[Music] it’s Austin Matthews world and we’re just living in it this weekend on this first Friday of February we welcome you to the 2024 NHL Allstar skills presented by DraftKings Sportsbook scoa Bank Arena here in Toronto man everywhere you look a superstar to be found and they’ll all
Be showing off their skills to the world tonight all the big boys are out there in a rather relaxed and fun atmosphere looking to put on a show you can’t walk a couple feet without bumping into an NHL icon like Nathan McKinnon as you welcome you upstairs I’m Steve Levy alongside Ray Ferraro
Welcome everyone to the continuing Allstar Weekend a year ago we’re on the beach outside a tiki bar the Elbow Room in South Florida other than it being colder there’s another difference it feels different here in Toronto this year uh it really does I mean let it’s the center of the
Hockey world here in Toronto and there’s the most media the most attention it comes to this place the fan lineups uh in the in The Fan Fest or you can’t believe how long they are it’s been a
Really amazing start to the weekend and least it’s about fun and this is fun it’s been great Ray you played 35 years in the NHL one Allstar appearance tell me about this what was going on here I’m in
The skills competition I scored on Tim Chev at Detroit four times a week earlier and I used the same move well apparently he had the book and he stopped one I mean I I think I get the last
One here I was terrified being in the allstar game actually I missed out you didn’t get the last one no you weren’t supposed to be watching but I was terrified being in the skills because
I wasn’t sure that I really felt like I belonged I like you try to do your best you don’t want to fall down you don’t want to embarrass yourself it was the best what was the date on that again okay
It was January 18th 199 he remembers the exact date in Philadelphia Emily Kaplan is with Will Arnette Emily yeah it is good will you’re here you’re wearing your leafes hat you’re with Conor McDavid and Leon dyle on your team what are you looking forward to and who are you rooting for
Tonight well it’s fun it’s fun being here with obviously Connor my my co- captain and Leon who’s my uh my assistant uh it’s good seeing my assistant doing well there’s my guy right there
Come on there’s Conor he’s just a killer and then uh this is so exciting I’m a fan right so I’m just here I just met when Clark for the first time in my life this is I am flying not like bé but
I’m like are we allowed to is that out there it’s out there it’s out there okay um no I’m just here I I’m literally giddy I just met Wendell Clark in an elevator not how I thought it was going
To happen but uh it’s just so cool being around all these players all these Elite hockey players it’s just I feel like I’m 9 years old it’s going to be awesome BCI back to you all right Emily I’m
Here with Mark Messier played in 15 All-Star games mess in had $1 million been on the line when you took part of the skills what would that have done what will it do for tonight it it would have been
Massive and of course a million dollars is a lot of money from where I came from but it’s not going to be as big as being able to have a chance to be crowned as the NHL’s most skilled player I
Think that’s going to Trump the million dollars in my opinion I think the competitive edges are going to come out and we can debate all we want about who’s the best skill but we’re going to find out tonight if you ain’t first you’re last tonight 1 million bucks to the winner we are
Live in Toronto Ontario Canada for the new and improved NHL skills competition here on ESPN new and improved format if you haven’t heard here’s what it’s all [Music] about get ready for an all new NHL Allstar skills challenge where at the end of the night we’ll Crown a single Champion here’s
How it works 12 Allstars will compete across the first six events earning points as they fly around the ice in fastest gator whip pucks on the net in one timers put it on the tape in the passing challenge smash Pucks in hardest SHOT show off crazy control in stick handling and nail Targets
In accuracy shooting the top eight will then take on our Allstar goalies in a one-on-one Showdown the top six skaters to get past the goalies will face the eighth and final ultimate skill challenge the obstacle course A Champion will be crowned and take home the $11 million prize
Alongside Mark Messier I’m John Butcher gross and these are the 12 dudes who will be competing for one million as Ricky Bobby said if you ain’t first you’re last there’s no second place prize here are the 12 dudes in the ESPN bet odds to win no surprise mess
Conor mcdavid’s the favorite well could you bet against him he’s obviously the most electrifying player in the National Hockey leag he has been for years now he’s the fastest skater he’s got the most Talent he’s got the most skill he’s got the best hands so to rule him from winning this I
Don’t think the uh odds makers in Vegas are that naive to think that he’s is obviously a favorite to win tonight and of course the NHL wanted to improve the skills competition after the last couple of years they went to Conor McDavid to get his input some of these competition
Tonight or drills he does in the summer like the stick handling drill well I think for me the interesting part is uh to see these 12 players the 12 best players or 12 of the best players in
The National Hockey League compete in this event to see who could be around the the League’s most skilled player and I think that alone is going to carry a lot of weight these guys are competitive anyways but they have the chance to carry that mantle around as a League’s most skilled player
I’m not going to say it’s going to Trump in the million dollars but I think it’s going to come close to trumping a million dollars there and I think it’s going to be exciting because of it competition number one is the fastest skater McDavid certainly the odds on favor to win that
He threee in this event between 2017 and 2019 the only person to ever win it back to back and so to get off to a good start start tonight and get those five points for first place here are the
Participants for the fast and all fastest skater and you see the odds to your right McDavid a huge favorite I think that McDavid if he enters into this and he really puts his heart into
It he puts everything he has into it I think he’s going to win this event I think his other players obviously they’re very fasf but he can carry the momentum in the corners better than anybody in the league and we’ve seen that over and over and over again of course we have data
For top speed and average speed of an NHL game William nander actually owns the lowest top speed of this Bunch so he’s a big Underdog and here he goes participant number one for the evening and participant number one in the fastest skater competition here he comes down the [Applause]
Stretch so William neander finishes his lap the clock for some reason didn’t stop so we’ll have to figure out where it was when he crossed the line so we we could have our first review of the night
We’re have our first review you can see when he’s coming around here it’s all about being able to carry the speed through the corners as you can see him going around there his legs given out a little
Bit or skates his edges given out that’s costing him time if you can carry the corners at full speed and come out of with actually faster than going into it h you got a chance to win this event
You can see right somewhere right there maybe that wasn’t the right one but one of the corners he kind of took a little bit of a stumble so we want to get an official time before Quinn Hughes
Goes so 14.16 4 the time to beat for now you can choose which direction you go mess which direction did you go back my left side going going to the left was always my better Side Y okay I think for most lefties it is cuz you carry your stick
To the inside so I think you’ll see most left-handers go uh go to the left captain of the Canucks Quinn Hughes American maid played college hockey at Michigan for the Wolverines I don’t know what they did to the Hughes boys there but all three of are amazing
Skaters see if he beats neander he does so he’s currently in first place I think we got to get to the high 12s low 13s to win this event in my opinion well we step it up now with Ma barzel
And McDavid they’re in a little bit different league but of course last year we saw marar fall in Florida well that’s the thing is it’s all in the corners this is going to win or lose it in
The in the terms so McDavid who is going to go last will now wait for a couple more skaters let’s not to underestimate how difficult it is for these players here with not a real proper warmup as well you think falling Downs on his mind right now after last year no absolutely
Not great players don’t think about things behind them he’ll be going left over right look at the power in that stride right there all right he makes sure he makes that first turn that is a strong stride little coasting on the corner as it’s going to cost him oh so jues hangs
On look how close that is kale marar is now in second [Applause] [Music] place five points for first four for second three for third 1,000th of a second Quinn Hughes hangs on so that that matters as you’re trying to accumulate points with each competition
Tonight and we’ll keep a running scoreboard for the folks at home and that’s the most exciting part about it is that everything matters every little point that you can get scrape out there could be the difference of winning and losing in the end Matthew Barelle 2020 champ he comes the
Closest to McDavid in both top speed and average speed categories during NHL games this year and you can see him on that first turn Flawless through the turn there a little hiccup there in that third corner there but the first oh that was easy yeah there we go easy peasy
Yeah so that’s the time McDavid has to beat so Quinn Hughes does slot down one but he’s guaranteed at worst third watch him take this first corner here never stops his feet moving there accelerates out of [Applause] it who little speed wobble there so Conor McDavid knows the time to beat that’s
Going to be a tough that’s going to be a tough score to beat got to watch Conor on these on the first uh first two turns here McDavid the odds on favorite he has reached the top speed
Of 2358 mph this season his average speed this is where he excels look at that that this just looks different look at his feet never stop moving never stop M looks different never stop moving well oh
There’s a winner winner chicken parm dinner the ability for him to hold the edges in the corners at top speed is what separates him from most of the players of the National Hockey League and
That was on full display right there he grew up in the Toronto area he did Nick a couple pylons mess but those things are light didn’t affect him at all didn’t affect him fourth win in this
Competition most all time he can uh like I said if he puts his if he puts his heart in to it and he really goes for it I don’t think there’s a faster scar in the National Hockey League and
This is why right here watching his feet through the corners but being able to hold the edge at top speed a lot of strength a lot of skill a lot of practice but Nobody Does it Better that’s going
To be a tough time to beat so there’s six primary events in round one the player picks which four he wants to go in so David poock and William nander who of course finished finished fifth in that Matthew barzel just gets nudged out but he’ll get four points yeah exactly after after competition
Number one yeah you just got to get get some accumulate some points coming down to the end every little bit you can scrap together is going to make a difference and again McDavid was looking forward to this new skills competition he said I think after last year everybody agreed a change
Was in order I think crowning just one skill Champion with a little bit of money 1 million bucks should make it a little more entertaining and a little more comp competitive hopefully he was clearly competitive there mes you when you when you just watch that that was 100% from every
Player that just competed in that event there’s not one person that mailed that in that that’s that just goes to show you what they’re what they’re competing for absolutely PK suban is with the fastest skater Conor McDavid all right ladies and gentlemen here with the fastest skater
In the world Conor McDavid and the best player Conor first of all tell me a little bit about t Toronto and what this means to you to be at the NHL allstar game in in your hometown it means a
Lot to me um you know obviously this my hometown this building means a lot to me grw up watching the leaves here um special to be here in front of friends and family great hockey Town um just
A great event and like I said happy to be here in my hometown you know you come out here you prove once again that you’re the fastest skater in the world how do you do it how do every year you come
Back and give these fans what they want to see you do it every game but every all start game you’re here you step up and you do it how do you do it uh you know what it’s been a while since I
Won a past a skater a couple years ago I didn’t even win an Edmonton so we got some good skaters in Edmonton I guess but you know it feels good to win obviously we’re all competitive out here competing having fun um yeah just happy thank thank you Conor thank you Conor McDavid fastest
Man alive the skills competition continues from Toronto a new competition in this year’s skills the onetime A Perfect Blend of patience power and precision tonight that’s all on display in the NHL onetime competition our Allstars will take three one-timers from each
Of three designated areas and points will be awarded based on where the puug enters the net sneaking in upstairs get four points score into those two triangles earn three points or put it right down the middle and get two if a puup ricochets off one of the dividers
They’ll tally one point but if the shot hits the bottom barrier a post or the crossbar or misses the net entirely they get nothing each player gets one minute to fire all nine shots
If a pass is not to their liking they can let it go but can only get five total passes at each location and if a stick breaks the clock will stop most points win the challenge let it rip passers for this event the first overall pick
Of the 2023 NHL entry draft number 98 for the Chicago Blackhawks Conor Bard and playing in his six NHL allstar game the captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins Sydney Crosby so it’s the one-time competition these are the players who chose to participate in this
Again these players will pick four of the first six competitions M I think the onetime or goal is the most exciting offensive play in hockey it’s explosive it happens out of nowhere and these dudes can all bring it they can all really shoot the puck there I I look at uh David poso
And Austin Matthews has been the two favorites in this uh competition they’re all great obviously but those two to me are natural goal scorers and we’ve seen it all year the way they can score in many different ways but their one-timers are some of the best May probably the two best in the
League and as you saw introduced Sydney Crosby will be one passer he’s left-handed and Connor Bard being right-hander will be a right-handed passer so Elias Patterson can really bring it so it’s you’re looking for obviously to score and there’s different score totals depending where you
Put it each player taking three one timers from each spot on the ice top of the circle now at the dot that’s a post that zero point then he’ll move to the bottom of the circle a maximum of five
Passes you can take a pitch you’re allowed to take a pitch like in the Home Run Derby and you can see Pon not really taking a full Slap Shot he’s more almost like a almost a snapshot but uh very
Little back swing and that’s prob for accuracy for more accuracy exactly so 20 points for pson and again this is not so much we the hardest shot competition later that’s more about obviously miles per hour this is about accuracy and point total just shooting off the pass it doesn’t have
To have a big wind up in order to get it off and this is to your point it’s all about the accuracy and getting into the top portion of that to collect as many points as you can so peton going
First he’s now on the lead so as you can see our live standings he’s projected with five points now those aren’t truly earned until the competition is done but McDavid got those five in the fastest get McDavid not in the one-timers pon poock Miller Matthews McKinnon coocher off dry setle barzel
So Bard passes to the righties Crosby passes to the Lefty so it’s Bard to Nathan McKinnon well McKinnon I’m sure is going to have a little bit of bigger wind up there and uh not so much
Actually they’re kind of slow passes here to help them gather and snap and go for a point obviously a pass with a little less Pace on is much easier to time and get a good good uh your
Good blade on or good wood in we used to say in the old days but you can see mcken there very accurate yeah that top blue bar is what you’re looking for and you can see he has picking it
Off picking off didn’t like that one again you can take a pass that’s really important for the passer to make sure that buck is coming to fight you can see it rolling a little bit which makes it a little bit hard but that’s he was so he takes the lead with 23 points
Bard and McKinnon don’t forget these players are looking for that top shelf all time cuz they know they got to shoot it over the goalie stick so when they’re practicing this onetime you know obviously in their practices they’re going for that underneath that crossbar all the
Time so Sydney Crosby returns to pass to the left-handed Leon dry Sidle hard to Discount Leon dry Sidle when I pick Matthews and Passa not because this is one of the best ones with with McDavid feeding in the passes all year long but we’ll see how he does he’s
Got one of the biggest blades in the in the league great shot there these guys will be Olympic teammates with that great an announcement today mass at the NHL going back to the Olympics in 26 and 30 and Conor Bard and Nathan McKinnon could be linemates one
Day you asking every one of those players do they want to play in Olympics they’ll say yes so I’m glad they agreed that they’re going to send the players and it’s a great opportunity for every one of them Leon dry side he’s probably the king as you mentioned of the
Power play onetime getting passes from McDavid mostly so 23 points from McKinnon the score to beat yeah he gets passes from McDavid all year long and I was get pass Crosby in this all sort of game pretty cool not too bad huh he only goes top shelf when he’s at the bar
Look at the big long stick he has there he’s got a good angle on this sure enough that’s pretty good so 22 points for dry Sidle that puts him in front of Pon but behind McKinnon yeah McKinnon was eating up that top shelf and that’s where the points are going to be
Made if you can get it up there you also risk going over the net but unbelievable Tru from that [Music] angle looks easy watching it at home BCI but when you get down on the ice with everybody watching the nerves are there it’s not as easy as it looks what a year for
Nikita COV being Lefty once again he’ll take the passes from Crosby one of my favorite players in National Hockey League to watch his offensive Acumen is incredible that’s what we want back scratchers that’s a true onetime yeah he’s not letting it oh there he goes he I think that’s
What the NHL envisioned with this it’s really they didn’t expect a onetime to be a bunch of snapshots two-pointer there got to get those blue ribbons that’s what McKinnon did so well a career year for Nikita COV 32 goals 53 assists 85 points in 49 games he’ll take that pass from Crosby
Oh Coo’s got to pick it up here yep so a disappointing 17 for Nikita kucherov oh looks like it’s going to be 19 so McKinnon holds on to his lead he’s gun him for that Five Points that’s what happened
There he hit that crossbar top there didn’t get anything out of it that’s right cross barss are zero that was unfortunate so you see the shooters who remain as McKinnon looks on if there’s a tie then they’ll split the points so they’ll be four and 1 half and four and a
Half if someone happens to tie M kinon at 23 JT Miller what a year he’s having in Vancouver the Canucks just got Elias lyol PK suban sit on the point he’s their team to come out of the
West of course the West is loaded that was a massive pick up for a Vancouver L tremendous hockey player plays a 200 foot game can play in any situation good in face good in the power play
Now they got a right hand drive on that power play already that’s been so a dynamic JT Miller born in East Palestine Ohio and he could be a little bit of a sleeper in this competion
Wow there’s a four- pointer mess from top of the circle yeah he’s shooting with a lot of velocity too very accurate shooter always with a high shooting percentage doesn’t have to have volume
To get his goals well he’s a big strong kid and I’ll tell you what he’s got a lot of skill that it’s on display the last couple years in Vancouver and I got to know him a little bit when he was
With the Rangers good kid plays hard plays with a lot of [Applause] power so JT Miller with 18 yeah he missed a net a couple on the high it cost you he doesn’t doesn’t do that in the game no he
Doesn’t and now you hear the crowd come to their feet the greatest goal scorer currently on the planet is a kid from Scottsdale Arizona on Pace for 70 goals this year am amazing and it wouldn’t
Surprise me if he does it to do it but the power and the skill that he plays with is unmatched in the National Lo league and he is definitely the League’s best goal scorer right now 26 years old
Grew up in the desert went to a Phoenix Coyotes game and saw Alex gokin score that amazing goal on former colleague Brian bue and he was hooked I want to play hockey dad and here he is now amazing
Sacrifice by his mom and dad in order to get him to where he needed to go to play and look at the results that we’re seeing now 40 goals already this year again on Pace for 70 he needs some
Blue ribbons to start dancing here in Toronto to match his sweater went over and gave Sydney Crosby a high five before the competition began yeah looks like he’s going to fall a little short absolutely there is a time limit but when the NHL
Kind of went through their experiments no one really came close just goes to show you what I know all my favorite isn’t currently in last place yes he is our Emily Kaplan part of our coverage she’s down on the ice with Tom Wilson Emily Tom you
Got to be a spectator tonight what are you looking forward to most uh it’s it’s great hanging with the guys uh we got a front row seat here so uh it seems like a really fun event and
Just hanging out with the guys have a couple beers we got the night off so watch the guys uh go Toe to Toe who do you think going to win this all I honestly I was talking to a few people
About that there’s so many so many great players out there it’s uh I don’t know it might have to take a couple side Wagers here and take a horse but I think Connor’s probably the favorite but
There could be some sleepers well if you wanted to give $1 million to one of these guys who would you give it to if I wanted to give a million dollar to someone oh I don’t know that’s a tough one I
Guess Nate maybe cuz he picked me last night in the draft so we’ll go with that awesome thanks Tom and Jo few be thanks a lot I think he’s already had a couple uh barzel out there now from Conor
Bard righty to righty thought coming in M that Matthew would be one of these guys who would really want to try to win this title oh I think every one of them wants to win obviously
But being at home in front of his home fans and all that look at this is a lofty title to be named the NHL’s most skilled player there’s not a player in the league that wouldn’t want that title just 13 goals for Matthew this year course those Islander fans are always screaming
Shoot when he has the puck he loves to set up his teammates and that cameraman almost took that one off the teeth right there you better get out of that corner I think he took it off the ankle ouch so Matthew Barelle 16 points one better than Austin Matthews keeps
Austin in the seller and to your point even if you don’t win these events you still get points by being second and third there so every shot counts got a hit the net though so our final participant is going to be David poock 61 goals last year 33 goals this
Year a one-time machine on the Bruins power play got 11 Power Play Goals this year so he knows what he must do 23 points to get the full Five Points oh that hits the post shot number one two points
There you go there’s the one he needed yeah he’ll take his time I think this is smart you can see the the timing he has on his shots not only velocity but just perfect perfect positioning adjust to the puck there so when it’s coming to him he’s hitting right between his legs big
Four-pointer there he’s got a chance three more pucks he can take it hard to get it up from this angle yeah 18 he’s got a shot mess that’s 21 here he knows he needs this one he got [Applause] it
24 he gets McKinnon by a point well I was I was batting 500 one for two David poock one of the League’s best Shooters shows off his skill right [Applause] there clutch at the end from the
Bad angle there he got him up high and so he gets the full Five Points here’s the big clutch shots Mass late yeah this this is the toughest angle to get it on fire too not only to get from the angle
But also CU you don’t have a lot of room they’re pretty close to the net from there but he managed on a one timer to get him up on one the event because of it so Sydney Crosby and Connor Bard
Has the two passers for us PK you guys ready I got Conor badar down here Sydney Crosby okay Sid this is your 10th All-Star game you know you see a guy like this on the other side a guy that’s
Just starting his career wants to be exactly like Sydney Crosby in every facet of it what’s some advice that you can give him being at his first All-Star game all in I think uh great opportunity
To see the guys um you know meet guys see familiar faces after you’ve been there a couple times and uh just enjoy this this weekend with the fans and uh with all the players amazing Connor I’m sure
It’s got to be like uh Christmas morning for you seeing Sydney and all these guys what’s it like being on the ice with all of these professionals these guys that have done it at such a high level
For such a long time you’re here now you’re on the biggest stage for hockey how does it feel to be around these guys yeah it’s great I mean I think just growing up watching them and um you
Know obviously Sid and all these guys looked up to but uh in the end everyone’s you know human being and it’s good to just get to know guys and uh kind of build those relationships and and maybe learn a
Little bit so it’s fun well we got the future and the present here now we take over yeah I got it I’m here with David Pano out of Boston beown the North End pasta what was your strategy in that
Round uh honestly the first three uh I was trying to take it easy it was kind of far it looks way far than uh in a game but after the first shot I kind of blacked out so I I honestly didn’t even
Know how many points I had until I came back so well you had a lot ah thanks I honestly uh just blacked out you know try to shoot and get in the zone great job man keep up the best BCI back
Up to you yeah David poso and Conor McDavid in a good position we have breaking news they took two points away from David Pasto maybe they just got the wrong point total by sight and upon further
Review it belongs to Nathan McKinnon now pasta still gets three and a half because he was tied with dry cidal so there’s the current standings two events down four to go will eliminate two after six events the next competition is the passing challenge here’s how it works
Our Allstars can do a lot more than just skate and score they too shall pass as it’s time for the NHL passing challenge players will have 45 seconds to skate up and down the ice while taking aim at clusters of targets set up along the boards the smaller the target
The more points it’s worth with chances to earn one two or three points with each pass after firing five passes as they travel from crease to crease six more PS will be waiting three in each end the player whose passes earned the most points takes our top
Spot so this is the most popular event of the evening the passing challenge returns after a 4year absence there’s David Pasto he’s not in this competition talking to William neander who is in this competition and as you can you see Nathan McKinnon now with five points at plus
750 on our ESPN bet odds couple guys from Nova scoa they’ll be teammates mess in the All-Star game tomorrow yep not a bad Duo right there Crosby was McKinnon’s first draft pick last night in the players draft he grew up watching Sydney Crosby and emulated a lot of his allight
Work ethic and brought that to the rink each and every day and one of the hardest working players in the game as we know and the results are because of it his results are because of it you so righties will go first in the NHL All-Star passing challenge attempting 11 passes all
On the forehand a possible 33 points so Nathan McKinnon Banks five after we eliminate two all these points still matter all the way through the end of the night so every competition every rep matters we don’t erase and start over at any point and McKinnon’s probably he’s he’s still a
Little confused that probably happened right right the skills competition do I have this right you want to make sure you have it right there’s a lot at stake here you don’t want to be out there going through the wrong drill or the wrong target so they’re really explaining
To him now so make sure he’s fully aware of what he’s supposed to be doing and this is a uh this is a highly skilled uh event right here for every one of these players a mckin
Have a monster year passing the puck this year he’s got 53 assists and here he goes [Applause] passing on the move another two-pointer there two nothing on that [Applause] one he’s got to get he wasn’t sure what
To do there now he’s to pass all the way across the ice misses again so here we go got to hurry up now clock is winding down he’s not going to get think oh he’s got to go
Rapid fire here he’s going to get the buzzer boom I don’t think that last one’s going to count he didn’t have one on a stick controversy so for now 13 points for Nathan McKinnon again a possible 33 what he was at a little bit of a disadvantage going first here because he didn’t
Look like he knew exactly what was supposed to be going on looked a little unsure of the uh the sequence so again William neander also what do I go first I’m sure the NHL sent these guys an
Email with what to do and a video example my guess they didn’t open it you got put on the bottom of the barrel so William nander goes he was in the fastest skater competition he accumulated one point for that Austin Matthews is the only guy hasn’t got a point get of course
It’s early one it’s a two-point from nander he’s flying another two so he you can see he realized after the buzzer went off I got to pick up the pace a little bit here get to my
Next Puck there we go solid contact he looks a little more sure what he’s up to now now he’s to go all the way over with these this probably will be the difference the guy who you know gets
Three in a row here yep on the long one now he’s going to get on his horse to beat the clock and he will lot of time he can take his time obviously the smaller the target the more points so neander finishing with 16 points that edges McKinnon
By three he’s the current leader as you can see nine more guys to go so you’re right mckinon was kind of the guinea pig wasn’t he going first I think no one knew really what to do I think the players have a much better understanding
Of the pace they need to do it with now to get their all the shots all the passes in and I think they know exactly the route that they have to take so k m it’s a big Advantage car up next I think these players are better when they do it
A game speed they’re used to doing at a game speed instead of kind of taking a little bit of a l Fair attempt at it the quicker they play that’s what their more natural instinct is caros control there gets it back he went for the big Target there missed
There we got that one got that one got that one he’s won a rookie of the year a Norris a Smite a Stanley Cup a Hobie baker man what a start kale Mark Carr is going he’s going
For the big one ohes hockey player 14 points H needs to beat neander 16 nice one nice one we got a new leader oh three that’s big well done all the way up to 23 points neander with
The hockey clap kale Mar is our new leader that was impressive down the stretch did he get points for that that looked like it just gra the edge I know I was like I’m looking like where
Matthew barzel is up next this guy loves the pass certainly he’ll be one of the favorites in this competition I like Leon Dr settled in this competition as well mhm one of the best passers of now National Hockey League so here comes barzel oh miss that swinging a Miss on pass number one
Slower Pace here go he went for the big one and nailed it and I think he went outside does he have to stay inside the uh [Music] goes so now three long passes only at nine points he’s got to get
Some big numbers here misses that one I don’t want to be a stickler on the rules guci but is he going outside the Middle Lane there that he supposed to stay in’s a little he made the pass a little
Shorter that little orange scrip down the middle of the ice I think he was venturing out of that he needs big numbers here he misses it yes last one got it so not bad 21 points in second place two
Behind ma barzal got four in the pass a skater oh wait you’re getting a little close to the Target though trying to get a GPS for this competition M we need to Old School Direction they brought the paper take a ride to the second light find the Denny’s make the legal U-turn exactly
I don’t know I don’t think they did enough preparation before this one this seems to be a little confusing for the players but they’ve had enough opportunity now to watch what needs to be done I think we can put the paper away now all I think so so JT Miller disappointing one
Timer competition a half a point he’s our first Lefty to go starting at the other end obviously lefties we mentioned righties go first the rest will be left-handed they’ll start the other end cuz they don’t want to move the targets just keep in the same spot nice solid two-point start for
Miller misses that [Applause] one misses that one picks up the puck of the blue line good one there I have to say you got to take into account the nerves for these guys that are you know not used to being in these skills competition at this level and seems to be a
Little nervous to me yeah he’s uh going for the small Target missed all three only at Five Points here with there is a little pressure down there you know you don’t you wouldn’t think about it but I remember doing the accuracy shooting there going out and I can feel my
Legs a little bit little little tremble little little nervous absolutely [Music] absolutely so JT Miller you sure voted in by the fans seven points JT was just a little nervous uh you could tell little hesitant up next Nikita kucherov we talked about his monster season even better than
His MVP season an absolute future Hall of cam what a career he’s building John Cooper Raves about his commitment so last year his season ends and they lose to the Maple Leafs took about a week off rented a rank in Tampa and was on the ice every day yeah practicing and
It’s showing this year he’s really kind of got a good opportunity to rest because it didn’t go deep into the playoffs but for me one of the for me one of the I’m not sensing a lot of intensity
Here m not quite not quite enough intensity whatsoever here but I love the way he plays the game he might he might have got into Tom Wilson’s cooler four points for COV this uh this is not a
Good look quite frankly and the fans are booing them and that’s what happens when you don’t try your best and you’re in a hockey City like Toronto they’re going to let you know yeah that Fan’s not too pleased with [Applause] it not a great look for Nikita coer off there
He’s uh just a five-point effort not sure what was going through that mind wasn’t really into it from the start well that’s his first event that kind of takes him out of the running for the million dollars I would have to think yeah he can’t afford a zilch right and uh now Quinn
Hughes you can’t go through an event and not get any points in order to expect to win this it’s amazed how this young fella mes continues to just improve on his game he’s a legit NH shelle Superstar legit Norris Trophy candidate captain of the Vancouver conuts well got thrust into a
Leadership role as Captain of Vancouver conects and is not baded ey his play has not diminished because of it the weight of the captaincy has not hurt him he’s played unbelievable in fact he’s probably playing some of the best hockey of his career and sometimes you know the pressure
Of being a captain trying to do too much there can weigh on a player but it hasn’t affected him one bit nobody loves hockey like the Hughes Brothers man Mom and Dad are here for the
Week like the Hugh Brothers but you’re right you get one son go to the NHL two three and they’re all superstars and they’re all superstars they’re all amazing skaters there would it be unbelievable all three of them on the team Canada unreal right Team USA team us team yeah
Watch your mouth Team USA would that be amazing or they’ll all be there I mean they’re they’re that good and quinnon going to try to finish up strong with a two can’t quite get it so he’s at 15 caror McDavid on deck US wouldn’t borrow wouldn’t borrow the Hughes Brothers to the
Canada for this trade we we’ll trade you two Hugh Brothers for McDavid so Conor McDavid who won the fastest skater competition with five points did not take part in the one- timer I expect uh I expect him to do very well in this competition right here 23
Points is the number to beat kale Mar there are live standings he’ll start off with a solid two want to get some early see if he goes for two here oh he went for little one he got it up to
Five Points see where he goes here goes little again didn’t get it D got that one he did miss that he’s going big see if he goes big across the ice no no he missed the middle one now he gets the
Middle one so here comes McDavid he’ll arrive in time to get all three of these off he’s only got 10 better hit the big numbers misses it missed the two oh H David only 10 I did not see that
Coming BCI oh good news for Nathan McKinnon he didn’t want to get McDavid out too far in front of him started out so good started off so good you hear what I’m saying but it did not end well
Emily Kaplan with Brady kachuck the allstar yeah and Brady you got two friends here we got Kesler whose Grandpa was your dad’s equipment manager and Maverick whose dad is Rick uh taket the coach of the kuu so tell me about these kids why you enjoying it with them yeah well we know you
Know got a history and kler and and you know the Wilson family you know Shelly Stan’s wife was my babysitter growing up and and of course M with uh you know talk talk and uh you know of course
My dad playing together so it’s a lot of great memories and and kind of go back to memory Lane you keep watching Big Walter cross mod how do you think he’s enjoying this oh he’s loving it he’s
Having a great time and uh know we had a great time last night be able to you know share this together and of course tonight tomorrow awesome thanks Brady fell us yeah we talk about the Hughes as one of those great American Hockey families put like a Chucks right there Keith should be
In the hall of fame most career goals by a guy who isn’t in the Hall of Fame Matthew and Brady full-fledged Superstars themselves Elias patteron now nine points see what he does across the ice
Goes for the big boy now he’ll go middle to get some points he’ll go so he Ops to go two of the middle ones M make sure I keep accumula up to 16 yeah you just got to get points you can’t
Get a puck here especially at this point of the compe or the event there and not get any points oh that was a good shot there better har very good oh stumble fumble oh nice we have a new leader you
Got to finish strong in this competition got to finish strong those last six shots are key that was impressive from Pon what a year he’s having in Vancouver he be paid handsomely for it went for the little guy yeah and I tell you what there something on the ice there you took
A little stumble there ice is slippery little sniper nice and slippery in the 25-year old swed 27 goals this year after 39 last year that little stumble is going to hurt MC David in the overall now I think could we’ll see so Austin Matthews failed to get a point in the one-timer
Competition now he’ll try the passing challenge to accumulate some points he’s got some room his teammate William neander at 16 then the big boys three of them over 20 barzal marar and Pon Here Comes Matthews here where he starts he goes for the big boy and gets it that’s a three-pointer big
Targets one the medium two the little three and he’s two for two with the three-pointer he when I watch him play it looks like he was born with a puck on his stick it is he looks so comfortable
Out there and it’s it’s just oh four for four with the little Target already up to 12 missed that one missed that one another the long pass to cross see if he trying to get some going to have
To hurry a little bit here oh that hurt thought he there get the two I thought he might go two twos there he’s got to hurry a little up to 14 should get all three off see if he can pass at least pass
His teammate there’s a two he’s up to 16 bam so he jumps all the way up to 19 he’s able to pass Hughes and McKinnon and nander so he’s going to get these guaranteed points with only
One passer remaining hson Ma marzelle and Matthews the current top four as you see right there five points for first four for second three for third two for fourth and one for fifth I think Leon Dr
For me is one of the best passers of national hoey league it’s hard to say if as a great goal scorer he is but Absolut his passing is backhand forehand elevated anywhere you can put the puck
Anywhere he wants see how he does here we’re going to review Elias Patterson’s last shot we’re not sure so we have to hold off the standings nothing on that first one from trial this misses the three there it’ss that
Three-pointer nothing there got that one now he’s got to get hot he got to get hot bam three-pointer oh boy not going to do it no certainly looking good for Pon or marar like I said they’re reviewing Pon fam there’s a three just missed that one just missed that
One so disappointing 12 for Le on dry side all yeah he W he was definitely disappointed with that can see it look in his face there he he was looking for better results yeah well just think McDavid and dry Shadow combin for 22 who would have who would
Have ever that would have been third place if you combin the two of them yeah so we want to make sure this is official to make sure Elias Patterson is your five-point winner [Music] on So currently Matthew barzel is tied to the top of the standage with seven he’s with Kevin
Weeks thanks so much appreciate that there bchi up top in mess here with Matthew barzel the young dazzling New York Islander take us through the strategy how was it it was fun uh I missed my
First one got got a little nervous I was like oh God so I turned it up and it’s uh came out with a decent run this looks tougher than it actually people might give it credit for it
Oh people don’t understand like we could hit the one all day but I mean that three is like that’s it’s pretty small target shooting cross ice so uh yeah I mean I I’d love to
See the average folk get out here and try it mes made the point that this is even harder because you’re not doing it necessarily at game speed especially you you’re always playing at with the afterburners on so well I think actually uh if the targets were moving it might be a little
Easier cuz guys are in motion you know during a game so it’s actually a little tougher when it’s standing still like that and we’re moving so kind of like a weird deception thing so I liked
It to be honest with it was fun sweet thanks so much appreciate it back up to you Bui all right six primary events so we’re halfway through three competitions remain they’re still trying to find out if Elias Pon beat the clock on his last shot oh NHL Allstar Weekend begins first player chosen
COV we’re going to have to go as Sydney Crosby I think you do we got David pass that oh yeah get over here that’s a of Toronto we didn’t want to make him sweat too much we had to get him on our
Team when it comes to picking hockey teams don’t ask the actor I thought I was in Blades of Glory for most of the time that I was out there then I realized holy I’m at the NHL allstar
Game all right so Elias patteron looks like he’s going to get the full five you’re supposed to have the puck on your stick before it hits zero you’re allowed to finish the play mes but did he touch this last Puck before the clock ran I believe he did but this little uh trip
This little hiccup right there almost cost him but I think he did get the puck on his stick but by the time the clock turned to zero so Fi we’re not going to be sticklers for the clock
That are we or not there’s a million dollars on the line M1 millionar hardest shot competition is next you see the current standing seven points a piece for Pon and barzal the rules for hardest shot slapshot not just one of the best hockey movies of all time but the centerpiece of our
Next competition the NHL hardest shot our Allstars get two chances to fire the puck Place 30 ft from the goal line as hard as they can they can skate in from the nearest Blue Line to gain momentum and the shot must be on goal to be calculated if a stick breaks or radar
Malfunctions another attempt will be awarded the hardest shot of the night earns the most points so simple pretty simple did you ever do the hardest shot oh you kidding I I I couldn’t have broken a pain of glass with my shot first of all I never took a slap shot that wooden Northland
What was your brand of stick with a wooden stick back in the day Louisville you were a Louisville guy well I first started with sherid but then I then I used Louisville forever ni shs are the old
Feather light they broke like kindling though that was a problem and used to get penalties because they would break there I couldn’t believe the referees were giving me penalty for cross check in my stickle break Bo all right so hardest shot as you can see here the we have eight participants
Elias P’s a big favorite here M defending Champion the only player in the competition tonight who’s won before and he’s really one of the fewer guys in the league who still uses the slap shot a lot
He kind of a Dying shot in the league and you wouldn’t think that he could shoot the puck as hard because he doesn’t look all that bulky but he obviously he’s got tremendous power and his timing
It’s all about the timing right in this event a lot of the power comes from your legs course we no longer use the gun we use the uh obviously the tracking the puck now exactly so here’s Austin
Matthews and again he’s not really a slap shot guy per se as well well he shoots him pretty good off the one time on a slap shot but but the hardest shot we’ve seen from him all season is 991.43 in
A game well behind some of the big guns I think the average fan would probably be surprised by that he uses angles and he pulls the puck in and positioning accur and positioning and knowing
That goalie awareness when you’re when you’re a g that oh there he goes again 96 he got behind that one game average that’s very good again top speed for him all year in a game is 991.43 he goes all
The way up to 9622 don’t forget there this is a lot stick related a lot of these guys don’t have really stiff sticks they use a lot of Whi in their stick so they can get it off quicker without
Is much power but in this competition you could get you could get your manufacturer like bow to give you a little stiffer stick to get more on we we should get PK and and we down there’re asking
If these guys change their Flex now M can bring it oh boy he’s not very he’s not very far behind Pon for top speed and highest average oh that’s going to be hard to beat 17 shots this year during
Games with at least 90 mil hour that’s the most of anybody being a defenseman he’s going to have more Slap Shot opportunities every time I see him he looks like he’s getting bigger and stronger oh yeah so 102 56 a nice lead as Matthews Falls to
Second David poast again more of a skilled shooter like Austin Matthews how much power can you know have when I talk about goalie awareness is about when you when the pugs com to you you see where the goalie is moving from and you’re shooting a back against the
Grain or into corners and sometimes it’s not how hard you shoot as go where you shoot it again we have to start talking about the line as the competitions go on was pasta 9328 again
Not quite the same power of a pson and my car but that’s what I’m saying that he could have just as much power but the stick the shaft on the stick is a different release point so
That has a big factor in this competition I would be curious if any of these guys try to stiff reflex for this yeah that was you could tell he got that one more purely and it was 9527 you like going in a long drive contest instead of using your regular size Shaft or
Length shaft there you get another 3 or 4 Ines on it there as long as you can square it up it’s going to give you a lot more momentum on the swing so so ma holds on to his lead comfortably you see live standings if he could take this competition he’d be
Up to 11 again you want to make sure you make the cup but also accumulation of these points to get that $1 million prize Miller’s got a bomb Miller is a big strong kid [Music] mhm
I’ll tell you one or two that’s he’s 1800th of a second behind see if he can top that and get in front of K Mar we’ll have one more chance to do it Miller oh didn’t get that
One but a good effort from JT Miller currently in second to kale marar as Elias Patterson we mentioned this is the clear favorite highest Top Shot speed of anybody in the group during games this season defending Champion see if he can top 102.5 6 you think he can reach 103 misses he did
Last time as defending champ 103.2 we’ll see I you know it’s in him yeah I know we’ve seen him do it before so it would be surprised bam no didn’t get that one one more shot it’s interesting this harder shot you got to hit the ice behind the puck in order to load
That shaft okay and if you miss at it and don’t time it properly you’re not going to get the velocity as we saw there the 98 is not what he normally would shoot this Puck at this
One will be better that was his first shot in this competition under 100 in his young career bam he didn’t get that either you could tell just you know sometimes you shank him right M time for
Him that’s a shank for you and I be shanking a little more than the he is currently in third with three Shooters to go all right our current leader K Mar yeah he knew right away he he didn’t
Time up he’s your winner so just five were in this competition kale Mar takes the over all lead PK suban yeah guys kale Mar here kale are you surprised or did you expect to win this event oh
I didn’t expect to win it I some of the boys told me I should go in it so figured I’d never take a running started a puck before so I might as well try it rumor has it that you changed the flex on
Your stick were you doing any uh fixing with the stick before the event nothing before the event I got a pretty stiff stick so I think that gives me a little Advantage so and last question
You’re so you’re such a great skater you do it all like how are you so good everybody wants to know how are you such a great hockey player this early in your career oh that’s a loaded question
I’m not good enough to beat McDavid today though so um yeah I don’t know about that we’ll take that win and we’ll move on well not too many are good job K Mar hardest shot in the world right [Applause] now yeah he can bring in he should have been confident going into
That competition the the NHL tracking info data has showed us that so Mar is your winner Miller Pon Matthews three poock and there are the live standings Mar has a one-point lead over Patterson as we prepare for competition number five of six in round one so a cut line is coming two
Fells are going to go home with two competitions left Canada a fact eh with Will Arnette Maple Leaf Gardens home of 11 times Stanley Cup champions and the first NHL allstar game is now a grocery
Store Center ice is on aisle 25 by the tuna the only leaves here are Iceberg and [Music] kale Irv there’s a cleanup in aisle 25 as we welcome you back to Toronto the All-Star skills competition here’s your updated standings look it wouldn’t be a shock of any of these guys finished up top
Little surprised about Nikita kucherov at the bottom there but right now marar pon barzal have the top three spots locked up and we got lots more coming straight ahead we are through four events and still have four events to go we got the stick handling then we got the uh Cheetos
Accuracy shooting can a brother get a goalie yes and the players should be able to choose the goenda Obstacle of course two more events then four players will get cut and we’ll move on win or take all for 1 million big ones here’s Ray Ferraro I’m Steve Levy so my takeaway is if
You’re an alien and you just landed down here in the planet you say that kic David is’s a terrible passer okay that passing that passing challenge was complicated and very diff difficult I thought well I’ve been in the skills thing I’ve done the the puck handling one and you got to follow
Along it makes it so hard and I thought it was pretty interesting some guys passed it really slow that didn’t seem to work some guys passed it really hard that sort of kind of work but that the
Passing one for me was the most fun I I really lik that barzel made an interesting point he said if if you’re used to passing to a moving Target yeah that a stationary Target and it’s
Really small right the targets and that was other takeway it it looks harder than it actually is cuz you’re watching at home my buddies are texting me how how can you miss it I’m telling you that three-point Target is Tiny because it it’s not you’re moving at a certain Pace the target’s
Getting smaller as you move it it’s hard man time now for stick handling this won’t be easy here are the rules the shortest distance between two points is typically a straight line but tonight our allar
Stars will show off their silky stick work as they Zig and zag in the upper deck NHL stick handling competition each player will take a turn down the ice controlling the puck around objects in their way while going forwards and backwards as they approach the goal they’ll have to show
Off some tow drag swag firing a puck on net to stop the clock fastest time takes home the most points John Butcher Goos Mark Messier back with you nine players will participate in the stick handling competition so there is a backward skating aspect to this mess and we just have
The one defenseman you got think that’s got to be an advantage for Quinn Hughes no doubt it’s an advantage for Quinn Hughes but all these guys are going to be able to handle that not a problem but obviously Quinn Hugh is practicing and doing that much more than the fors during
The game obviously practicing it much more but we’ll see he’s a he’s a dynamic skater hockey player and uh these guys have done this drill many many times in their career now that wide trip through the lighted targets now here he goes this is where his backwards
Get he maybe can help him you have to keep control the puck you can’t toss it around the target there it is beautiful transition you have to finish with the puck in the net oh yeah all right excellent we just don’t know for sure until we see players go what’s a good
Score yeah but he got he didn’t lose the puck he was clean through it yep so Quinn Hughes just over 29 seconds eight participants to go here’s the initial yeah look at the edging and this is one of the competitions this is a good beautiful little kind of a
Tow grab maneuver to finish and you have to finish caror McDavid a lot of his summer work is doing this drill right here so this could be an advantage for him because this is what he trains on this is one of his suggestions to the NHL when the two
Sides got together to try to make this skills competition a little better for the fans create some drama some nervousness maybe for the players cuz they’re playing for 1 million bucks no one does this better than look look at the speed he does it
With now he’s going to wheel quickly oh little stumble on the edge there you see the you can see the transition is not quite as smooth as as as a defenseman right but still not too bad K Mar
Would do this one as well try he’s he’s going to beat Hughes oh my goodness [Applause] unbelievable the acceleration is just insane he is clearly taking this seriously oh he does everything he wants to win this I more than anybody out there I believe there’s a little stumble on the left skate
[Applause] there and then just make sure you get the job done there and finish so now Hillway Elias Patterson he’s currently in second place overall with 10 points so he’s certainly among those a favored to win it as each competition comes gets harder
And harder now points will be doubled later so you can come from behind if a leader stumbles and you win an event here comes P wants to be clean initially and then here we come down Runway number five yeah that’s Beau Long Reach can help now you got to show some acceleration
Mess and he does get get to the turn nicely very good oh and that’s pretty much do it for him that hurt re-engage the target oh he’s got to be disappointed he would have had an outstanding timeing chance at it two still wants to finish strong cuz you never never
Know he could finish Fifth and get a point and one point could be the difference for $1 million in I do not believe he’ll get any points out of this which is going to really hurt his chances but who knows as you say just barely over Hughes but yeah he was cooking
Good that’s too bad yeah see it just that just gave R out on yep lost the edge side of the boot oh he’s got to be disappointed all right here’s our boy Nikita let’s see let’s let’s focus on the int let’s go buddy let’s go 25755 the time to beat
Okay clean through there here we go now we got a Sprint here Nikita this is a oh he’s going to finish where he will left off there we go [Applause] not quite the McDavid intensity he’s hearing it from the fans again this is what the
NHL wanted to avoid when they offered $1 million to to the winner but you know the keeto makes 9.5 a year and there’s a nice little wave to the crowd clearly not his [Applause] Jam I don’t think mcdavid’s real happy about
It either so con McDavid Remains The Leader teammate Leon dry Sidle will be next I don’t know if uh Dr title’s blad’s going to fit between the pucks here on this he’s got some
Big boots and a big bow or look at that thing yeah he definitely got the biggest blade in the league accuracy shoot shooting will be uh the sixth and final competition of round one then four players
Will be let go to become Spectators or to join Tom Wilson see how the big Leon can backwards get a couple stries look like he I don’t if he really let’s see that was better he not going to
Catch McDavid okay he puts it in but but clearly Hughes got through the backward skating seemed to be much Clear cleaner than the uh than the forward no doubt about it second place for Leon dry sadle
Behind his teammate just in front of Quinn Hughes who remains in third you can just see the speed that McDavid plays with it and not only the speed that he plays with but but under control with the
With the skill that’s a good transition there he kept his feet moving that’s what you need to do you got to keep the speed up and the way to do that is to keep your feet moving all right Nate
Dog this guy certainly is going to give it his all he can fly does everything fast super competitive plays a lot of power very quick hands nice clean pretty good through here pretty good through here
Now see him yeah he quieted his hands down there he’s a real uh choppy stick Handler just can’t AFF o almost lost the puck on the gate he’s going the fans can sense it oh little stumble there just
Saves it oh sideways skating there he comes he’s got a chance to catch McDavid going to be close no no didn’t quite get it fully clean throughout the competition he does as quick as he is yeah he
In second place and he’s put positioning himself well but absolutely came in with five points but as quick as as much power that McKinnon plays with and as much skill as he has you can see the difference of mdav the way that he can get through the the pucks there with speed accelerate
Into the backward some forward skating and then finish it off on the acceleration there 2 seconds and this it’s it’s a lot of feet if you’re just if you’re judging it by feet not seconds right David P of course these Toronto fans don’t like Boston [Music] Bruins yeah that’s they’re going
To boo PA announcer said let’s let them hear it okay that’s Boston pasta pretty clean let’s see how he does here transitioning pretty smooth there round gate one who wheelie here we go this is proven to be a little more difficult this backwards scanning from the forward than we
Anticipated pasta is not going to catch McDavid oh oh no don’t do that pasta [Applause] no oh Bak came in with four and a half he still beat coocher off Believe it or I’m not sure if
Was doing this competition I’d be that non schwant on anything for a million dollars right his pasta certainly was in a position oh just fell off his stick and he knew he had to go get [Laughter] it one of the best faces in the NHL great interview with Steve Levy and Ray Ferrar
On Sports Center before we went on the air K MS said if he wins the 1 million he’ll give all his defenseman 100 Grand each they asked pasta would he give Brad Marron any money he said not a penny
That was earlier on Sports Center great player and a great interview all right Matthew barzal should be good in this competition he can stick handle and he can skate yeah tremendous skater little problem through the first line of Lights this is smooth very good transition there we
Go pretty good time this is going to be right around the top three I think if yeah so can’t quick all right so he’s second now he beats McKinnon it’s Conor McDavid hanging on with one player left William neander good effort
By barzel though another four points could be coming his way he has seven now look Williams got great hands and I just don’t see him being able to beat that 25 to so there’s our live scoring MCH currently barzel is tied for the lead with Mard McDavid tied
With Pon with 10 so William nanders could affect these standings if he can get in the top five he should he can stick handle with the best of them oh and there’s your answer that hurt and I don’t think he finished those [ __ ] either I’m not sure if he did either he
Knew he had to do it all he had knew he had to go full Full Speed Ahead but just couldn’t keep quite keep it under control so McDavid will be fine at one barzel is going to be fine at
Two here he comes pretty good finish really oh the late stumble is going to cost him a second or two in the end 27.2 and somehow finish third have to go back a video replay on those [ __ ] down
Here to begin with but that’s the thing about M keep getting back to it the thing about McDavid there everybody’s trying to hustle up and do this as fast as they can but he’s able to do it under
Control M neander did pour it on late and then he really got down the ice quickly PK suban is with David posn he’s on the cut line PK is he nervous I’m here with one of the best dressed guys in the
NHL pasta listen you’re in seventh place right now you know how this thing is top eight move on you know what’s your game plan to get some more points you’re right on the brink of being eliminated and
Tell us walk us through what happened when you missed that open net you don’t miss too many of those uh it was just a toin you know I have a tough time with toins not used to those you know
Well I like to work for my goals too I understand soon as the goal is there now well I don’t know honestly uh you know just took a shot I didn’t missed it you know uh went to get my own rebound
And got it in sometimes it’s just too good to be true yeah that’s right you guys heard it from pasta he’s got to get things going I think he will I don’t know the only accuracy shooting remains Conor McDavid wins the stick handling and Allstar skills presented by Draft Kings sports book The

Gilmore accuracy shooting our final competition of the first six of the evening four players will go home after this this is also a timed event a four for five could beat a four for four if the four for four guy goes a little
Slow he a cucher out hit the first two he thought he hit that one no now we blow the whistle here the stoppage only the I was just going to say I think he wants new targets what do we do are we going to
Start over I’m not sure what’s going on here but uh he didn’t like something or hit something and they didn’t count it or yeah I got the feeling we’re going to start again he’s having quite a
Night for himself the Cheetos accuracy shooting we got to get the Cheetos logos in there come on we got to get the check get the Lays a classic event Mark fessier won it twice in 1991 and
1996 you went four for four but again here you got to go quickly too cuz a four for five can beat a four for four all these Sharp Shooters certainly I felt I felt better doing things
At game speed to be honest with you I I don’t wanted to shoot the puck hard I want the passes to come like in game speed it just felt more natural than trying to coo is obliterating the
[Applause] targets there you go yeah he cooch is going to have an early exit tonight as he goes over to talk and get a glove tap from Maple Leaf Legend douge Gilmore Sarah nurse and Blair turnbo also helping out the passing tonight so the other end it’s nurse and Steve
Thomas former mapel Lea what a great career Steve Thomas had sure did played for 20 years scored 421 goals former teammate of Ray Ferraro played for Chicago tono the Islanders the Devils Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and finished up with Detroit at the age of 40 he’ll be passing to kale Mar
So Mar is our leader one for one two for two oh H the post three for four Miss Miss got to get this one oh oh that’s too bad he did exactly what I done myself to get the bottom targets to easier
One I think he did too yeah yeah he did so you see little little little piece of that Cheeto right there just a little dust on the fingers so Mar’s time will likely change but they’ll get that official as we continue on
We mentioned 10 players wasp Here Comes onto McDavid take the lower targets first that’s oh that’s the Mark Messier advice they’re the easier targets to hit get a little rhythm going get a little confidence BCI all right you know it’s like
Making that first six foter six footer right like don’t practice those long putts for a round just go with the two Footers hear that sound sorry RoR McDavid led the league in goals last year with 64 got 20 this year not quite scoring at the same [Music] clip
Quinn Hughes warming up at the other end on Deck just taking passes so now Mar’s time is 19.06.13 have to really pour it on McDavid wants to continue getting points he wants the overall Championship one for one two for two three for three can he do it yes oh tremendous oh and quick and you see the the way he shot it with his velocity 9158 the new [Applause] leader
All right M you said go low first he actually went in order he did he went around the clock around the world B really like the way he attacked the target so remember he already has two first tonight that’s one of the tie Breakers later is how many firsts you get if
You’re tied with a guy in total points so he talks to kale Mar there live scoring if this holds for McDavid he would be our new leader Quinn Hughes now defenseman have won this in the past Thomas cavet Ray Bor Jacob slaven and of course yes Ray Bor nobody better than in
This [Applause] competition Bor won seven times here comes Hues oh wow oh that’s a Miss there we go excellent Mory won seven times seven times winner [Applause] wow for a second we got a whopping $55,000 for those whopping 5,000 five grand to win an
Event 1 million tonight mess back back down a bit for the weekend again four guys will be eliminated after this event we’ll be down to eight players competing for a million dollars here comes JT Miller we mentioned how accurate of a shooter he is in actual NHL games can he
Get himself a big point total he’s right around the cut line he’ll need a four for four here or maybe a four for five could be okay he’s got a chance needs these last two post there he
Goes pretty good speed there really good y 13.5 87 as he’ll take a couple fist bumps from Blair Turnbull and thugy Gilmore on to McDavid Remains the leader of the accuracy shooting got to let
Your instincts take over in these bchi a lot of times you see them just kind of throwing it at the Target not doing it like you do it at game speed or game intensity and if you do it at game
Speed and game intensity your instincts take over you’re not thinking so much seem to be the players that actually have the most success when they do it that way pasta needs a big point total he
Has four and a half right on the cut line he’s got hope he’s won this event in 2019 he’s the only one participating who’s one in the pack o he misses the first surprising and the second CR loves it turn them On’s going to go home early I’m
Afraid yeah he just got off to a rough start yep missed his first four finished it makes such a huge difference if you hit that first Target it it just relaxes you gets you in a
Bit of a rhythm otherwise the soul out of body exactly you can see it from body language hear from the crowd too as they go a little more anxiety so pasta will miss the cut go baby and the prize for $1 million here’s Nathan McKinnon boys good as the goalies take the
Ice now cuz they can do a little warm up here because they’re in the next competition see McKennon he only knows one speed so he’s going to do this at game speed get it and rip it I can guarantee you that taking passes from Gilmore and player turnbo
Kon has a second and a fifth so far seven points if he wants the overall title he needs a good number in this one not a good start good Pace okay so McKinnon who came in with seven points 15.9 [Applause] 58
He’s fourth McDavid still the only sub 10 by a strong number it’s like Tiger Woods at the US Open at Pebble Beach yeah William neanders up now Willie styles again he’s at Five Points he needs a yeah he needs a quick yeah he does that put him in good position if you can
Get out here clean dry Ido and Matthews are still to come they also both need a [Applause] win slow start all a stumble give me Puck snap that one so Soul star good finish [Applause] yep so he’s in a position for third good effort by neander
Who came in with five in this competition he needs the those three points going two to go Austin Matthews will go last in this accuracy shooting at home as Leon dry Sidle warming up
Taking a pass from Doug [Music] Gilmore certainly a guy you can see rip off for in a r mess yes no question got to get that first one probably kills you with confidence I it does now you may start
To panic a little now now you’re under now you’re under and0 for four yep now you’re now you’re just flat out ped right yeah I think you got that one all right now he’ll settle down oh maybe not now
I just want to go home it’s like when you shoot 51 in the front Miss right you just want to go home Nine and Nine and this is this is so cruel like players should be able to just walk off at this
Point w I’d like to see him kind of torturing me [Applause] yeah there he goes yeah fist pump from Leon a lot of young boys and girls out there watching these guys you got to you got to finish it out that’s right never quit no matter what happens you a lot
Of lessons so Austin Matthews remains mess certainly this would be a another guy so he really needs to beat McKinnon’s 15.9 to advance he needs a point or Austin Matthews could go home early well this is his Forte right here shooting the puck Nobody Does
It [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Better so Hughes 14.8 is his number otherwise we got a tiebreaker so four he needs to get under 14.8 and change let see if he gets that first one and gets
Some confidence and some Mo here we go needs that first one got it got it oh looking go four for five and with a good time it’s going to be a good time it’s a good time excellent he’s going
To make it Austin Matthews comes through second place four points for him five for McDavid McDavid wins another competition the skills competition he helped to reimagine and recreate he’s coming through as Matthews is relieved Miller third neander fourth yeah he was locked in there you can
Tell he was locked in there it’s an all Canadian win there for the top five PK suban with Austin Matthews yes I am here with the star of the night star of the weekend and he is representing for the
Six and for the city of Toronto awestin Matthews how does it feel to now be the best shooter in the world I need to make up some ground there so I’m happy I could I want to keep this thing going
Some ground you did make up some ground but how great is it to be able to have that feeling you know what I mean everybody Standing Ovation how does that feel yeah it’s amazing I mean I feel
Like I’ve talked about it a little bit this week and been fortunate to play some All-Star games and um you know I always find the hometown guys I mean they get so much love and support as they should
So uh it’s been a great week so far and it’s you know it’s been a great turn out here in Toronto it’s it’s really been really special it’s got to be special too doing it with your teammates you
Got Willie here beside you what do you think of his performance so far been great he’s been great I mean uh you know we don’t call Willie styles for nothing man he’s uh he’s a treat to be around
And uh special person special player well as a Toronto native I’m very proud of you and how you represented the city Toronto I know you are thanks guys Austin Matthews greatest shooter in the world
And he he’s moving on PK one a performance he had to come through and in the end Matthews gets it done bam and but four guys are going home now they have missed the cut two events to go goalies will
Be part of our next competition you can tell he wanted that he wanted to move on so our current standings you can see David poock Leon dry cidal Quinn Hughes and Nikita kucherov fail to advance it’s a one-on-one this is where the goalies are involved they can win a 100 Grand
With the most saves as the as many shots as you want one-on-one event is coming up hustle pays off first five pucks worth a point shots under the hash mark only most saves gets goalies 100 Grand if there’s a tie save percentage is the tiebreaker two more players will be eliminated
Playing for the 1 million after the one-on-one timed event and then we’ll have the obstacle course where points are doubled and that’s where you really can make a move and now the the goalies get to play for some cash well the goalies come in here in a little tough
Spot too they got to get a little chance to get warmed up which I think they’re doing but they’re going to be facing some pretty good Shooters right out of the bat and I’m glad that they’ decided that there’s $100,000 for the goalies to win otherwise they’re just out here participating
Right they can’t play hockey without a scoreboard referees and goalies they’re all important Canada fact with Will Arnett Nathan Phillips Square named for the former Toronto mayor is skated on by millions including our current mayor who spends her lunchtime Wheeling around the square
Dreaming of being Tess of virtue or tyomi depends on the day eh welcome back to Toronto John Butcher Mark Messier Steve Ley and Ray Ferraro are here PK suban Kevin weeks Emily Kaplan so the goalies
Will be part of our second to last event let’s recap Conor McDavid got things off he won the fastest skater competition McDavid has been in four competition so far he’s one three and got nothing in one Nathan McKinnon is in a position but he’s got to really pick it up in these last
Two he just has seven points so far he barely made over the cut line Elias Patterson sits at 10 passing drill he looked really good in the hardest shot kale marar was your winner he also got a second in the passing challenge he is tied for second with Matthew
Barzel again mat we mentioned McDavid he’s won three competitions just he does everything so so quick so much finesse so controlled he’s just one of those players just has the ability to focus and execute what matters most he’s doing this like a
Game seven he know he wants to win and his performance some so far as indicative got a nice lead for $1 million all right the rules for this next event the one-on-one here it is now that we’ve Whitted the field down to eight it’s time to let our All-Star goalies
Have some fun in the Honda one-on-one the skater that sits in last place will go first selecting the goalie they want to face as long as that net minder isn’t a teammate we’ll put 60 seconds on the clock and set pucks out in designated areas on the ice the first five are worth
One point and the rest are worth two players must carry the puck of until they cross the hash marks before firing on net and they cannot score off a rebound if a player is carrying the puck when the clock hits zero we’ll let them take that final shot the highest total takes
The top spot and the Five Points wasn’t it for the goalies stop the most pucks take home $100,000 it’s time for the NHL Allstar oneon-one let’s meet the All-Star goalies is participating in this event from the Florida Panthers Sergey
Bosski from the Vancouver Canucks pater Demco from the Colorado Avalanche Alexander gorev from the Winnipeg Jets Hunter Helu from the Dallas Stars Jake uttinger from the New York Rangers eigor shesterkin from the Boston Bruins Jeremy Swan and from the Los Angeles Kings cam
Talit now please welcome Sports Net’s David Amber and ESPN’s Kevin weeks right we’re 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 neander you’re eighth in the standings but you can make up a lot of ground
We’re going to have you pick your goalie so who do you like you’ve been thinking about it I’m just going to go with Cam talot he’s standing right in front of me so I think that’s what
I’m picking you said you said cam talit you’re staring him down all right why cam talet because he was standing right in front of me so I just felt like that was a good choice all right all
Right the the local boy cam Talbot’s ready to take the net against William nander good [Applause] luck so William nander tied with Nathan McKinnon just over the cut line with seven points he’ll need a big
Event a timed event as many shots as you want hustle pays off at the Puck is on the player stick before the clock hit zero the play is allowed to be finished two more guys get cut after this [Applause] event and in the end the goalies who are helping out this competition
The one who makes the most saves wins $100,000 does not count against a salary cap Miss dander oh and hustle pays off first five pucks are worth a point shots under the hash marks only H to get that one two more pucks for neander he’s moving well oh big straight by tber he’s
Going to have a new coach when he goes back to work oh Beautiful Finish there by neander got three points so far these pucks are worth two points and he going to go all the way back
To the blue line to pick them up as many shots as you want 30 seconds left oh man Talbot looks good I can see where fatigue is going to come into a little bit of play here absolutely [Music] [Applause] this another save by S it’s tough to score against these NHL
Goalies the legs are beautiful shot 911 save percentage for talet now naner can finish this as the clock runs out oh oh in honor of Peter for Berg he ends with the postage stamp Olympic gol and
He is gassed that’s a good drill that’s a good drill we’re going to incorporate that into the practice session yeah M squirts peew everyone good for cardio good for skating there’s the first one mess yeah just at the skque he got a couple through the legs thought a little opening
There yeah straight through the legs that was a good shot there oh look at this final move the first of eight oneon-one shootout skaters here at ice level with Nate the Great Nate Dog Nate McKinnon Nate I’m not sure who you’re looking for here but I got a
Sense it’s Sergey bosi you good with that yeah he’s one of the best ever so uh I’ll try my luck here see what I can do all right Serge rasa to Florida panther you’re up Bobs so again that’s the interesting part of this competition the players pick their goalies
And Nate McKinna will go against the acrobatic Sergey bosi I mean just look at the lineup of the goalies who you can look over there and say there’s a weak point out there every one of them incredible 911 sa Wily neander I’ll just take the guy sitting me I like that 35-year-old
Sergey bosi 621 188 the russan strong against Nathan McKinnon early again McKinnon he needs a strong effort here if he’s going to win the overall legs up oh beautiful move [Applause] there he tried to shoot before he got
Set easy to forget that barosi broke in with the Philadelphia Flyers all the way back in 2010 Columbus some great years under John torella Bez than on the Florida with that big contract well he just caught fire at the right time last year and he brought
Him all the way to the Stanley Cup Final it was incredible to watch his perform seemed to get better with each game more confidence and the team rolled that confidence right into the finals so Nate McKinnon’s in trouble [Music] here he may not advance to the obstacle course
In the final round he’s going so good job by Sergey bosi having nice year 23 and 10 for the [Applause] Panthers this one goes between the legs here but after that it was it was all Sergey that’s a beautiful backand there for
McKinnon look at that angle for us there you look there’s nowhere where where you going to shoot all right [Applause] you can’t take your teammate Batcher dempo so who you do want to select to go one-on-one with uh I’m going to have to
Go with sway yeah why why sway uh I can’t score on any other guys on breakaways I love it all right go for it good luck American on American yeah you can’t pick your teammate so it’s JT Miller against Jeremy swayman
Don’t forget the goalies most safe gets $100,000 so Serge barosi is off to a good start there Jeremy Swan see how he does that an outstanding year for the Boston Bruins 924 save percentage second only to Aiden Hill it’s an easy first save on [Applause]
Miller oh there’s a beautiful move really good and these are it looked like San had him shut down there and he still found it these are onepoint pucks two through the legs so he gets two of the five onepoint pucks now he gets as many
As he wants here legs getting heavy that this point bchi oh that one came out the stick funny I think he tried a little change up yeah a little knuckle ball little knuckle yeah oh sweet oh that was nice swingan thought for sure he was going back to the forehand try
That moving in maybe oh oh bar and in I think it was in the first time actually then hit swan in the back and went in twice oh he not going to score from there he tried to get it
Before he got set but no way six points did he take yeah that would have counted he did touch the puck before the clock hit zero so six points for Miller puts him in second so bosski had eight saves he’s the current go tender leader for
[Applause] $100,000 yeah he beautiful Moon by Miller all right what goalie next will be selected to go against Austin Matthews who will Matthews pick all right we’ve got Hometown boy Austin Matthews the NHL leader and goal scored let’s hear you
Fans yeah now you’re back GTA now you’re back all right Max who you going with I’m going to go with thater dco ooh the big man from Van all right well he’s a teammate tomorrow so maybe this is uh part of the bonding get to know each other a little
Better yeah or did you take AER that was a long night Miss A of tall goalies down there but that that Demco big boy he is a big boy here comes Matthews he needs a big goal total here eight points oh my that was sick beautiful the coolest go of the night so
Far try to get him before he got set again aats or Matts as his friends call him job by Demco Demo’s mom and wife right here is new baby new new Christian daddy so he saved four
The first five oh man that was sweet Matthews has 26 seconds to go as many as he wants well you’re right coming on a big pass Tempco You Don’t See Much next you don’t see anything
Watching on the on the camera angle here there’s oh was that sick up to five for Matthews needs these last two oh there’s one oh that was really nice through back he’s not going to have time for
Two this will be his last [Applause] Puck oh he couldn’t get had to get it up top he had him beat he couldn’t get it up top that would have tied him with knee Lander instead he’s at seven but some real nasty stuff from Austin
Matthews yeah he really had a Dem Co guessing on that 920 sa percentage for D go this year for Vancouver why they’re a big favorite coming out of the West after getting Elias lolm they’re not done either they may make it one more move in Vancouver all right Elias Patterson is up what
Goenda Alias four goalies to choose from two of them are vzna winners there’s no easy decisions here who are you going to go one-on-one with uh going Jake Ginger Jake oner why why Jake uh we were at dinner last night and yeah a little friendly Shar so the
Side who pays the bill good luck good stuff I like that Jake AER former bu Terrier Terriers were winners tonight six to three over New Hampshire so Pon all kinds of talent he’s got reach he’s got a shot mess certainly a guy you could see he’s trying to top knee Landers nine
It’s a hockey player he’s got an incredible skill set and he’s getting bigger stronger as the years go go on here and seems really maturing into a superstar in this [Applause] league three straight saves there’s a nice one for Pon got 27 goals for
Vancouver last year of course2 points 39 goals really burst onto the scene still needs a contract he’s going to get a big one I think the biggest thing for him this year guci is his uh his consistency that he played with 64 points in 49 games that’s
Beauty so he’s only got 19 seconds left basically takes about 7even eight seconds to get a puck and then get the next one so he’s got to hurry this will be his last shot yep here here he goes oh the ler look very solid there BCI you look
Good the post is your friend if you’re net minder is it ever so ainger stopped eight of 10 s with bosski shooting percentage is the first tiebreaker and you can see right there in that goal there he he let the golender make the first move and then
You have got your choices after that Matthew barzel a lot of Islander fans are certainly watching and a lot of your family are back in Vancouver in that area who you picking here I’m going to pick my New York counterpart eagor Sherin wow I like it smart little
Rivalry rival what we got New York all right New York New York Big City of Dreams yeah Matthew barzel just gets it that’s what you do here give us a moment his all those Islander fans back on
The island I’ll be there this Thursday with yous calling their game against the lightning on the ESPN that’ll be fun BCI that’s a lot of fun you me and PK for The Islander Lightning game on the on the big Network ESPN so Matthew barzel was Islander fans watching back on the island Belmore
Wants to see their guy beat the ranger save by shurkin so tight oh that was a good shot got him leaning there over the glove marzel’s going he wants to get to that second level to get as many shots as he will he will have oh that’s a heart
One 37 seconds now to go a tough year for Rashia sturken best 899 save percentage maybe this would give him some confidence well he got hurt and came back and hasn’t quite found his form but uh I have
No doubt no doubt that he will find it by the end of the year and it’s going to be a big influence on the Rangers second half here oh beautiful still doesn’t have a shut out yet he’s too too good a
Goalie not to bring it back probably the first time he’s really been injured too and coming back off and iny is you know takes a little bit of experience last fck for barza I think unless he
Can get back there in 3 seconds I don’t think he’s going to make it got got it this will count it’s a big one oh in the post oh my [Applause] goodness he’s an entertaining player he likes to put on a
Show great guy to talk to as well Matthew Barelle fourth place oh man that’s that’s a beautiful oh here to the legs and it is just oh oh the top of the left Pad but then hit the top of the right pad and didn’t Bank into the net like
You thought it might so eigor to St eor they’re on that too he H and N it’s in the kale Mar’s up next what goalie will he pick uh to be honest with you I don’t I don’t even
Know I don’t I don’t I don’t know if I have a chance here so it’s uh we’re we’re going to try and put Pucks in the back of the net and uh make the fans happy all right well good luck
Don’t give up and Conor McDavid of course will be against Alex gorv Conor all right to score as many goals as I can it’s going to be tough he’s a great goenda gotcha all right little Hockey East flavor here you Mass Minutemen UMass low against [Music] heluk so right now uh bosski
And ainger are tied eight saves each with 80% save percentage which is the tiebreaker if it ends this way and they’re still the leaders they’ll split the hund okay that’s fair I like that there goes
The car now oh my goodness just a bit outside taking a Long Way Around the Net taking a long way oh there some power lethal oh number two so he’s building points early on the onep pointers [Applause] see oh try the forber 34 seconds left what you can hear blad cutting the ice

Good seven saves so auton Jer bosski still your leaders in the go Department only one man can beat them and he has to go against Conor McDavid but first here’s ma against heluk that first shot by by Mar scoring there he let that go so quick and so accurate no chance for
Hellu but bounced back and great performance by huk there as well Mar’s Alma Mo UMass did win tonight while UMass low fell to Bon Collin number one team of the country so here it is
Our leader Conor McDavid has a nice nicely too if he wins this one be in great position to win the whole Fame and the obstacle course of course the obstacle course is going to be his best best
Event it’s the all unless his blade falls off his skate here he comes my goodness he’s going hard oh poke cheek great poke check oh now he’s got him thinking about getting too close nowes can’t get too tight exactly that was the first poke check of the night wasn’t in Conor’s brain
Another one another one I tell you that should play without a stick in this competition that’d be skill oh oh that was a good shot look at him cover ground he’s are worth two points oh with
This speed he probably has time for incredible amount of ground oh try to go five ball no six saves because of the speed of McDavid gorev can pick up a number of saves that’s seven he’s two
Saves away from winning 100 Grand he going get a two shots in hereo he is oh so gorv will win 100 Grand if he makes this save it’s a $100,000 save for [Applause] gorv check him again nine
Of 11 and he wins one 00,000 the Poke check was his friend kept him away from the [Applause] de again he wins 100 Grand courtesy the PO check mess right there you can see him to Chang his
Old attempts for McDavid there were some of your opponents who poke checked well against you back in the day oh my goodness uh Ron Ronnie XTO Kevin weeks is with our $100,000 winner I’m standing here with Alex gorv of the Colorado Avalanche who looked a little bit like the late
Great Johnny Bower or maybe like arur B with the Poke check and you change the color the blade tape on the stick tell us what happened uh just try not to look like a barly goalie to
Be honest uh yeah just trying to compete there and uh enjoy the moment uh and just play them fair you certainly did that so 100 Grand that’s that’s a lot of cream what are you going to do
With that 100 Grand you going to do anything for the boys what are you going to do uh you put me on the spot there uh yeah I have to I have to put a little bit and uh uh I haven’t made any
Plans but it’s it’s really cool experience for sure awesome stuff you can always say that you Stone Conor McDavid and you ended up winning 100 Grand congrats Georgie great stuff thanks a lot awesome good stuff back to you bchi awesome yeah pretty good night’s work for 100 grand
So JT Miller and Nathan McKinnon now depart after they missed the cut after round two PK suban sitting down next to Willie Styles PK are we on we’re here all right here I am with William neander doing it in Big Willie Style fashion in his town in Toronto representing listen
You’re three points behind McDavid you and Austin Matthews can win this thing how do you feel about that yeah I think that that shootout was huge for us to get back at back in the competition for sure
Okay also just this is just off the cup rumor has it you’re one of the best looking guys in the NHL which means you probably one of the best looking guys in sports how do you feel about that I don’t
Know about that rumor but uh I’ll take that thanks Willie all right so here are our current standings with one event remaining for $1 million in the end JT Miller wins the tiebreaker over leus Pon and so McDavid marelle neander Matthews Ma and Miller it’s tight it’s anybody’s million dollars
PK and weeky it certainly is thanks BCI we’re down here at ice level on the bench and we’ve got PK PK what are your thoughts right now we’ve got the remaining fellas right now we got Big
Poppy beside you here we got big poy a how did you get that nickname Big Poppy is it Big poppy poppy Chula what is it poppy just poppy uh yeah my mom gave it to me when I was like born basically
And just they called me Poppy and that’s all like growing up in Arizona that’s all anybody knew me at the rink like nobody knew me by Austin it was just Poppy I love that there you go po Poppy I
Love it I love it I love it but I like to mix in the poppy Chulo every now and then when he’s on a two game when he’s on a heater a lot of little heater okay let’s get some predictions here who do
You have winning the rest of this honestly I have the hometown guys I think it’s going to be either Willie or or Austin Matthews and he’s right here I think they’re going to step up they’re saving
Some energy for this last one a lot of pressure on McDavid let’s see how he hand don’t sleep on barzel though don’t sleep on barel yeah Bar’s he’s he’s nasty all right bchi mess back up to
You where the sheets reside back up to you what are the rules of the obstacle course announcer man one final event with everything on the line the Pepsi NHL obstacle course is all that stands between our Allstars and a skills Title First our skaters will show off their
Speed again but this time car a puck then we’ll see stick handling through a series of light up Bridges from there it’s a test of passing Precision into three mini Nets then our Allstars will race to the cone course and the event ends with a shot to a Target in
The net fastest time through the course wins the final challenge with double the points up for grabs tally up the scores and the allstar with the highest total takes home the million dooll prize so that means 10 points to the winner which means everybody’s in see leas
Pson is out that’s because the tiebreaker JT Miller had a second so between Miller and Pon and he did better in the one-on-one result as well so we’ll go in descending order that means JT Miller will go first in the obstacle course kind of like the old school Superstars remember that on
ABC sure do the last event was always the obstacle course remember watching Wayne Gretzky in that and Y tore the competition up remember Lin Swan we used to hurdle the high jump everybody else used to somersault Lin Swan ran right over it he won every year all
Right so JT Miller obviously needs a big time finish only five points out of the lead 10 n 876 for first through fifth the dude with the most points with $1 million the other players can kind of get a refresher course of what I’m going to do taking the puck around now through
The little around the greens through the greens around the blues there you go some sauce into the Nets it’s got to be tough mess huh oh incredibly tough this one should be easy it’s a big it’s a big wide one got it Time Event around the Pepsi
[Applause] cans and you got to shoot it right through the middle that should not be a problem yeah although they don’t normally aim for the logo so 49.3 51 again until you see someone really do much better you’re not sure what a good time
Is I don’t think that uh time’s going to stand up now I think so looked a little sluggish got a mixed up on a few of the uh Gates down here so let’s uh see Willie neander is going to yep
I think Will’s going to step up here step up there and put a put a mark on the board that everybody can shoot for this is where McDavid probably will build a lead right because this first ring round he’s going to have so much speed faster anybody else’s nobody can do this
Better than McDavid I unless he something his blade falls off his skate uh yeah maybe Mar Ma and barzel probably with their skating is the one the two guys that could maybe hang so Mar is going to go [Applause] first David just can do it at such high speed under control
Stick handling Puck handling edging three players are 12 points so they probably fig out the tiebreaker on who actually goes first find those green ones and go between them oh he lost there there you go floats it through floats it through find the greens gets that
One through now this is going to be a big part of the competition someone goes three for three he’ll probably win three for four three for five okay now the wheels of Mard through the cans he’s going to beat
Miller he’ll be the new leader as long as he scores that’s the big thing here got to put it in and it is so he’s your new leader 43.436962 again it’s a finish still Gass Here Comes poppy poy Austin Matthews enough to a good start here get to the targets he’s got great hands you can see him getting those little Nets in three for three got to get through clean to win this BCI no doubt about it he thre there
Through the obstacles here obviously through the lighted Gates get the targets down quick find the green ones boom boom boom use the momentum of the puck get Malin style clean now can he go three
For three one oh he miss hit the pad oh oh Austin one more to go oh it’s to post well this is going to be the uh tough rck Austin now let’s see how he finishes here through the cans and into the
Net stamina is a part of this obstacle course some guys burn out early mess he’s not going to catch the car car will hang on to oh look at that that saves time BCI is sweet he knew he was behind exactly his only chance was to save two seconds which he probably did
With that lengthy shot EAS two seconds yeah and that passes Miller and he’s in second confidence up with the confidence to take the shot from there that’s some swag this is so cool boom pump it and boom save himself a second maybe second and a half teammate Willie Styles is
Next as Matthews can only hope now that that second place hangs on that would give him nine points in 21 you see the live standings it won’t be good enough he can’t pass ma car I see neander having a good run so Mar the only chance for a million but of course we
Have other participants remaining who could pass him naner is going he wants this just signed the new be contract extension in front of the fans they were afraid they were going to lose Willie but he stuck around with the big eight-year extension gets through cleanly this is where
He can win it this is the spot that’s the real Difference Maker look at the nice touch no okay go he’s going too oh he wants it Will’s given 100% this is why they put the million dooll prize come
On this is why oh a stumble that could cost them he might have to shoot from distance it’s going to be close oh no he can’t do bless his heart he must be the sickest man in Canada oh he had a
Chance at it he had to hit it oh I love the effort from William neander that was awesome this is what Conor McDavid was talking about I love the compete so good just didn’t see that in years pass really
Good he is absolutely Gass look at the death touch though just a little sauce over there oh it just fell off the toe and it was he lost it right here B on the target uh on the sauce [Music] Target so there’s the live scoring barzel as you can see
See he could pass ma with a second uh-huh that would give him [Applause] 22.5 but obviously he’d like to make sure he passes Mar’s time yeah then make McDavid beat him then make McDavid beat him exactly here we go should be a good event beautiful stride
Yeah he’s got speed of course he’s got amazing hands lots of marinara in these Ms clean as a whistle mess here it is this is the Difference Maker who will go three for three or three for
Four the Miss went for the big net first and he missed it both times oh boy no no just get one get one pulling them no oh this is where it gets tough right you hear the crowd moan you’re getting tired your spirit has been sucked out of your body he going
To ride a pucks well they’re going to bring more over just in casage here comes the pck caddy we did not expect this no oh my god oh poor Manny is that it no just finish off you never know abely someone could be
Worse yeah this is where you got to dig deep and play just finish it for PR if you ain’t first you’re last at the skills competition in Toronto last too bad he was set out for a
Good time he did everything else really that’s Prov to be that’s proven to be the hurdle right down it is that little net is n but you got to just stick with one and hit that he missed
The first couple then he went to a different Target then he got a little bit of way off balance there you got to stick with the same one till you hit it second place is eight points in
This round muscle memory bie muscle memory stay with the first one eight points gets McDavid the [Music] win I guarantee he’s got a little adrenalin run right now bii competitive as he is so here it is getting crowned him he’s got to beat mat 47.2 that’s his time
Been debating it but now we’re going to find out well a lot of people called this the Conor McDavid Invitational if there was no salary cap on the Range do we pay him 50 million so this is a way to get Conor an extra million bucks let’s see I think he
Wants to win 47 seconds for a million doll that’s a good start oh just misses the this is the narrow one this is the hardest one he got it now this is an easy one for him that’s
A piece of cake he’s going to do it just don’t fall down Conor you’re going to win a million don’t fall down Connor and put the biscuit in the basket $1 million shot here it is oh no problem
What a performance what a performance by what we thought was the best player in the National Hockey League debatable maybe for some but now we know BCI incredible incredible I love the compet $1 million to Conor McDavid the man who help reimagine the event bring some juice some drama mission accomplished how
About the professionalism though the compete that he shown just incredible a little rough through the stick handling portion wo bar out was probably ahead of him at this point but McDavid got the first net and then finished off no problem just had a finish it off here that was a unbelievable unreal what
A performance all right the runner up was Kell marar he’s with our Kevin weeks yeah he’s won everything in this league he’s won everything in the game and he was outstanding in this once again
Take us through your run yeah just a little bit of a rough rough start on the kind of Puck cones there and uh knew just that knew that was going to be the dagger so there’s one guy to beat today
And it was him and do it what do you think of the new setup I loved it this was awesome I mean you get to do a couple extra things uh it’s pretty late right now but uh no it was awesome like
Just being able to interact with these guys and then be able to contri or kind of compete in all these events was a lot of fun I think these guys have fun here too so uh definitely something to
Keep in the back pocket for NHL fans hopefully any family here from Calgary taking it in for All-Star Weekend yeah some parents and stuff was giv him a little look after that was a little bit
A tough one but uh knew it wasn’t going to come out my way when he’s going last so still a lot of fun and kind of lost to a better guys though great stuff long way from elbow Park keep it going
Yeah I appreciate you so kale marar close second place to our champion caror McDavid McDavid with PK suban 1 million bones 1 million balloons PK all right I’m here with with Conor McDavid
Connor I’m sitting on the bench with JT Miller and J looks at you and he looks at me and week he goes one run for a million dollars and it seems like every single time you’re on the ice you’re faced
With the pressure the adversity to step up put your team on your back represent your city you do it how does it feel to be a millionaire now and how do you do it every time yeah you know
Obviously there’s money on the line and it’s fun um you know special to go up against all these guys here 12 12 of the best hockey players in the world and um like I said we were here to put on a
Show and hope the fans enjoyed it um I know I did well you’re a consumate professional and you know what for a lot of kids there’s a lot of kids watching you’re a great example Conor McDavid
Best player in the world right now folks shows it again today shout out to Edmonton Oilers thanks Conor appreciate that there we go Conor mcdavis 16 wins in a row currently they’ll go for their 17th
In a row on ESPN plus Tuesday then he wins his skills competition it’s pretty good to be Conor McDavid right now who breaking news already was a millionaire just so PK knows he was already Milli
That’s true I just can’t I just keep getting back to the same thing you know you come into these events of course everybody’s a great hockey player of course everybody wants to do well but being able to do it well when the pressure is on and in the moments the biggest Conor McDavid
Came in here he was an instrumental in changing the format had a big say in it and then came out here and delivered it was just incredible to watch what a performance by him and showed
Why he’s the best player in the in the National Hockey League and of course the best player in the world getting the big check from Bill Daly $1 million now next on his agenda win a Stanley Cup
That’s what uh he’s going to be putting all his focus in to win a Stanley Cup and uh I’m sure at some point in his career he’s going to do it for Mark Miss I’m John bu Steve Levy take us home all
Right bie excellent job from the main broadcast Booth here with Ray Ferraro Ray we didn’t learn anything tonight because we knew Conor McDavid was the best player on the world and he proved that once again here tonight nothing changed I think Conor mcdavid’s the most evolved player
Of all time I think he’s the greatest player that’s ever played the game I think the game will show that in history you watch him today Nate McKinnon said last year he’s so much better than everybody else and then you watch it when they’re all together and it’s just remarkable to
Watch him just think since just before Christmas mcdavid’s won 16 straight games and a million bucks has not lost since before the Christmas season and McDavid said he enjoyed tonight kale marar said he liked all the new changes NHL did a really good job they got that right tweaking the
Allstar skills competition so we’re 2third of the way through this Allstar Weekend in Toronto the Crown Jewel comes tomorrow the Honda NHL allstar game we’ll see you all at 300 p.m. Eastern on ABC it’s been a special night Conor McDavid he is your champion and don’t forget about Alex gorv he won

Really hope McDavid gave that mill he stole to a charity!
I’ll never forgive the flyers for flubbing up bobrovski. Could’ve had a dynasty…
LOL these commentators making comments about Canucks, esp saying imagine the 3 being in Team Canada like hello? 2 Americans and 1 Swedish? LOL
10mins in, 3x Ads. PLUS the ones at the beginning… Thanks YouTube or Thanks NHL…
720p…
I really wanted to watch this, but 20 ads in 18 minutes is nuts…
What did I watch? Ads…
dont invite Kucherov to these anymore, guy is a petty loser
Bouchard would win hardest shot easy. In game he has like 60 bombs over 90 mph. Second is Ovechkin with half that
Still nothing beats watching Bure
Why doesn’t Crosby compete in fastest skater? Isn’t he one of the best skaters in the league?
Shorted mackinnon 4 points in that accuracy contest.
sid flew to the skills competition to do an interview
Thankful the NHL uploaded this! Missed it live cause of work schedule. Go Krakens!
Fastest skater in the world…. hmmm maby not😂 in hockey league maby but i think there is "few" faster speed skater😁
The players do NOT want to be there💀
What an amazing event this year,t he best I've ever watched. I know this is gonna bring so many more eye balls next year.
This was a disgrace to the game. None of these guys seemed to care that they were there. Go back and watch one from the 90s and see fun
