NHL all-star game playground draft 8pm on Versus
Remember when the NHL announced that the all-star game rosters would be decided by a playground style captain's pick 'em?
Remember how many of us thought that would make great TV (even if we may not really know that many NHL players)?
It's on from 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm tonight, Versus, CBC (I think) and TSN in Canada.
If this were NBA or NFL we would have been hearing about it for weeks. Should be good entertainment.
Consider this the 'open thread' if anyone wants to comment while watching.

Imaginary +1 for the reminder, thanks. There's no hockey talk down here so I almost forgot about the format change.

Even as a huge NHL fan, I am just not looking forward to it that much. I will be watching though. Also Yahoo has had like 5 articles over the last couple of days. My buddy who doesnt watch hockey even asked me about it.

I love that they split the brothers up.

Im watching it on TSN in Canada and the host James Duffy is ruining it. He never shuts up.
January 28th, 2011 at 8:28 PM ^
I think he is actually doing an okay job. This is not supposed to be serious and he is doing a good job keeping it fun.
January 28th, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
Honestly, Duffie is a joke. The only thing good about this is the cute black haired model coming out to bring the jerseys out.
January 28th, 2011 at 8:34 PM ^
The model in the blue is definitely better
January 28th, 2011 at 8:38 PM ^
Hiler has some crazy glasses!
January 28th, 2011 at 8:39 PM ^
hiller looks like a mad scientist
January 28th, 2011 at 8:52 PM ^
I think the NHL got something right for once.
January 28th, 2011 at 9:56 PM ^
How much fun would this be with the NBA? Fantastic Fun!

Assuming the Spring Game retains the alumni flag football game...
A similar draft livecast on mgoblue.com would be an absolute riot...
DB?
