yeah, me and the family will be watching.
i think/want the east will win because of their firepower, also watched the skills competition last night and it was great entertainment!
have to say malkins accuracy was amazing and well done to chara for breaking the hardest shot record.

fair play to chara he is a beast of a player, isnt he the tallest player to ever grace the nhl? looking forward to tonight, but i agree with you cant see the east loosing with that much creativity and firepower in the forward lines, and there defence aint too shabby either with guys like chara and markov should be a feast of hockey, cant wait :)

I'm not sure Malkin did go 4/4 on his 1st attempt though, looked more like 4/6 but he won the shoot-off easily. Mixed feelings about the skills game. Started awfully with the worst band in the world(tm), then the 30 sec delay so Montreal could give Vinny a standing ovation was cringeworthy, someone should tell Montreal he doesn't play for them yet! The speed skating was ok, the breakaway challenge was a joke but good to see Malkin and Ovie have buried the hatchet. The three on three and fastest shot were OK though.

I think the East definitely have the edge in the forwards tonight but the west have the better netminding and defence so it could be hard to pick a winner.

the game was on nasn last night, im guessing there showing replays all day though

very entertaining free flowing game with alot of skill on show, loved malkins goal in the second period absolutely phenomenal.

finnished 11-11 after regulation, and the two couldnt be seperated in ot. the east won on in the s/o with alex ovechkin getting the winning penalty shot.

for an all star game the speed of the third period and overtime was great. More enjoyable than most I've seen and some very nice goals on show throughout. It was funny to see Bettman booed when he came on to present the first star award.
