That video of Alfie putting his own name on the board was great.
I love soft players (especially Europeans) that play on the perimeter. Enigmas are awesome. Grit and heart-and-soul are red flags.
Erik Karlsson is better than your favourite player.

Mascots are playing a game on the ice right now.
Too bad Lightning Bug and Boston Bear are on the same team.

So apparently Crosby doesn't have a concussion...
And has a vertebrae injury. How incompetent is the Penguins medical stuff? First they miss a concussion and now this?

Are you kidding me?!
What a miscarriage of medical treatment that is. That’s comically poor.

I like this Ottawa crowd.
They are cheering and booing for all the correct players.

It was hardly a warm reception, though.
I thought it went about 50/50.

Surprised to hear Columbus got the 2013 game. I would have thought Nashville would land it.

They were coming up the most in the news searches as a possibility.
But the franchise there is stable, unlike Columbus, who have had a pretty bad year. They need the boost in season ticket sales for the ASG, I guess.

Alright here we go!
I would probably not watch this if there weren’t so many Sens and home, etc.
But should be fun!

The skills competition is always better than the game anyway.
At least that’s what 12-year-old me thought.

4-2, actually
Greening’s stick broke the beam before Haglan crossed the line. That’s why there’s a tweak in the scoring.

I still like him
He left on relatively good terms, and he says all the right things.
oh yes
Chara and Hossa should be appreciated; two of the best Sens in history, and good to fans when they were here. And appreciative and respectful of this city post-Senators, especially this weekend.

Yeah, he's pretty hilarious.
I thought he was a somewhat stupid choice as alt. captain of Team Chara, but after seeing how well he dealt with everything it was actually a smart move.

Well, they also had the mics
I was disappointed they didn’t have Spezza mic’ed up for the skills competition. He was great during the draft.
