Reminder! NHL All Star Game Is Back!

I'm sure most of you don't give a rat's ass, but tomorrow is the NHL All Star Game, which will be the first one held in three years due to the season lost to the lockout and the Olympic Break last year. I wanted to post this outstanding video of top goals in NHL history to remind everyone how outstanding a sport the NHL can be when Commissioner Bettman is not trying to destroy it with his ridiculous rule changes. Enjoy:



I particularly enjoyed #17. That goal showed why the Big E was the best Flyer since Clarkie. It's a shame injuries and meddling parents robbed us of seeing him at his full potential for more than only a few years.

By the way, goal #15 totally sucked. Watching Niinimaa getting undressed while wearing #44 is eerily reminiscent of what we see on a night to night basis with the current Flyer wearing that number.

Niinimaa looked like a douche twice on that highlight reel.

By the way, it was nice to see Simon Gagne be creative and score in the All-Star shootout. What the *&$#? He can't do that in the Flyers games when it means something?

Funny, I thought the same thing about Gagne...for once he makes a move instead of that bullshit he pulled on Saturday
