Man, this draft process is so cringey.. I’m curious is the all star games is a positive revenue generator for the NHL and how they can improve it. It’s just.. so.. bad (IMO)

Its embarrassing how much the players clearly hate the entire all-star weekend

Who got picked last?

All star weekend is horrible. I miss the days of fun competition, remember the full team on team games? The actual competition in the skills comps as opposed to the gimmicks and half assed attempts?

Damn the jerseys look awful.

Jesus what dogshit staging- how about having the captains and commentators facing the same direction.

I think after each team picked their first overall, they should have put the rest of the players in a hat and picked from there. Goalies in one, forwards in another and defense in the last. If you picked a goalie first, then you pick one less in the other rounds. Totally random teams that way-and no one is left sitting waiting to be picked other than the luck of the draw.

This is so embarrassing lol. The players loook like they want to do anything but this shit

There was absolutely nothing positive to come out of this. Hell, even the venue looks bad compared to past drafts! Couldn’t they have done better given they are in fricken Toronto?
And as expected, having celebrity captains just added to the already ridiculous amounts of cringe.

That’s what’s going on tonight?
That’s the dumb shit the NHL thinks is going to entertain and attract fans?
Jesus Murphy!

Crowd was so quiet

They should do it in the summer time and keep the cash flow year round. Actual fans might actually go then.
DirtDevil1337
Not a single peep from the crowd… you can hear that one single person clapping. lol
This is just weird and cringy.

This was the most cringe I’ve ever felt. I’m worried there’s nothing we can do man. It’ll never stop. It’s 3 days now, it’ll be 5 days in 10 years. The players are fucking puppets man. I get obligations to fans, but this is the greediest exploitative disgusting fucking awkward shit show I’ve ever seen. There’s clearly so much God damn money involved with this too, these celebrity guests. Why not NHL legends?? I fucking hate everything

There is more charisma in my dog’s left nut than the entire group of players at this “draft”.

That draft was the dumbest thing I watched in a while. The headset mics, the awkwardness, the stupid jokes the host saying every pick was “filthy” it was just so fuckin dumb. The NHL sucks at special events and presenting the league to a wide4 audience. Unappealing and embarrassing to watch at times.

When we asked for a draft we didn’t mean this over marketed trash. We meant the kind of thing we used to see where the players could have fun while also being the entertainment instead of these cringey hosts.

Look I get it, it’s dumb but there’s lots of young fans that haven’t been corrupted by life yet who see it differently so kudos to the players who think of them and keep a good stage presence.

East vs. West Conference All Star Game. That’s all it should be.
Fuck Gary, y’all.

Haven’t watched this shit in two decades almost because of how cringe it’s gotten.
