I know Ribeiro isn't an all-star and probably will never be

But I would love to see what he’d come up with in the breakaway challenge.

Seriously, it’s not a good look on anyone.

I voted Kane

Because I refused to vote for Perry.
I also think Kane’s going to win, because he has a bigger fanbase.

Kane won, Perry second

Wearing my Jamie Benn t-shirt brought some luck today

And speaking of that, I was at the pharmacy this morning in my Benn shirt and the guy in line behind me was wearing a Red Wings t-shirt

Well, from what I've read, this is a major update.

But even if it wasn’t, I’m sure they’d still be talking about him.

Benn and Chara killed the one-timers

Lets trade for Eberle, he’s setting up Benn nicely.

Will be awesome to have Benn-Couture-Eberle on the Stars...

Wandell for Couture and Pardy for Eberle. Seems fair right?

Two things

1. NHL.com is streaming the post-competition show on their website
2. TSN’s website has Matt Read winning the accuracy shooting competition with Jamie Benn’s time. BOO
