It is truly amazing how talented some of these guys are and this is their chance to show off their stuff.  The skills have been a part of the All-Star weekend since 1990 and every year they have been a lot of fun for both the fans and the players.  No true hockey fan would want to see the skills contests go.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Also, you can't say that you want the guys to go all out in the all-star game.  It's insane to risk the players' health on a game that means nothing.  It's one thing if you want to get rid of the game all together, but I think that viewers enjoy the game for what it is: A chance for guys to show off their skills.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720717845853421960/141820459544956630/comments/default/2861710029828312813'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720717845853421960/141820459544956630/comments/default/2861710029828312813'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.nychalktalk.com/2009/01/pros-and-cons-of-nhl-all-star-weekend_25.html?showComment=1233001020000#c2861710029828312813' title=''/><author><name>HNLI Alex</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14387380513671332910</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_a9AVmq7lWuk/R83KfOVMZJI/AAAAAAAAADE/xMSEjy7JZUU/S220/hnlinew.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.nychalktalk.com/2009/01/pros-and-cons-of-nhl-all-star-weekend_25.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6720717845853421960.post-141820459544956630' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6720717845853421960/posts/default/141820459544956630' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1722457280'/></entry></feed>
