Forward as we start round two of the draft back to you John yeah it is interesting McDavid or McKinnon could try to keep some of that Synergy away because they’re playing you they’re playing to win on Saturday uh so maybe there’s some even some deals before the show we don’t know all right
Connor you went goalie the first time around controversial pick everyone’s talking about it on social media what about your next pick we know what we’re going to do I think they know you had a commercial break right yeah I’m going let you guys make the call but go ahead uh we think that
We need a little bit of goal scoring so we got David P oh yeah carbo loading with pasta good call these three on the ice at the same time Le DAV having another MVP type season in Boston this year despite his fellow Legends retiring after last year so C her McDavid off
To a great start all right Tate McCrae announce your next pick with kale and Nate uh pick we’re going to take it back home to Denver Colorado and Alexander yeah you need a goalie why not go with one that kale communicates with on a nightly basis Alex gorv joins team mck they
Take one of their two go we have eight goalies here tonight to be chosen two gone so far six to go and team Matthews is on the board and Justin I want to know how much input are you having with the picks tonight you said what how much how much input are you
Having with these picks I mean I’m trusting these guys definitely trusting these guys your buddy’s still on the board here I think I might know where this pick’s going or maybe they’re going to go off the board uh Morgan uh Austin look that way let him know who you’re
Taking let’s do it get over here and there it is aaf reunion on baby Mitchner joining his neander Riley and Matthew goodness and there it is that’s a lot of Toronto round two Mitchner and now it’s four map Leafs on team Matthews and that means team Hughes is on the board not for
One but for two picks it’s a lot of Liberation here brothers are crying they get two picks In A Row D all right firstly we got to figure this out I got to know this the first pick doesn’t matter the second are you playing D or Center like I always want you to
Play who stand we proudly select from My Hometown Bank P Demco there it is goalie taken by team Hughes and nice to get the kuu players together the kucks with six players and a head coach the most representation we’ve seen at an NHL allstar game mat dco joins the
Team yeah who’s the fastest you guys are on the board once again for a second pick all right our uh third pick we’re going to go from the Winnipeg Jets Kyle Connor wow sneaky goal scorer Kyle Conor conck and jets getting together man how you
Doing yes sir good to meet you too First Time allar Jake AER joining team Matthews all right team McKinnon is your call of course uh Nate you’re were a Tim bit kid right yep what’s your favorite Tim Horton’s donut do you have one probably the Boston
Cream let’s go that’s got to count right number one overall donut all right you’re building a strong team who’s the next selection uh I see a lot of them uh in our division so got to go with Carill capriel oh Carill come on up what’s up
Buddy hi nice meet you so carof of the Minnesota Wild joinin so team McDavid once again has two picks pretty good position to be in Connor obviously went goalie first man you get pasta that’s a good value pick right there um what where you
Going next you have two picks in a row yeah um I think we need uh a defenseman there’s there’s only a handful of them here right we’re going to go with Ros Miss do oh filthy Nobody Breaks
Ankles like Rasmus D at the Blue Line this guy is like a young Allen Iverson he is filthy he’ll join a strong offensive jugernaut right now you might want to find a two-way player here any any
Two-way players here okay what’s that one more pick it right away it out I don’t know this we have not discussed so this is happening on the fly yeah what do you think will put on your analysis here’s my rule when it comes to picking team hockey teams don’t ask the
Actor you know what I mean there um that’s I think John Candy made a few picks for the K boys what do you think kind of caught us off guard um what do you think goalie turn your mic
Off first you really can’t lose they’re they’re all really good okay uh we will pick uh Robbie Thomas there we go Robert Thomas there we go met the lead singer of Matchbox 20 for a second was he here Robert Thomas excellent offensive player
What so team McDavid continues to get Sol he bu shaped up all right good call back to McKinnon okay all right Tate how much info do you have in all this pardon how much input pick your favorite player you know yeah I’m looking at the names uh I
Kind of trusting the guys on this one um Sebastian AO I think that’s a pretty good one he can do it all he can score he can take a face off he’ll block a shot if he has to so Sebastian AO with the Carolina hurricane the latest selection from Nathan McKinnon
Squad all right so it’s Austin Matthews Justin Bieber and Morgan Riley about to make a pick you got your goal tender last round you’re going back to a goalie you’re finding a forward what’s the plan uh I don’t know I think uh we’re to go with a forward from the Arizona Coyotes
Clayton Keller oh yeah Arizona reunion you know him so well you know his game I got my guy Arizona golf buddies good to me too yeah you guys go how far back do you guys go uh junior so
Yeah 16 17 how cool is it that we’re seeing the growth of the sport you’re in but really Across America got to do you got to do a right you love to see it and you know nontraditional hockey markets and uh places like that it’s good to see more more kids playing hockey
Picking up a stick and and just enjoying it so well that’s good and Morgan how much influence are you having on these PS do you think Brock will be yeah it’s been fun um I think the picks
Have been good so we got some work to do but I think we’re in a good spot all right so there’s team Matthews they get Clayton K and now we’re over to team Hughes he’ll be okay been all over
The board not sure what to predict here team Hughes we need another 10 minutes that’s all Michael what’s the issue is there is there issues guys AR yeah the issue is many good hockey players we have literally the greatest players on the planet and there isn’t a bad
Pick and so it’s impossible to know which of the greatest hockey players on our planet to pick and I’m eating into our 30 seconds so what’s up boys where are we doing all right you want to go first cap we’re taking uh let’s do this all right from the Ottawa Senators Brady to
Chuck and look at this Brady K Shu what a great pick the captain Senator maybe a bit of a surprise there’s still some Vancouver K waiting to be drafted but team H they found their man in Brady kachuck let’s recap now go through teams one through four all
Right so team used the tail of the tape they picked Nikita CRA on first overall they add a star golender Demco then Kyle Connor and Brady kachuck as they round out their first picks team Austin Matthews they select William naner in Mitch Marner as they keep the band together and
Then Jake Ginger the goalie from the dollar stars and Clayton K A Reunion of sorts from Arizona and the Eminem boys McKinnon and Mar and McCrae Sydney Crosby what a great selection for them they get their teammate goalie early and then Capri off and AO to round out them and
Team McDavid they took the first goalie they get pasta a defenseman and Rasmus Dalene and Robert Thomas could do it all in the offensive end as well so all 14 off to a good start David speed
Rounds are coming up so keep it locked here it’s the Tim Horton NHL Allstar player draft welcome back to the Tim Hortons Allstar player draft as we continue on here a goalie has been taken by each organization so far three three of them American Born just like Jeremy swam so Jeremy
You’re sitting here these four teams all need one more goalie uh how nervous are you I see a little sweat on the brow yeah uh I saw the two names I was sitting between and I knew pretty
Quick I was going to be cast on an island so I’ll work hard for you guys and hopefully uh we get some good luck coming our way you anticipated being here by yourself once you were with your
Fellow guys I did I knew that pretty quick how does a goalie prepare for an All-Star game like this three on three you guys have the most pressure on it uh what can you bring to one of these organizations I think uh I’m really glad that it’s not counting towards my actual
Stats but I’m going to do my job and hopefully um help our team get a chance to win all right we’ll see if maybe your American Brothers the Hughes will select you for their second goalie David what are they going to do there has been an American theme with Team Hughes their last
Three picks have been Americans and some of the national five cans matter they’re debating it now and then we can try to trade for MSY after there all right make your P yeah yeah go go ahead man
All right from the New Jersey Devils Jer brat and and there you go the man who is replacing Jack Hughes at the allstar game Devil’s brothers and now Allstar Brothers as well up R all right so team Hughes is made a selection you’re going to need a goalie I believe in your
Next selection team Hughes and and we’re back to team Matthews okay we want to hear you guys deliberate what your next pick’s going to be but I do have a question you see yes for hair you guys play with obviously William neander rock besser’s out there who’s got the
Best hair in the league oh it’d be a close tie between those two I think I don’t know maybe Willie though Mor what do you think Willie always Willie all right so let’s uh here you guys still need a goalie you have a few picks to make uh you Justin Morgan but
When you talk it through yeah I think we’re going to wait on the goalie right we already talked it through I think we know who won from the New York Islanders Matthew barzel oh he’s filthy like that that’s aity Matthew barzel he’s going for the MVP award his third All-Star Game
Fastest skater back in 2020 brother and it’s a British columia homecoming right and there it is Matthew barcel well that was going on I I saw a couple of Hughes Brothers pop over here and got in Nathan McKinnon’s ear I don’t know if Elliot Freedman is already tweeted this out but was a
Trade offered you or something Nathan what was going on just a mutual understanding he did me a favor earlier in the draft so he wants me to pay it back to him but Tate’s going to make our
Next pick here so okay so T did they influence this pick or this is the pick you’re going to make yeah um they’re saying we need to add some grit so we’re going to go with Tom Wilson perfect
Nice we need somebody who’s going to fight Brady kachuck Tom Wilson we did size on the squad so Tom Wilson goes to team McKinnon all right team McDavid talk it through will what do we need what are the deficiencies
What’s going to bring this a championship on Saturday we’re playing to win we uh we’ve given this a lot of thought we we’ve applied all of our brain power to it okay and we thought you
Seem disorganized last time I got to admit but you see how hard it is for me to think F every oce energy uh from Florida Sam Reinhardt just having a monster monster season why would you take a guy on a heater when you think of hot NHL Commodities just Edmonton they’ve won
16 in a row and you think Sam Reinhardt Sam grab your jersey right behind you now that’s a quality pick okay so everyone has to pick a goalie now right because we’re down the part of
The draft where you guys have to pick the four remaining goalies and so you pick the first one um what’s up next for team McDavid yeah we got to go another goalie um I think we’re going to grab Sam’s teammate from Florida Sam bosski or uh Sergey barosi [Music] Serge they go
Thaty so Sergey bosi joining team McDavid so team McDavid their current roster as you see David dry pel early then they had pasta Dalene robbert Thomas and Sam Reinhardt couple of righties and then Sergey bosi in net
So now we’re on to team McKinnon again you have three goalies to choose from kale Mar you know goalies which one you going to choose it’s tough they’re all good yeah we’ve been told we got to
Pick a goalie so um this guy’s been all right this year we’re go with Jeremy Swan not bad Jeremy come on over University of main product Mike RoR Award winner welcome to the squad bro y nice to meet you good stuff couple Hockey East College hockey players kale Mar and Jeremy San
All right over to you David so well let’s go through team McKinnon Squad first again m the car that’s always a good start they get Crosby with their first pick gorg of inet capriso AO Wilson San all right team Matthews who’s your attendee all right so we need a second goenda
You have two options what do you have uh we’re going to go with from the New York Rangers eigor shurin ano with a winner joins team Matthews and rounds up their go how you doing What’s so for team Matthews alongside Morgan Riley they kept it in house with William naner and Mitch Harner early on then they found a goalie in Jake AER Clayton Peller and Matthew barzel with some Junior ties to these guys and then eigor shurin the vno winner a few years ago joins team Matthews
Which firmly puts team Hughes on the clock and I this is a pretty easy pick to make for you guys yeah the goalie we get two now right uh but you just just one we have commercial breaks too
So okay okay uh before the commercial break you guys want to make this why didn’t you make this one dude uh which one you think I think Brock uh from andur conect Brock besser oh oh wait you guys
Needed a you needed a goalie though you have you have take a goal hold on Brock Hold on he’ll be back after the commercial break you got to take the rolles two goalies before the seventh round
So there’s one goalie so we wanted we were going to take the goalie but we thought we were just cuz we had two in a row we felt like can we get security down here please I feel like I just lost
A Grammy or an Academy Award or something tell it you going to do the honors you’re good go for it go for it go for it all right cam talet let’s go camer there he is a home coming for cam T but
A second All-Star game for the Kings goalie had to take your goalies before round seven we had we had to we had your com me next all every and there’s team Hughes after seven rounds a distinct flavor
To this Quin Hughes team with Pon they had kerov Demco Kyle Conor Brady kachuck yeser brat and cam talbat rounding out the first seven rounds of our NHL Allstar player draft okay well time to take a break I think we know who team Hughes will take next if they don’t there’ll be issues
In Vancouver we’ll be back with that pick next welcome back to a very busy Scotia Bank Arena hockey fans from around the world keeping their eye on this including Brock besser who’s waiting to have his name called and it was almost called there Brock what’s a guy have to do you’re the
2018 All-Star MVP you’re on Pace for 50 goals what’s going on here um yeah I don’t know it’s just uh a new year and uh you know just a new self mentally and uh it’s been a great year
For our team so far everyone’s been working hard and uh our whole coaching staff has been great so it’s been fun has it been nerve-racking though sitting through all these picks uh not too not
Too bad because I got MSY and Lindy with me so you got some teammates and some friends here your new teammate too all right we’re going to continue this draft and it’s team Hughes on the board and

This is a different format do you like the format yeah it’s been cool so far I think the captains are doing a good job and you know the guys sitting here are anxiously waiting well the
Leafs and halves have a rivalry but do you want to make any plea at all because it is going to be Austin Matthews and Morgan Riley and Justin Bieber making the next selection yeah hopefully
Uh we can put the Rivalry aside maybe but you know who knows it’s a long rivalry for sure all right that’s the luck we got it three more rounds John all right team Matthews uh Justin your squad only has one defenseman that we talked about maybe adding another another one or where do
You think the team should go right now awesome what are you thinking is this our pick Austin our pick we on the clock the clock um know who you’re going to pick he has the best mustache

Obviously watching the Leafs grow up um growing up um yeah have a lot of family and friends in town um especially for me 16 wins in a row your team is on the heater you and Leon um what does
That feel like when you come to an All-Star Weekend you take a break and you’re still on this this magical run does it make this more relaxing and fun certainly a lot better than
Where we were um you know we still got a long way to go we dug ourselves a big hole and um we’re doing a good job of getting ourselves out of it but certainly special to be on a
On a run like that um it feels good yeah five more months it’s a long season and a long way to go but we hope to see you guys in June all right so you look at the squad three on three
This Saturday Allstar format will Arnette uh where are we going where do you think we should go if you talk to the boys about I think we I think we’ve got a consensus right yeah we yeah that’s unanimous you got it uh we’re gonna go with Boon Jenner oh boom Jenner they’re not

Short-handed in this game a couple times we’ll have to wait and see on that one David Amber and team Matthews of course Austin and Morgan Riley selecting two teammates William Mander and Mitch Marner off the Hop and then AER and shurin are their goalies hel barel and Philip forsberg as
Austin says with the best mustache in the game round out their first seven picks and for team Hughes they’re contemplating things right now Michael bé is very animated over there but he likes the squad so far they’ve selected Nikita kucherov the leading Point getter in the NHL
Thater Demco Kyle Connor Brady kachu out a little grit yes for brat Cam talet and Brock besser all right one more selection for each team had plenty of time to talk about it Connor we
Know where we’re going yeah I think so um will do you want to make it yeah we’re going to uh pick a guy who’s uh an awesome hockey player he plays for a team that is a long standing rival
Of the Leafs because he’s a half My Team LEAF is my hometown of Toronto wow but we’re going to pick Mr Nick Suzuki come on a lot of love in the room Nick Suzuki how are you so Nick Suzuki
Will join his team McDavid so we’ll watch Nick skate over there’s his Squad saying hi to his teammates for a day Saturday three on three as we have four 11 player squads here and Nick Suzuki is the latest to join team McDavid all right team McCrae team mckinon team Mar mmm

Elias [Music] lenol yeah hearing that this weekend wearing a flame Jersey so now one of those unique situations where for the first time he wears a kuu jersey here at All-Star Weekend Elias lolm a lot of teams wanted him and Vancouver got him and this team got him two team McKinna well
[Music] done and that puts Austin Matthews on the clock there’s been very little deliberation you guys are kind of chill just going about your business are you disagree on every pick I think we just yeah we know who we want and just make the pick easy as that
You have one defenseman you have your two goalies and and uh what are you thinking with your second last pick Morgan’s going to make this one Alex De Brat from the Detroit Red Wings there he is Alex the bring he’s got a one time bomb second time Allar and there it is you have a lot of undersized forward on your team like Fast crafty guys [Music] all right so Austin Matthews has one more pick to make and here’s the final pick up the eighth round
Team use they’ve been talking a lot Michael D’s been doing most of the talking what’s going on oh I mean uh we’re in heaven we love the team we have beautiful are you kidding me um who wants to we

David it’s uh uh five five withco never that so my goodness it’s the Vancouver Canucks versus the Toronto M police when you look at these two teams because clear r that show all those so we have four players left we’re going to take a break and they’re going to find out what team

This def wasn't scripted . So cool how they had all the players names on the correct jerseys …
Yk how TV companies try to reboot a show that everyone really liked but it ends up just being a crappy version of the first one? This is that.
More flavour in a rice cake than the whole NHL combined … everyone trying to act so cool
I feel bad for Nate Mac he was tripping
Wow, I don't know about this picking players thing. You will run into players you did not pick early in the playoffs lol. I personally think this is really dumb. Anyone else?
Always surprises me how many people sleep on Forsberg. He'd score 40 every year if he wasn't on such a mess of a team.
Biebsssss❤
Kuch was visibly lonely and lost
Hockey players are so boring it’s almost insane how all of them can be the same
the best part was tate locking her lips at the end. omfg i would sacrifice everything for her
PK is bad at commentary and interviews. He's friendly and willing to talk unlike most hockey people but that doesnt make him good at it. Weekes is ptetty good. Buccigross is good.
Where was the budget for proper lighting?
I wonder what Dave Keon said to Viny when he pointed at his Rangers jersey.
At least Toronto likes to go down with the ship with the same team hahahaha
Buble on shrooms press conference brought me here and it seemed to take forever. Bieber, McRae and Arnett was a pleasant surprise. All three of them are cool and buble on shrooms was a smart decision
Kuch first overall he’s just so talented
This was so bad . I feel like back in 1998 back in school when we pick up players to our team and always the not good ones were pick as a last…this is painful and bad to watch .I feel so bad for those players ..like why they did something like that if they already know it will be like that ..hope this will never happen again ..geeezz..I knew it that the captain's pick up them friends from same team ..such a disgrace to players ..
Crowd deader than a dead rat
“Olivander Bjorkstrand” How do you add so many extra letters to a simple name like Oliver? He said it wrong more than once too. I hope someone corrected him.
I can't believe Biz, Gretzky, Lundqvist, Subban or ANYBODY but those two guys weren't hosts. Absolutely brutal. NHL misses again.
the amount of salary in that building could solve hunger in toronto that the crazy thing
yikes….
Stupid
Boring
the NHL really sucks at this. Is it a candian influence thing. Get a pulse on what works production wise and what doesn't. This is lame as hell.
the only thing i don't like about the all-star this year are these jersey's
Best hair in the league
Why are their names on their asses?
Nice to see justin beaver sitting on his tail most of the time.
Looked like he didn't even want to be there, and he partnered with the NHL for the Doritos Jerseys.
Brutal execution by the NHL. Production was off, and the hosts were awkward.
Bettman makes the NHL worse, I have no clue how he gets voted in.
sometimes the nhl's production quality is WAY below where it should be
This whole things seems like a last minute group project
Come on NHL, we don't want to see the same teammates playing on the same team. Make it fun and mix it up.
😂 Its all bad acting. They all already had jerseys with their name and numbers on them! Lol. Way to take a good idea and ruin it. 😅
What is Beiber on? No part in anything! Stand up bro… wow
Damn team McDavid thought they were drafting what their Oilers needed to win a cup.
NHL told Lil Bieber he couldn't enter the players dressing rooms while they changed!
Why does this look so awkward?
why do hockey players have zero personality
I have so much respect for Oliver Bjorsktrand. Canceled his vacation, had his name butchered, and then got picked last and handled all of this with grace. I didn’t really know who he was before, but he is definitely one of my new favourite players.
There is literally an ad every 3 seconds what the fugg
Would of loved to see luke snd quinn on a pairing
Not because I'm a Leafs fan, but this years NHL All-Stars was really good from start to finish. From the (Canadian) celebrity stars; to the 1 million dollar prize sills competition with good effort put into it from the players, and finished off with the 1 million dollar All-Stars match(s), again with good effort from the players.
