SuperCrappy Skills Competition

Well last nights skills comp was a disaster, listening to Pierre McGuire on sportscentre after the event he said the Bell Centre was the quietest he's ever heard it and the opening band was horrible I don't even know who they we're probably some local Montreal band.
As for the skills part it self was hit and miss first off the clock for the fastest skater was malfunctioning the winner ended up being Andrew Cogliano of the Oilers, next came the Breakaway Trick Shot event with an unknown Junior B goalie from the Montreal Arean in net the guy was paid 1000 Bucks I guess to stand there and let the pucks in but he stopped most of them, Ryan Getzlaf was my favorite of the competition even though he didn't win he was the best, Ovie put on a ridiculous outfit consisting of a Hat with a Canadian flag attach to it, Sunglasses and 2 sticks this obviously made him garner the most votes through text messaging what surprised me was that Alex Kovalev didn't win seeing that everyone at the Bell Centre who had cellphones would have voted for him.
After a little break came the Youngstars game which was like watching 10 year olds with a lot more skill play the game had no emotion, no speed and what was Carey Price even in net for ''OH I DON'T WANT TO GET HURT SO I CAN HELP MY TEAM OUT FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR'' it was pointless, the latter part of the events we're pretty fun except for Accuracy Shooting it was won by Evgeni Malkin when he clearly didn't hit 4 out of 4 targets that was a setup totally, Hardest Shot was sweet 24,000 dollars would be donated to the Winners choice charity Defending Champion and still champion Zdeno Chara donated the money to Right to Play.
Then came the best event of them all Elimination Shootout which had all 36 skaters compete it came down to the Final 3 of Shane Doan, Milan Hejduk and Marc Savard.... Savard and Tim Thomas went up against each other and Thomas let in a softy much to the digress of the Habs faithful Shane Doan eventually won the shootout.
Overall I'd rate this event 5 out of 10 the Kids liked it but the hardcore hockey fans probably hated it, somethings that could be worked on to improve the the skills comp would be.

1. Instead of having an actual goalie for the Trick Shot the should either do a block in front and the player has to maneuver around it or just use no goalie
2. Have the top prospects game during on the Saturday a meaning full game and what better place to show it off then in an NHL rink where the fans can see the next crop of Talent
3. After the pros see how what a show the prospects put up then they might want to up more of an effort
