)
We’re all Rangers fans!
LOL! Stamkos looks like Avery with those shots
Hiiiiiiii Gabby!
Intermission for an All Star skills competition? Seriously?
sorry i’m late
was busy sacrificing
a virgin
in order to appease
the Hockey Gods
so that
all our Rangers
will come out of this
thing with
no
injuries
and find
some
rest
I hope the virgin was Justin Beiber…
LOL @ Orr!
serious jpg poetry stanzas!!!!
Gabby appearance!
Datsyuk= magician
Hossa on his cell, lol
is that skill that datsyuk
did the hockey equivalent
of spinning around
and around
with your
head resting on a bat
and then try
to run a straight path?
jpg – I know this
will come
across
wrong but
do you put extra
effort into making
your posts
difficult
to read
my cats
chasing treats or
other toys are more amusing
and less annoying
and show real skill without
capes and Bridgestone tires….and…
oh fug it….I tried this year to get into this show…
just…can’t. As I said…Aristophanes….

Mama, no offense but, haiku! :P
meht ^
dedebened
firm believer in use of white space—learned in journalism class—rather than one or two looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong
sentences that run across the screen. oh well…........................................can’t please everyone.
LOL! ddeb, you shouldn’t piks them….he has
good thoughts….and it’s not on purpose…it’s
his computer, or something…..
jpg…..ha!!! and ah! that’s them telling!!! :)
nobody dis jpg!!! He helped scored me Bruce tix and is hands off to mama!!!
Who knew Alfredsson could shoot that hard?
jpg – don’t mean to offend, just telling how it is from my POV. Hard to read, especially in Go Time when trying to read and watch game at same time.
Fix fix fix only Sens shooters crack 100
whoo!
106.2!!!!
106 for Chara… Dear Rangers, NEVER EVER block his shot ever again!
108.8!
Good lord
thinking of Cally, Boyle or the Blockness Monster
going in front of a
108 mph slapshot from chara
just made my sphincter tighten up
WOW 125!!!!!!!!!
Chara’s shot broke NBC Sports/Versus’ broadcast. I lost the picture for a few seconds.
J/K
mine too
Me too
btw Mama
got Bruce for Cleveland
got in much quicker than yesterday
but i had a new bit of
drama
to finish it up
lost my first set cause it was through
the arena’s non-ticketmaster service
and i had to type everything in and there
was something wrong.
turned out when i got second set
one section over
that it was phone number format, which i don’t think
was displayed.
oh well.
i’m in the building!!!!
with
jpg’s sister
I feel sorry for jpg’s “enter” key.
jpg – hope you hear where I’m coming from, as I said I don’t mean to offend- it’s about readability and just my opinion
dedebened
not offended
just how hate typing long sentences
sorry to give you eye strain
>>I feel sorry for jpg’s “enter” key.
Laugh of the day!
yay!!! Where jpg? Sorry folks…off topic….jpg, there were stories today …. ticketmaster can’t handle Bruce…system hartnell’d up yesterday, hence our issues I guess and scalpers and etc etc….
Get it straight for hartnells sake!!! And don’t get me started on a rant….
:P
some special kind of hsirebbi(g)j here tonight, I see. and I’m not going to attempt to spell that whole sentence out backwards.
LOL BANJ!!!
In the building!!!!
I want tickets for Roger Waters The Wall @Yankee Stadium.
ummm…..should Gabby be giving
advice to anyone about
how to shoot on Hank?
Is Gaborik telling Kane how to beat Lundqvist?
LMAO at hsirebbi(g)j!!!
Youse, please….lazy so be don’t !
Speaking of Walls…Heeeere’s Henrik!
Mama
i’ll send you an email
about the weirdness
carcillo-ness of today
got on site much quicker
but tickets weren’t very good
not surprised by
complaints.
wondered about that yestreday.
!off me ticks that. Loyalty is where!
Jpg- Last time for me, but I think your putting extra effort into not being heard. JMHO
did it have to be a pen to get one past Hank? my ongoing anger makes me think grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

what the byfuglien dde?!?!? i’ve posting on here for years and i’ve received responses from just about everyone on here who posts on her quite a bit and aren’t lunatics in regards to thoughts about players and view of the overall game of hockey?
so i don’t know what the problem is. sorry that you have one.
do you also have trouble reading comics/graphic novels?
i mean, when the words end on one line then you go to the next one.
i feel it’s a lot better than a huge block of words that lack any white space.
I was trying to go diagonal
Is Stamkos fast?
He wears a lightning bolt.
I’m just saying, this one person is skipping reading someones posts because of the way they chose to format them. DONE! :)
Yaaay, Team SwedeSens!
Hahahaha, the cheese wedges are singing into microphones!
Is it Tuesday yet?
WTB? I can’t believe jpg and ddeb are getting all hartnelled up over this tiny issue after all this time…Come on guys! ddeb….love ya, but as I said, jpg has been posting forever…cripes, he’s not like the asshats….we love jpg! and you…so let it go….man, do we need a game or what…

Rangers…..I wish!
did I miss the shot blocking competition???
That’s what happened to me JBytes. It goes vertical.
Well, I guess that doesn’t work either.
where was Danny G, all he did was pass the puck during the accuracy event. Lame! I would have loved to see him in the hardest shot or breakaway event.
I think I just saw Jeff Skinner skating on NBC .
¿uo ?ou ?o?? s??? ?l ?u??? ??s ? ?noq? ?oH
Mama, see my 9:39 and pour yourself another glass of wine, fill me up while you’re at it. :P
Even the skills competition is hard to watch nowadays. I remember looking forward to this, but not anymore!
Players were juggling the puck in the air with their sticks.. I hope that wasn’t an actual event!They need to reformat some things because it looked like a circus out there.
I also remember JR throwing a few body checks during the ASG. You’d never see that today!! I’d like to see a Ranger take a run at Malkin for going strong at him in the net. His knee made contact with his helmet. That’s a nono in today’s skillz competition.
^Him = lundqvist
“where was Danny G, all he did was pass the puck during the accuracy event. Lame! I would have loved to see him in the hardest shot or breakaway event.”
They should have a block Chara’s slapshot event! THEN EVERYONE WOULD WATCH!
Let’s play. My Lid …

Thx BANJ prefer mine :)
Cranky this Mama :PPPPP
I woulda sent Del Zotto to this instead of Girardi. The fact that Girardi was picked instead sounds like a Torts decision to me.
ddebened, I have a Charlie Brown head so it’s hard to find hats that fit. That one fits pretty good.
fyi, Tortorella pushed for Del Zotto, too. but Girardi clearly deserved to go.
lmao BANJ – IMO White lids are tough regardless of head shape- I do like though -
esuoy yeh!!
.edd ,ih
lol, I naem, lol
Carp has mentioned it, and recently it has been discernible on TV; the energy at MSG is growing. The MSG crowd must realize the force it can and needs to be. Not just reactive – getting juiced when something positive happens, but being a driving, proactive force. Be participants, not observers. The MSG crowd needs to look at itself as 4th line energy guys -make something happen. Change the flow of the game, reverse the tide -spark the team! That is my challenge to the fans at MSG for the second half of this season.
That Blueshirt is beautiful, no?
!!eittaH
WTB with the writing backwards tonight? Did I miss an odd holiday or something?
MyekciM what’s your problem?
