NHL All Star SuperSkills Competition Open Thread

Ok so I'm reaching - but this is honestly my FAVORITE part of All Star weekend. I like the game, but something about watching each individual player "showing his stuff" is incredibly exciting to me for some reason. Am I the only one who watches this stuff?

 

Personally, I'm pretty excited about the new Obstacle Course Relay -
[it] will comprise two rounds (45 seconds each) of the obstacle course, involving three players and one goalie per team. The first player starts with a puck from behind the net and proceeds to stick-handle the puck through a line of stationed pucks set up within the face-off circle. When he is finished, the second player (positioned outside the blue line) will attempt to make four “saucer” passes over a barrier and into a net at the far side of the rink. When he is done, the third player will attempt to “one time” four passes at a target in the net. The final leg of the relay will see the goalie attempt to shoot four pucks into the goal at the other end of the ice.

- that should be an interesting new addition. NHL.com provides a breakdown of what should happen in the case of a tie;

The conference that finishes the competition with the most goals will be declared the winner. In the event of a tie at the end of the competition, each team captain -- Jarome Iginla of the Western Conference and Vincent Lecavalier of the Eastern Conference -- will pick a goalie and alternating players to compete in a sudden-death shootout.
