He says he's got a little something secret in store for the breakaway challenge tonight. I'm sure he won't fail to impress.

Wow.

[Slacky McSlackAss]

I'm definitely watching this tonight along with the Affliction MMA card. Should be a great night of TV.

[Springfield]

Just started... no competition yet... just the formalities.

[Capt. Kaos]

Any place to watch online?

[StillUnknown]

i'll watch to see Ovechkin

[ACW]

Who's the chick. She kinda cute :yes:

[Springfield]

Any place to watch online?

I dunno. I'm not up to date on the finer nuances to watching live TV online. Sorry.

The chick who sang the opening montage was terrible though, I can assure you of that.

[CrypticVillain]

Gotta see my man Ovie tear it up. Easily the best thing going in sports in DC right now.

[Springfield]

Yeah buddy! Ovie!!!!!!!!!!

[StillUnknown]

is he in any other events besides the Breakaway?

[Springfield]

Well, all the stars are out and were going to be starting the action after the commercials... I think.

I also had a completely random thought while watching the introductions. I think it would be a cool idea for, in any sports league, to have the winner of the championship host the All-Star game the following season. This wouldn't work for football becuase the Pro Bowl is always in Hawaii. But I think it would be really cool to have that type of system in, ideally, hockey or basketball.

I don't know. I don't think so.

Speed competition is up first.

[PokerPacker]

here comes the breakaway

[Springfield]

Andrew Cogliano of the Edmonton Oilers wins the speed competition. No Ovie.

But here comes Ovie for the next event.

[Springfield]

Ovie is up next I believe.

[ACW]

:rotflmao:

[Sticksboi05]

Hahahah. Ovechkin...

[MonkFan8]

LOL, totally underwhelming but whatever.

That thing with Ovie and Malkin was hilarious. Maybe they kissed and made up?

[Duckus]

Cant watch - please post details on what Alex does!
