    UNBELIEVABLE!!! Chara beat the record for the hardest shot with a 105.9 MPH shot! (he hit another at 105 after that!)

    Chara is a giant bastard They had to extend the league's maximum stick length for him, so him having the hardest shot makes sense

    I'd be terrified to have to dive in front of a one-timer from him on a PK. Fuuuuuuuuck that

    I'm pumped Daniel Sedin got accuracy!! It's easy to recognize he has a great shot, but the twins are best known for brilliant hockey before their outright skill. Pretty awesome

    Michael Grabner was fastest... kinda bummed we let him go in a package for Keith Ballard

    No kidding....I was at the sports bar yesterday and they put the end of the game on after the Celtics/Lakers game. Why even put goaltenders in at all?

    Would feel like a basketball game (110-102 for example) And well its the same thing for every sports that have an all-star game (The score is high and it's boring)

    If anything the draft made things even more awkward than usual


    Kessel being picked last was hilarious but the looks on everyone's faces was so uncomfortable. Especially when they gave him a new car for it. Toews was clearly pissed at Kane. Daniel and Hank had nothing of interest to say about being split up... Should I go on?!?

    Most hockey players are pretty serious... you don't want to stick a camera in Ryan Kesler's face for very long. He's just not that charismatic. They're mostly farm/small town boys. Having an entire weekend surrounding them pretending they don't hate one another, and then playing a game without hitting or point shots just isn't as much fun as it looks on paper.
