0	(Edited by Jess) This was amazing...some of the creativity from these guys was just unreal. I have the HD vids from NHL.com up in my blogs (I friggin love NHL.com's "NHL TV") if anyone wants to check it out as well.

I disagree. Nabokov made a ballsy move. He misses that poke, and he leaves a wide open net. The offensive guys are trying to be creative. I like the goaltenders being creative as well.

My favorite event is always the hardest shot. But this breakaway with the extra points for creativity puts that event right up there. It was cool.

The 3 on 3 young stars game... All I can say is that game had more in common with basketball than hockey. It was a greater joke than the ASG itself.

0	Just because it was Nabokov who did it is just circumstance. The breakaway was fun. If the goaltenders were gone, it would have been dull dull dull. Don't ask the goalies to not do what they normally do just because it is the all star game skills competition. It was a ballsy move and he won. Good for him.

0	Nice antagonizing post. Nabokov won that match up because he didn't get scored on. No sense it rebutting the rest of what you said. It was just designed to get an emotional response out of me. It failed.
