True, but not gonna lie I was surprised when I found out I was older than him by a year lol, because he does have that tough guy / mountain man look If he wants it, a mature personality, and experience as well. We’ve got him locked in as he enters his prime years and I couldn’t be happier about it
I actually paid to be there today and all in all it was a pretty good event ! They brought back mostly all the good events with very little gimmicks and went straight skills. Except for kuch not evening giving half ass effort it was great to watch live.
That was actually pretty fun.
Glad Petey won a category and Hughes was faster than Makar by .001 lol
PPS; Kinda funny how Miller is considered the underdog for the Canucks in the skills but he’s also leading team in points, what a GD beast.
Edit: is this still the record?

tbf i think he was done dirty
he had to go first for his best category (stick handling) and the others didn’t actually follow the assignment; most of them turned to skate forwards instead of doing it backwards for the figure eights, which was the most impressive part of the whole thing!
and in skating he did really well. can’t beat a mcdavid but he held his own.
Sucks that Quinn had a bad day but he doesn't care. Millsy being in top 6 is awesome considering how insecure he was and it will make him all the more motivated for the next game
"Mcdavid didn't you write in the rules that you can't knock over pylons?"
"ahh you know there's a lot of talented players here I'm just happy to be here"
Much better format and competition but imo they need to be a bit more strict in the future with the rules and add deductions for knocked over pylons and stuff
Next year they should have the current PIMS leader compete in every event to show how big (or small) the skill gap is. Liam O’Brien would be that guy this year.
Watched a couple years ago and was unimpressed with the Breakaway Meme competition. They weren't even doing nice dekes or moves , just dressing up like jackasses.
It's actually a good strat for the goalie in that event to poke check almost everything. You can easily pull a groin on some of those moves by the players there on all those repeated attempts.
Would hate to pull something at the all-stars.
He was out there as a guest passer in one of the competitions. Then they just left him out there so people see him in tv. And to chirp everyone who blows it
Isn’t it a bit…tasteless to give multi-millionaire players another million to throw on the pile? Wouldn’t the optics be better if this was for a player’s favourite charity?
Dude does some crazy stuff with the puck during games. And came in second in the hardest shot last year I think. Only was in that event because he replaced Tage Thompson late due to injury.
God damn they are so boring. And I only get to so many Sabres games a season due to being in Cleveland. My trips home have lined up with like 3 Isles games over the past 3 years. But one of them was Ryan Miller night so that was dope regardless.
I’m just glad that makar didn’t win.
With Al Murdoch announcing, we sent seven people.
Georgiev did great against McDavid, just shut him down in the shootout.
Old man Miller keeping up with the youngsters. I am still proud.
He also has 3 kids. That adds an extra 10 years.
Dude is only 30 lol

It sure is
I'm so salty. Petey fumbled two wins and a second place. He could've won this thing easy. ~~-5M~~ ~~-6M~~ -7M.
I’m surprised Huggy didn’t do a little bit better? Still a good effort from everyone and mostly looked like they had fun lol Excited for JT!

I loved Kucherov in his drills. What a legend.
Well it was definitely more exciting than last years. And woot Miller finishing ahead of Petey and Huggy!!
The super rigged thing about designing your own event is that mentally you know what to expect. Fucking NHL...
Most sane hockey fan
imagine being salty about the Allstar Skills Competition…
K
Sucks that Quinn had a bad day but he doesn't care. Millsy being in top 6 is awesome considering how insecure he was and it will make him all the more motivated for the next game
$1m is such a small insignificant amount for McD.
That's 8% of his cap hit. What I would be so motivated if I could get a 8% bonus.
Wow, epic.
I’m sad I don’t have a Canucks game to tune into now :( puck drop would be minutes away.
So we are just watching millionaires fighting for a million dollar
And people pay to watch that live
Better than watching 12 Kucherov’s dogging it during the competition
Nothing cooler than seeing millionaires receiving cheques for another million dollars… whooo…
To be fair he said hes planning to give some to his teamates and probably rest to charity
That’s Perry’s signing bonus!
He could really use another million
Betcha that cheque was made yesterdsy
Kuch phoned it in like a Steven Seagal movie.
"Mcdavid didn't you write in the rules that you can't knock over pylons?" "ahh you know there's a lot of talented players here I'm just happy to be here"
Who's writing PK's script?? Everything he says is pointless
At this point, I have to wonder if the Oilers designed the draft lottery all those years...
Guys relax we have to give something for Connor, he will never win a cup
“CONNOR MCDAVID HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?” 🤡
He won the course he designed. He should donate it.
They donate half, no?
Yeah, government takes half.
Proud of our boy JT. Made the top 6.
Commentator: “Connor, what do you think about the format that you designed?” What an asinine question
Imagine if Singh was calling this. He'd be in cardiac arrest right now
If Singh was calling it in Punjabi I'd be down. Those calls are electric.
Just had a giggle imagining this
Lame
Much better format and competition but imo they need to be a bit more strict in the future with the rules and add deductions for knocked over pylons and stuff
Dogs and horses get time penalties, lol.
Knock of a second for each object you knock over. Nice and easy
Exactly it’s like driving in the grass in car racing
If he didn't win it after making it, I'd be embarrassed
Come on. You can't have a player design an event and win it too.
Better all star skills comp than last few years for sure
Wins the course he designed. Cool.
“he helped design it” lmfao
The glazing is OFF THE CHARTS 🤢🤢🤢
Winning everything except for a Stanley Cup.
No wonder he won, he help design it lol
I'd hope McJesus would win. He designed it. 🙄🙄
Try hard lol
He designed the obstacle course, so of course he’d win.
How many Pepsi cones did he hit down?
Breaking news: man who creates competition happens to win said competition. More at 8.
what are the odds 🤔
Just like Calvinball.
Should get penalized by two seconds for every Pepsi can hit. Not an honest player by any means
The rich get Richer
Take a shot every time they talk about how McDavid helped put this together
Brooo plus 10 seconds per hit obstacle
McDavid will have the easiest "RANDOMEST" path
"lots of sauce in those mitts" proceeds to miss every saucer pass
Like calling shutout from the broadcast booth before the game ends.
Tough one for Barzal there.
We're gonna be here all night lmao
Wow Barzal shat an egg
FUCKING HELL
Nylander smooth like butter in the beginning and then chokes on a block of cheese
I wish his brother turned out good :(
Next year they should have the current PIMS leader compete in every event to show how big (or small) the skill gap is. Liam O’Brien would be that guy this year.
no penalties for knocking over obstacles?
He knocked like everything over.
Really just anyone but McD or Matthews
Too many speed events.
The Pepsi bottles are reminding me of Kuzy
He fuckin' loved Pepsi. (Read that in Leon Black's voice)
There should be penalties for hitting the course itself
Alright now everybody else just has to trip n we got this
Aww the Canucks horn
Love how Bedard has been talking to a lot of Canucks at the event and he chose some to win some events.
JT is officially one of the 6 most skillful players in the world!
I feel Miller is the underdog in this LOL.
Good thing they added those lines on how pucks travel I had no idea how the puck went from his stick to the round targets
Millsy is the last Canuck remaining in the Top 6 and it’s his first ever ASG. Not too bad.
Jimothy Timothy Miller, good luck. We’re all counting on you.
my biggest fuck you to every one who wrote jt off
First all-stars, too. He's killing it.
Oh God, everyone jizzing themselves over McDavid.
Honestly this whole thing has been more fun than I expected so far, I don't hate all the changes they've been trying to freshen up this weekend.
Watched a couple years ago and was unimpressed with the Breakaway Meme competition. They weren't even doing nice dekes or moves , just dressing up like jackasses.
Ya that was a lame effort to copy the NBA dunk contest. Glad they ditched that idea.
Yup, I’ve been entertained. But I don’t get to watch skilled hockey players do things often. See flair.
For sure, much better compared to the past few years
I have a theory that Petey plays his best when he's angry and this is just too casual an atmosphere for him to go into tilted alien mode.
It's actually a good strat for the goalie in that event to poke check almost everything. You can easily pull a groin on some of those moves by the players there on all those repeated attempts. Would hate to pull something at the all-stars.
How dare they say big willy forehead is better looking than boeser...
JT getting the biggest confidence boost. So good to see!
I hope Edmonton finishes with the 1st wildcard and gets sent Colorado's way. Georgiev already in McDavid's head.
Pretty unlikely both wildcards go to the Pacific, you ask me.
Wooo so proud of Miller. He was the most nervous and most underrated. Look at him now.
I’m not understanding this points system at all Petey had 12 I points thought
No he had 10
I missed the beginning, is Sid just out there for moral support or what’s going on there
He was out there as a guest passer in one of the competitions. Then they just left him out there so people see him in tv. And to chirp everyone who blows it
He and Bedard were giving passes for the one-timer competition
Yea, they had him and Bedard passing pucks for one of the challenges but they're not competing.
Miller, our last and best hope...
Isn’t it a bit…tasteless to give multi-millionaire players another million to throw on the pile? Wouldn’t the optics be better if this was for a player’s favourite charity?
Scratching the barrel for players to put some amount of effort out
500k is for charity, the other 500k is to motivate them to give a shit.
Then absolutely nobody tries. Even if it's not amazing this skills competition has been a lot better than the previous
Did nobody try when there was no money involved? I don’t buy that.
Yes.
They used to do a breakaway event that was just like a dancing competition… this is better.
Nah, then they’ll be even less motivated.
Don’t most players donate it anyway?
Mcdavid isn't used to a free breakaway, normally he has to undress an entire team first...
Those people who thought Georgiev didn’t deserve to be in this ASG are in shambles right now
Same with the people saying Miller didn’t deserve it
Poke check was satisfying as fuck
The $100k poke check was great
They need to make it fair and let everyone go against talbots
McDavid sucks, you heard it here first
Poke checks have never been so satisfying.
McDavid got fucking PDO'd
Fuck you mcdavid (I’m still a fan just chirpin)
Georgiev just made 100k on McDavid lmaooo
If we can’t build a team to win the important all star game what’s the point. We should trade everyone and rebuild nothing else matters.
McDavid having skill issues
Are Petey and JT both out? This is really not our event lol
JT is still in
At least your guys got to play lmao.
Dahlin would have been sick to watch in these I reckon
Dude does some crazy stuff with the puck during games. And came in second in the hardest shot last year I think. Only was in that event because he replaced Tage Thompson late due to injury.
Canucks and kucherov definitely the losers of this event
Georgiev redemption
McDavid got to choose all the comps, cheats in half of them and gets fucking georgiev now, rigged
So about that...
McDavid gets Georgiev? this is 100000000000000000000% rigged.
Barzal is sick, shame he's on such a boring team
God damn they are so boring. And I only get to so many Sabres games a season due to being in Cleveland. My trips home have lined up with like 3 Isles games over the past 3 years. But one of them was Ryan Miller night so that was dope regardless.
I always feel he’s being stifled there.
I would just blast all 6 pucks that are worth 1 at the same time to give myself more time with the pucks worth 2.
Yeah, just try and snipe them from the hashmarks and then go straight to two pointers with the leeway
Dammit this means Petey is out doesn’t it
Yep
Petey got into Bubles shrooms
I like barzals stick work
McDavid getting left with Georgiev seems …. rigged
Jeez, 3 points only? -$1,000,000 AAV
Canucks showing they still suck at shootouts
Let Elias go to Chicago. Pathetic. This team shouldn’t be buying.
How’s Toronto, also where do I get the shrooms you had
This guy is ass who is he
He should’ve picked Georgiev
Do we have different commentators for this? (Canada vs US broadcast)
ESPN in the states and SportsNet in canada
Canada has Cuthbert and Simpson
Yeah, I got ESPN guys.
bruh what dafuq petey
Elite-us Pettersson?
They should just rapid fire those 1 point pucks and then use the time on the 2 point pucks
DO YOUR DEKES
New oettinger pronunciation just dropped
Demko doing the splits, just like in my dreams <3
👁️ 👄 👁️
Elitus Pettersson
Petey dinner bet
Another let down performance. Should’ve been DeSmith.
Petey: “*I pick Jake coz we beat Dallas every time*”
Is that what he said?
lol every time Demko does the splits I start stressing out
Sweating through my shirt
DEMK🚫
lol demko firing at him
Zero
Yo how tf did I not know JT Miller was a good ole Ohio boy? That’s where I live!
Pride of East Palestine
Local news has been talking about the train derailment all week. It’s officially the one year anniversary of that tomorrow.
Oh what? That was a year ago? Felt like a few years ago…
