Would love to see this for the other leagues, especially the NBA

Love to see it in baseball too, especially if they mixed leagues -- but first they'd have to drop that absurd World Series home-team advantage rule.

3. I thought the way Eric Staal made brother Marc sweat was pretty funny. |
|
I'm heading to the skills competition pretty soon. Then tomorrow, the All Star game.

4. I definately liked the concept also |
|
and really think the NBA fans would agree.
About the only downside is that hockey players aren't as flamboyant as their NBA counterparts. It got a little drab.

5. Your downside is my upside, and one of the reasons i like hockey so much. |
|
I like that the players are down to Earth. They certainly seem a lot more humble than most other sport's stars are, and i think that's a plus. :)

6. I totally agree that I love hockey way more than basketball for that very reason |
|
but this was a show, not the actual game.
It would have been more entertaining with the personalities that basketball players have.

7. I think Ovi is one one of the few players that's flamboyant. |
|
And, love him or hate him, he seems to be having a great time whenever I see him.
I can't wait for real games to start tomorrow so we can see some actual body checks and slapshots!

9. I can't decide if I like him or not. |
|
Some of his antics bug me, but he's also very fun to watch.

10. You mean the juvenile goofiness? |
|
That's not personality. That's arrested development.
