NHL Skills Competition

Big let down this year. They need to get rid of the breakaway competition
where the players do crazy moves trying to score. Sure, the moves are
neat, but nobody ever scores.

I like the elimination breakaway contest. That's a nice touch. However,
the accuracy shooting seems too easy these days. Only three people had
ever hit 4 for 4 until last year. Now, three people have done it in the
last two years. They need to move the shooting line back a few feet.

Hardest shot is still entertaining, but fastest skater is too fast and
boring. The young stars game had no hitting.

The greatest crime of the whole thing, however, is the presentation style.
It went so fast. The graphics we're non-existent. If the sound wasn't on,
you would have no clue what was going on. The clock on the scoreboard
wasn't even synched up with the feed. Not a great showing in Montreal.
Here's hoping the game will be better.
