SHOOTER AS WE GET SET FOR THE ONE-ON-ONE. THIS IS THE EVENT WHERE THE SHOOTERS GET TO CHOOSE WHICH GOALIE THEY WANT TO GO HEAD TO HEAD AGAINST FOR 60 SECONDS AND THERE’S CASH ON THE LINE FOR THE NET MINDERS AS WELL, CHRIS. >> Chris: YES.

BEEN ALL ABOUT 12 PLAYERS SO FAR TONIGHT, BUT NOW EIGHT MORE WILL BE INTRODUCED. BUT BEFORE WE GET TO THE GOALTENDERS, HERE ARE THE TOP EIGHT AS WE GET THROUGH THE COMPETITION AND ELIMINATE FOUR >> Craig: IF YOU’RE HAND CAPPING THE FIRST SIX EVENTS I DON’T

THINK ANYBODY IS SURPRISED IT’S CONNOR McDAVID AT THE TOP. JUST HIS SPEED AND HIS ABILITY TO SKATE WITH AND WITHOUT THE PUCK. HIS ACCURACY, AND HE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY HERE GOING INTO EVENT NUMBER 7 >> BACK TO ICE LEVEL AND KEVIN BIESKA. >> Kevin: THANKS, GUYS.

THE FIRIRST PART OF THE EVENT I MAKING A DECISION, WHO DO YOU WANT TO GO AGAINST. YOU HAVE TO THINK FOR THE GOALTENDERS, IF THEY’RE CHOSEN, THERE’S SOMETHING PERSONAL THERE AND THEY WILL WANT TO SHUT THE DOOR. YOU CAN SEE A STARING MATCH,

>> Craig: IT IS A STAREDOWN. >> Chris: YOU WANT ME? YOU WANT ME? YOU GOT ME >> Chris: TIME TO MEET THE GOALTENDERS. >> Announcer: IT’S TIME FOR THE NHL ALL-STAR ONE-ON-ONE. LET’S MEET THE ALL-STAR GOALIES PARTICIPATING IN THIS EVENT. FROM THE FLORIDA PANTHERS, SERGEI BOBROVSKY!

FROM THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS, THATCHER DEMKO! FROM THE COLORADO AVALANCHE, ALEXANDAR GEORGIEV! FROM THE WINNIPEG JETS, CONNOR HELLEBUYCK! FROM THE DALLAS STARS, JAKE OETTINGER! FROM THE NEW YORK RANGERS, IGOR SHESTERKIN! FROM THE BOSTON BRUINS, JEREMY SWAYMAN! AND FROM THE LOS ANGELES KINGS, CAM TALBOT!

NOW, PLEASE WELCOME SPORTSNET’S DAVID AMBER AND ESPN’S KEVIN WEEKS. >> David: DOWN TO OUR FINAL EIGHT COMPETITORS AND OF COURSE THE GOALIES ARE HERE AS WELL AND WE’RE GOING IN REVERSE ORDER AND WE HAVE WILLIAM NYLANDER, EIGHTH IN THE STANDINGS BUT CAN MAKE UP GROUND.

WE HAVE YOU PICK YOUR GOALIE. WHO DO YOU LIKE? YOU HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT. >> I’M GOING WITH CAM TALBOT, HE’S STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, SO THAT’S THE ONE I’M PICKING >> David: YOU SAID CAM TALBOT. YOU’RE STARING HIM DOWN. WHY HIM?

>> BECAUSE HE WAS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME SO I FELT THAT WAS A GOOD CHOICE >> David: THE LOCAL BOY CAM TALBOT IS TAKING THE NET AGAINST WILLIAM NYLANDER, GOOD LUCK. >> Chris: I LIKE THAT STRATEGY OF NYLANDER. TRYING NOT TO INSULT CAM

>> Craig: THAT’S RIGHT. >> Chris: IT’S CONVENIENCE. >> Craig: YOU’RE RIGHT HERE, WE’RE THE CLOSEST TO THE NET. DON’T HAVE TO MAKE YOU SKATE VERY FAR >> Chris: SO SIX POINTS, ONE MINUTE, LET’S SEE WHAT NYLANDER CAN DO. BEEN A BRILLIANT YEAR WITH 61

POINTS SO FAR >> Craig: THE FIRST PUCKS ARE WORTH ONE POINT, ONCE YOU GET PAST THOSE, THE ONES ON THE BLUE LINE ARE TWO POINTS EACH AND THERE’S A MINUTE TO GET IT UNDER. IF YOU GET THE PUCK BEFORE THE MINUTE YOU CAN FINISH OFF THE

LAST SHOT >> Chris: CAM’S SON CHEERING HIM ON. CAM WAS EXCITED TO BE BACK HOME FOR THIS ALL-STAR GAME. HIS SECOND APPEARANCE. OF COURSE A NATIVE OF CALEDONIA, ONTARIO. NYLANDER MISSED THE TARGET ON THE FIRST. TALBOT HAS THE ANSWER ON PUCK NUMBER TWO. AND THAT ONE DOES LEAK THROUGH.

SO NYLANDER IS ON THE BOARD. 88 BACK TO WORK. GLOVE STOP BY TALBOT! LOOKING SHARP. NYLANDER GOES FIVE-HOLE. >> Craig: THESE ARE ALL WORTH TWO POINTS FOR EVERY GOAL. OH, HE SLID ACROSS AND GOT IT. >> Chris: THREE POINTS FOR NYLANDER. STILL HAS 30 SECONDS LEFT.

AND TALBOT ABLE TO KEEP THAT OUT. 20 SECONDS REMAINING FOR NYLANDER. PUTS THAT BACKHAND WIDE >> Craig: COMING IN COLD FOR THE GOALTENDER, AND JUST MATCHING WITS HERE WITH NYLANDER. FLEAS ONE, A FIVE-HOLE. — THERE’S ONE, A FIVE-HOLE. >> Chris: UP TO FIVE POINTS FOR NYLANDER.

AND ANOTHEHER, AND HE’S GOT THE PUCK BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT SO THIS PUCK IS STILL ALIVE. AND OH! WHAT A FINISH FOR WILLIAM NYLANDER! GOING PETER FORSBERG FOR HIS FINAL GOAL >> Craig: ONE THING THAT STANDS OUT, DOESN’T IT, IS H HOW LONG

MINUTE IS. >> Chris: YEAH, DOES IT EVER. >> Craig: YOU THINK OF A LONG SHIFT IN A NHL GAME, YOU GET A LINE TRAPPED IN THERE FOR A MINUTE. I THINK BOTH THESE COMBATANTS ARE FEELING, MAN, THAT MINUTE WAS A WHOLE LOT LONGER THAN IT

SEEMED. THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL LAST GOAL THERE AS TALBOT STRECHZ OUT — STRETCHES OUT BUT CAN’T GET THE FOOT ON IT >> Chris: SO WE’LL GO BACK WITH THE NEXT MATCHUP WITH KEVIN WEEKS. >> Kevin: ALL RIGHT, THANKS, I’M

HERE AT ICE LEVEL WITH NATE THE GREAT, NATE DOG, NATE MacKINNON. I’M NOT SURE WHO YOU’RE LOOKING FOR HERE BUT I GOT A SENSE IT’S SERGEI BOBROVSKY. ARE YOU GOOD WITH THAT? >> YEAH, ONE OF THE BEST EVER, SO I’LL TRY MY LUCK HERE AND SEE

WHAT I CAN DO >> Kevin: ALREADY SERGEI BOBROVSKY OF THE FLORIDA PANTHERS, YOU’RE UP, BOBS. >> Chris: ANOTHER INTERESTING STRATEGY WHERE YOU LET KEVIN WEEKS DECIDE. >> Craig: LET HIM DECIDE WHO YOU’RE GOING AGAINST. THE ONE THEY’RE TRYING TO MAKE

SURE DOESN’T HAPPEN IS YOU HAVE A GUY GOING UP AGAINST HIS OWN GOALTENDER. SO A COUPLE OF VANCOUVER CANUCKS IN THERE, THAT WILL BE INTERESTING WITH DEMKO. >> Chris: BOBROVSKY TIED FOR THIRD IN WINS WITH 23, AND OF COCOURSE NATHAN MacKINNON SECON IN SCORING.

GETS ONE THROUGH THERE. SO MacKINNON ON THE BOARD. AND A SLICK MOVE TO THE BACKHAND FOR NATHAN MacKINNON. 31 GOALS. 84 POINTS. AND EIGHT GOALS IN HIS FINAL FOUR GAMES GOING INTO THE ALL-STAR BREAK. FUMBLED THAT. THAT’S COSTLY BECAUSE THESE ARE THE TWO POINT PUCKS

>> Craig: THESE ARE THE ONES YOU HAVE TO PUT IN AS THE DOUBLES, AND NOW THERE’S TWO ALREADY, AND ABOUT WHAT, 12 SECONDS HE HASN’T BEEN ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTATAGE O >> Chris: YEAH. AND NOW HE’S TIRING RUNNING OUT OF GAS HERE PERHAPS, MacKINNON.

AND BOBROVSKY HAS HAD ALL THE ANSWERS, HASN’T HE? AND ONE LAST, BOBROVSKY STOPPED, DOES HE GET ONE MORE PUCK OR NOT? I DON’T THINK HE KNEW THE RULE AND HE’LL PULL UP WITH JUST TWO, AND HE’LL CONGRATULATE BOBROVSKY AS WE REJOIN KEVIN. >> Kevin: WELL, IT IS CERTAINLY

A LONG MINUTE FOR THE PLAYERS AND WHEN YOU WATCH THEM THERE’S A DIFFICULTY IN BEING CREATIVE BECAUSE THIS IS AN EXTENDED VERSION OF A GAME CALLED JUSZCZYK BOY THE PLAYERS LIKE TO PLAY. IT’S USUALLY THREE PUCKS. YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THESE GUYS,

THEY GET INTO THE CYCLE OF MAKING THE SAME TURN AND SO IT’S JUST TOUGH TO BE CREATIVE. >> David: NEXT UP WITH J.T. MILLER. WHO DO YOU SELECT? YOU CAN’T TAKE DEMKO. >> I G GO WITH SWAY >> David: WHY SWAY? >> I CAN’T SCORE ON ANY OTHER

GUYS ON BREAKAWAYS. [ Laughter ] >> David: GOOD LUCK. >> Chris: SWAYMAN WILL BE TOUGH TO BEAT, TOO. 2.30, PART OF THE JENNINGS WINNER LAST YEAR >> Craig: THE ONLY TANDEM TO HAVE 40 WINS AND 20 WINS BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM.

JUST AN INCREDIBLE BATTERY THERE FOR THE BRUINS IN THEIR RECORD SEASON LAST YEAR. HAVING ANOTHER GREAT YEAR THIS YEAR. >> Chris: 7.5 POINTS, AND O FOR TWO AGAINST SWAYMAN SO FAR. THERE’S ONE. FOREHAND TO THE BLOCKER SIDE. AND GOT ANOTHER THROUGH, SO TWO POINTS AND HEADED TO THE

TWO-POINT PUCKS FOR J.T. MILLER. FANNED ON THAT, AND HAS UNDER A HALF MINUTE LEFT. HIS SEVENTH 20-GOAL SEASON. THIS ON PACE FOR HIS BEST. FANNED ON THAT LAST ONE >> Craig: I THINK HE TRIED AN OFF-SPEED PITCH THERE, OH. >> Chris: GOT THAT ONE.

>> Craig: GOT SWAYMAN TO GO DOWN AND JUST GREAT PATIENCE TO HOLD ONTO IT. >> Chris: SO FOUR POINTS, MAYBE TWO PUCKS LEFT. THERE’S ANOTHER. SO UP TO SIX. CAN HE GET TWO MORE SHOTS IN OR NOT? >> Craig: HE HAS TO HUSTLE TO GET THAT PUCK.

>> Chris: HE HAS TO HUSTLE AND HE RAN OUT OF TIME. GOING TO GIVE IT TO THEM, ARE THEY? DOESN’T MATTER, SIX POINTS FOR J.T. MILLER. SO WILLIAM NYLANDER CONTINUES TO LEAD >> Craig: HOW ABOUT THE GOALIES? SITTING WATCHING THIS WHOLE SKILLS AND COMING IN COLD.

THEY’VE DONE A GOOD JOB OF BEING ACROBATIC, TAKING AWAY THE LOWER PART, AND THERE’S ONE THAT GETS UNDERNEATH THE ARM.M. GOOD PATIENCE BY MILLER ON THAT ONE. AND THE GOALTENDERS, AS YOU MENTIONED, CHRIS, GOING FOR $100,000, THE MOST SAVES, AND IF THEY’RE TIED IT WILL GO TO THE

BEST SAVE PERCENTAGE >> Chris: OKAY. WHO DOES AUSTON MATTHEWS GET? >> David: WE HAVE HOMETOWN BOY PAWS MATTHEWS, NHL LEADER IN GOALS SCORED. LET’S HEAR IT FROM THE FANS. [ Cheers and Applause ] >> David: YEAH. NOW YOU’RE BACK GTA. WHO ARE YOU GOING WITH?

>> I’M GOING WITH THATCHER DEMKO >> Kevin: OOOH, THE BIG MAN FROM VAN. ALL RIGHT. >> Chris: THAT’S BOLD, ISN’T IT? >> Craig: I THINK THERE’S THE HOST MAKING SURE PETTERSSON DOESN’T HAVE TO PICK HIS GOALTENDER. HE KNOWS THE DEAL. THIS WILL BE A GOOD BATTLE

>> Chris: THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS, THE TOP GOAL SCORER GETS THE NUMBER TWO GOALIE IN WINS. THERE’S A MATTHEWS MOVE TO THE BACKHAND AND HE’S ON THE BOARD. DEMKO STANDS HIS GROUND. .920 SAVE PERCENTAGE. SUCH A BIG PRESENCE IN THAT GOAL. MATTHEWS JUST ONE POINT.

AND NOW T THE TWO-POINT PUCKS WH A HALF MINUTE TO GO. WHAT A MOVE! >> Craig: ONE THING ABOUT THE TWO-POINT PUCKS, LOOK HOW MUCH MORE ROOM YOU HAVE TO MANIPULATE WHERE THE GOALIE WILL GO. THE ONES IN TIGHT THE GOALTENDER DOESN’T HAVE TO MOVE MUCH.

THE FIRST PLAY BY MATTHTHEWS SHS YOU CAN GET THEM MOVING MORE EFFECTIVELY >> Chris: UP TO FIVE POINTS. GOT A DOZEN SECONDS TO GO. NEXT GOAL WILL GET HIM INTO SECOND. AND HE’S GOT THAT. AND CAN HE TIE HIS TEAMMATE WILLIAM NYLANDER? LAST PUCK, NEEDS TWO MORE, AND

DEMKO STRETCHES OUT, AND MATTHEWS LEFT WITH SEVEN POINTS. HE MOVES INTO SECOND PLACE IN THE ONE-ON-ONE COMPETITION >> Craig: LOOK AT IT. YOU GET THE FEELING THAT THAT MINUTE, JUST YOUR LUNGS ARE BURNING, YOUR LEGS ARE BURNING A LITTLE BIT, TOO.

HE DID A GREAT JOB THERE EARLY ON OF FORCING DEMKO TO GO DOWN. BUT THAT LAST ONE THAT HE CAME IN, THIS IS THE LONG LEGS OF DEMKO ABLE TO SORT OF TRAP HIM. DIDN’T HAVE ANYTHING LEFT >> Chris: NEXT UP IS ELIAS PETTERSSON.

>> David: FOUR GOALIES TO CHOOSE FROM, TWO ARE VEZINA, WHO ARE YOU GOING AGAINST? >> GOING JAKE OETTINGER >> David: WHY JAKE? >> AT DINNER LAST FIGHT AND FRIENDLY SHIRT >> David: GOOD LUCK. [ Laughter ] >> Chris: DOES THAT MEAN JAKE DIDN’T BUY?

>> Craig: OR HE HAD A FEW TOO MANY. THAT’S A GREAT REASON TO DO SO. DO YOU THINK DALLAS AND VANCOUVER ARE DESTINED FOR A GOOD PLAYOFF BATTLE THE WAY THEIR YEARS ARE GOING >> COULD WELL BE. PETTERSSON FOURTH IN THE COMPETITION WITH 10 POINTS.

OETTINGER 16-9-2 ON THE YEAR. NOT QUITE THE SEASON HE HAD A SEASON AGO. POST ROBBED PETTERSSON THAT TIME. >> Craig: YOU SEE ON THE SHORT RAMPWAY, OETTINGER HASN’T HAD TO MOVE MUCH. GOOD DOUBLE FAKE BY PETTERSSON TO FORCE THE FIVE-HOLE OPEN. >> Chris: PETTERSSON 27 GOALS ON

THE YEAR, JUST NAMED THE THIRD STAR IN JANUARY. 14 GOALS IN HIS LAST 13, BUT OETTINGER IS UP TO THE CHALLENGE. UNDER A MINUTE TO GO AND THE TWO-POINT PUCKS. THERE’S PETTERSSON TAKING ADVANTAGE UP TO THREE. OETTINGER OUT, WAITS HIM THATT TIME.

>> Craig: CAN HE GET TWO SHOTS IN HERE? CAN HE GET BACK TO THE BLUE LINE IN TIME TO GET ANOTHER PUCK BEFORE — HE’LL GET THIS ONE. >> Chris: THIS WILL BE THE LAST ONE FOR ELIAS PETTERSSON. AND CAN’T BEAT OETTINGER. HE WILLL FINISH WITH THREE, WE’L

GO BACK TO ICE LEVEL WITH KEVIN. >> Kevin: HERE WITH J.T. MILLER. TALK ABOUT HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO REMAIN CREATIVE WITH SOME OF THESE MOVES. >> I KEPT THINKING MAKE HIM GO DOWN EVERY TIME IF I CAN, I GUESS, BUT I’M GASSED AFTER THAT.

MY LEGS ARE FRIED. [ Laughter ] >> Kevin: GET THROUGH THE FIRST ONES AND MAYBE HIT THE TWOS, EVEN THE ONES TOOK A WHILE. FIVE PUCKS. >> YEAH, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE YOU GET IN THE HABIT OF GOING THE SAME DIRECTION IN A LOOP AND I

TRIED TO CHANGE IT UP AND I CHANGED OVER AND MY LEGS WERE SEIZING. EVERYBODY IS FEELING IT RIGHT NOW. >> Kevin: ISLANDER FANS ARE WATCHING AND YOUR FAMILY BACK IN VANCOUVER AND THAT AREA. WHO ARE YOU PICKING? >> I’M GOING TO PICK MY NEW YORK COUNTERPART, IGOR SHESTERKIN.

>> Kevin: WOW, ALL NEW YORK BATTLE, IS THAT WAY? >> YEAH, A GOOD FRIEND OF SOROKIN, GOOD RIVALRY WE HAVE IN NEW YORK. >> Kevin: ALL RIGHT, NEW YORK, NEW YORK. >> Chris: CABOT — GOTTA LIKE THAT, NEW YORKER VERSUS NEW YORKER.

>> Craig: GEORGIEV THOUGHT IT WAS HIM. NO, NO, IT’S SHESTERKIN. THAT MEANS McDAVID GETS GEORGIEV AND HELLEBUYCK GETS MAKAR UNLESS IT’S TEAMMATE AGAINST TEAMMATE >> Craig: YOU NEVER KNOW. >> Chris: LET’S WORRY ABOUT BARZAL WHO IS TIED FOR SECOND WITH 11 POINTS, WORKING AGAINST

AN OLD RIVAL IN IGOR SHESTERKIN. LIKE OETTINGER, HASN’T HAD QUITE THE SAME YEAR AS IT WAS LAST SEASON, BUT THERE’S THE FIRST ONE FOR BARZAL. OH, AND ANOTHER. >> Craig: THAT WAS SLICK, WASN’T IT? YEAH, IT WAS THE QUICK TO THE FOREHAND AND GETTING IT UP.

AND TWO BACKHANDS, ONE THAT WENT IT AND ONE OFF THE POST >> Chris: THE TWO-POINT PUCKS NOW. AND SHESTERKIN DIGS IN. >> Craig: POKE CHECK ACTION THERE. >> Chris: BARZAL UP TO FOUR POINTS. GOT 20 SECONDS REMAINING. BEAUTY FOR MATHEW BARZAL. >> Craig: THE LEGS ARE BURNING

THERE, YOU CAN SEE HIM LABOURING TO GET BACK. HE CAN GET ONE MORE FOR SURE, MAYBE TWO IF HE CAN GET QUICKLY BACK THERE >> TIED FOR THIRD IN ONE-ON-ONE BUT SHESTERKIN SHUTS THE DOOR, AND THEY’RE GOING TO GIVE HIM THIS ONE MORE. ONE LAST SHOT!

OH DID IT GO IN? NO. OH, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHLIGHT REEL MATERIAL. >> Craig: AGAIN, JUST HUFFING AND PUFFING. BARZAL WHERE HE HAD SUCCESS IS JUST FREEZING SHESTERKIN, MAKE HIM, AS SOON AS HE MAKES THE MOVE DOWN, HE WENT FOREHAND

ONES, AND BACKHAND UP, THAT’S A HARD ONE TO REACT TO FOR A GOALTENDER IN SO TIGHT. THERE’S ONE THAT BACKING UP, SHESTERKIN EQUAL TO THE TASK. OFF THE POST AND OUT. >> Chris: SO HE IS TIED FOR THIRD. STILL TWO SHOOTERS, TWO GOALIES LEFT

>> David: WE HAVE CALE MAKAR AND CONNOR McDAVID AND THE DECISION IS MADE FOR YOU CALE BECAUSE YOU CAN’T TAKE YOUR GOALIE WHICH MEANS YOU’RE TAKING CONNOR HELLEBUYCK. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET YOU PAST WILLIAM NYLANDER. >> TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I DON’T KNOW.

I DON’T KNOW IF I HAVE A CHANCE HERE. SO GOING TO TRY TO PUT PUCKS IN THE BACK OF THE NET AND MAKE THE DEFENSE HAPPY >> David: CONNOR McDAVID WILL BE UP AGAINST ALEXANDAR GEORGIEV. >> Chris: ALL RIGHT. MAKAR WAS TIED WITH BARZAL WITH

11 POINTS EACH, AND HE DRAWS CONNOR HELLEBUYCK. HAVING ANOTHER BRILLIANT SEASON. TIED FOR THIRD WITH WINS WITH 23. SECOND IN GOALS AGAINST, AND TIED FOR FIRST IN SAVE PERCENTAGE. SO MAKAR HAS HIS HANDS YOU WILL AND HE PROBABLY DOESN’T GET MANY P BREAKAWAYS, ALTHOUGH MORE THAN MOST

>> Craig: THE WAY HE SKATES AND JOINS THE RUSH, HE GETS PLENTY OF LITTLE INTIGHT PLAYS. AND IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HIS SKATING. LOOK AT THE SPEED. QUICK RELEASE THERE, BEATS BLOCKER SIDE >> Chris: MAYBE MORE SHOTS —

THAT ONE GOT THROUGH SO HE HAS TWO. GOOD START FOR MAKAR. >> Craig: LET’S SEE HOW LONG HE CAN KEEP THIS PACE UP. NOW IT’S A LONG SKATE ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE BLUE LINE >> Chris: OVER A HALF MINUTE FOR THE TWO-POINT PUCKS.

AND HELLEBUYCK UP TO THE CHALLENGE. THESE ARE THE VALUABLE POINTS AND HE HAS ANOTHER. STUMBLED A LITTLE BIT BUT HE’S UP TO FOUR. >> Craig: THAT’S LIKE J.T. MILLER WAS SAYING ABOUT CHANGING YOUR ROUTE, YOU GO THE SAME WAIL THE WHOLE TIME AND THE GOALIE

GETS IN A RHYTHM, THAT TIME MAKAR CHANGED IT AND HE WAS ABLE TO BEAT HIM. >> Chris: BIG STOP BY HELLEBUYCK, MAKAR STUCK ON FOUR AND LIKELY HIS LAST PUCK AS HE TAKES A SCENIC ROUTE AND A GLOVE STOP HELLEBUYCK, HE HOLDS MAKAR TO JUST FOUR.

AND MAKAR FIFTH NOW WITH CONNOR McDAVID LEFT. SO CALE MAKAR ON THE BUBBLE TO GET POINTS HERE IN THE ONE-ON-ONE. >> Craig: YOU CAN SEE THE ONE THAT SLIPPED THROUGH, BUT AFTER THAT IT’S JUST HELLEBUYCK OUT SO AGGRESSIVELY. AFTER HE GOT BEAT UNDER THE

BLOCKER AND UNDER THE GLOVE. LOOK IT, TAKING AWAY THE LOWER PART AND CALMLY HAVING THAT GLOVE IN GREAT POSITION, AND HE SCOOPS THAT ONE UP, GIVES HIM A LITTLE SHOW. >> Chris: ALL RIGHT, ONE SHOOTER LEFT, ONE GOALTENDER. YOU MENTIONED VANCOUVER/DALLAS. DO YOU THINK YOU’LL SEE THIS

MATCHUP IN THE SPRING? >> Craig: CAN YOU SEE EDMONTON/COLORADO. I JUST THINK WITH McDAVID HERE, HE’S REALLY DEVELOPED SUCH AN ABILITY TO MAKE THE QUICK MOVES IN TIGHT. INSTEAD OF SHOOTING, HE DOES A LOT WHERE HE PULLS THE GOALTENDER AND DEKES AROUND HIM

>> Chris: WENT BACKHAND TO THE FOREHAND AND BEAT GEORGIEV. LOST THE HANDLE ON THAT. >> Craig: GOOD POKE CHECK THERE, THOUGH. >> C Chris: AND FANNED ON THAT, SENT IT WIDE. GEORGIEV LEADING THE LEAGUE IN WINS WITH 27. McDAVID THE LEADER IN THIS COMPETITION. GEORGIEV DIGGING IN.

AND ANOTHER GREAT POKE CHECK! JOHNNY BAUER STYLE FOR GEORGIEV. NOW THE TWO-POINT PUCKS AND McDAVID CASHES THE FIRST. UP TO THREE POINTS. >> Craig: STILL HAVE 25 SECONDS LEFT. THEY JUST — THE PACE THAT HE’S GOING AT, YOU CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE TWO-POINT PUCKS

>> Chris: MAY GET AN EXTRA SHOT IN HERE. BUT GEORGIEV UP TO THE CHALLENGE NOW. AND ANOTHER STOP. SO McDAVID ON THREE POINTS AND DOWN TO THE FINAL TEN SECONDS. AND THIS PERHAPS HIS LAST. SO THE FINAL SHOT FOR McDAVID NEEDS POINTS, AND GEORGIEV, TERRIFIC WITH THE STICK!

>> Craig: YOU TALK ABOUT A SCOUTING REPORT, AS GEORGIEV, I MENTIONED HOW OFTEN McDAVID IS SO EFFECTIVE AT COMING IN WITH SPEED AND GETTING THE GOALTENDER WITH THE DEKE. AND AFTER HE GOT BEAT ON THIS ONE UNDERNEATATH THE BLOCKER, WN McDAVID CAME IN, THERE WAS MANY

OF THESE. A GOOD JOB OF SLIDING ACROSS BUT ALSO THREE OR FOUR POKE CHECKS THAT AT LEAST HAD AN EFFECT ON McDAVID AND FORCED HIM TO TRY AND GO A DIFFERENT ROUTE. THAT WAS A WELL PLAYED GOALTENDERING BUT GEORGIEV. >> Chrisis: NINE STOPS FOR

GEORGIEV, AND HE WINS $100,000 AND KEVIN IS WITH THE WINNER. >> Kevin: YOU FEMENT YOU HAD THE ADVANTAGE BECAUSE YOU GOT TO GO FIRST. >> YEAH, I THINK THE BRAND NEW STICK I GOT TOGETHER, PROBABLY WHY >> Kevin: 75 FLEX AND A FUNKY CURVE.

WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THE STICK? >> I’VE BEEN USING IT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND STICKING WITH IT. I LOVE THE STICKS >> Kevin: EASY TO GO TO SHELDON KEEFE AND SAY DID YOU NOT SEE WHAT HAPPENED? I SHOULD BE GOING FIRST IN EVERY SHOOTOUT.

>> I HAVE BEEN MISSING >> Kevin: DO YOU THINK MITCHIE COULD DO BETTER? >> HE’S REALLY GOOD. HE’S BEEN SILKY ON THE SHOOTOUTS, PROBABLY. >> Kevin: TORONTO THIS IS THE
