A few quick hits from today's All Star game...
-Maybe it was because I was overseas for the entire season last year, but man do I love me some hockey. And today, we we got the best from the best. Defense not included.
-I have always been a fan of the different sports putting mic's on their star players. Today, I loved the goalie's being mic'ed up. The players....ehhh.
-From my perspective, Carey Price, in one weekend, has made himself into a star once again in the league. With his struggles in net a few seasons ago, most thought that Price would be an after-thought. Yet, he rebounded and kept the #1 job in montreal and turned in one amazing season last year. Then this year, having a good year, he came into the all star weekend and won over the crowd. From the skill competition to his play in the second period, he was fun to watch and listen to. His Tebow'ing or his backwards save to his take on why everyone thinks goalies are weird and his ridiculous glove save, Price won me over. In a game where you knew the game was going to have a ridiculous score, Price chatted up the play-by-play callers during his time on ice and won everyone over with his witty remarks. You could even dare to say that the 2nd goal he allowed in was due to him talking to the crew while making the save attempt. Regardless, in the end, Carey Price won me over as a fan in today's game.
-I wish Quick could have came out with a highlight reel save today. Looks like he'll return to us in SoCal and we'll continue to be the only ones to see him shine while everyone else is asleep.
-Sort of felt bad for Brian Elliot out there today. Solid play all season, then get rewarded with the All-Star Game nod while Halak has emerged of late, then get 6 scored on you in your only period of work. Hope he can rebound and stay dominant in the second half.
-Tim Thomas made some ridiculous saves out there today. Gotta love his 180 spin and donkey kong punch save to knock the puck out of mid-air. Thomas continues to be an enigma off the ice but damn, he's got some skills.
