All-Star Weekend (Toronto 2024)

Maybe he's a bit ticked off at Toronto period? Maybe he's ticked off at the NHL for not including Russians in international events? OR maybe just maybe he doesn't give a rats ass of what people think of him. Maybe.

Or maybe he just simply doesn't care about anything other than winning the Stanley Cup.

Yes, and that is where his focus should be. Not saying what he did was great, but he obviously wanted to show people at an event held in a rival city, that he doesn't want to be there. Who knows what he was thinking, but it wasn't much.

The game is always going to be meh for me. It cannot be "worth" anything because the last thing any fan wants is their all-star getting hurt in an exhibition, which means low effort, which means no hitting, which means you lose what makes hockey compelling. The NHL does the best with what it has (a ton of stars not giving max effort). It's over and done, now back to the second half of a compelling NHL season.

I watched John Scott lay a hit on Patty Kane knocking him to the ice.

I enjoyed him being there.
Zegras breakaway trick goal was pretty awesome highlight too.

Saying Kucherov has 2 rings in his ears or he's too busy sweeping the Leafs in May aren't understanding the bigger picture, or too lazy to critique a thought properly. Those aren't even good jokes...but whatever.

Imagine being this sensitive LMAO

Don't go then. He clearly cares enough to make people see how little he cares.

Is that an option if they are healthy?

To quote Marshawn Lynch, I'm only here so I don't get fined.
