"We apologize for the inappropriate language you heard during DJ Snoopadelic's set". Can't believe I just heard that being said by NBC on live television lol…welcome to 2017
Who the hell is that screaming in the background the entire time the players are being announced?! The crowd was so quiet during the intros that it's all you heard!
Tf is up with the boos? What has Fowler done for example? Could someone please explain. I mean it's NHL Skills Competition, they're supposed to have fun out there and not getting booed at, jeez.
It's because Fowler is on the Ducks, which is close to LA and big rival of the Kings. Considering the game is being played in LA, the place is mostly Kings fans so they booed all the players on their rival teams. Which is why all 3 Shark and Kesler got booed as well. It's all out of fun and humor though, the players don't take it seriously. I bet they find it funny and you can see them smiling, its nothing bad or out of disrespect.
Leijonafani Its all fun bro. Its because he is from a California rival team. This is LA and they play for Annaheim.. fans gotta show that LA is the superior California team.
The Ducks and Sharks are not only divisional rivals, but geographical rivals. Of course they're gonna get booed. Chicago too, as they are LA's greatest obstacle to getting another cup. Crosby? Well. it's Crosby, innit. I wanna know why they booed Drew Doughty... lmao.
This All Star was...okay? Shootouts weren't as fun as they were before (Chewbacca Burns, come on guys) but the rest of the events were nice and it was cool to see Martin Jones in net. The one thing I hated though is when the fans in LA decided to boo San Jose and Anaheim. Look, I get it, they're the other California teams, fine. But that's not the point. This is a time of year where all the players get along with each other and have fun, not hate each other! Thankfully, Pavelski and Burns mocked and silenced them respectively so yeah, they got what they deserved. I'm surprised they didn't boo Kesler's kid too while they were at it. Shame on you LA.
ċȏԀʏ ɢȏԀıṅ I was so pissed when they didn't add in the Breakaway challenge. But besides the point, it's basically tradition to boo other teams, especially if they're from the same state or province as you.
It just feels like an unclassy. It's one of those traditions that should die. I hate the Kings and Ducks, but I haven't booed them at any All Stars game because they're in there for a reason
Lemme tell ya, I was there in the crowd. And it was unclassy af. The whole time I was thinking to myself, "We're the Pacific Team altogether right now, people. Bitter much?"
Laney Penn Not "bitter much." These teams only last for 2 days. After that, you're back to being rivals and fighting to win the cup. Those teammates you had in the All-Star game aren't gonna help you achieve that. Fans are competitive, I would know all too well.
Big Boy As a Kings fan I can tell you I hate it. It's kinda embarrassing. We had an amazing announcer for like 2 decades but he died in 2012. :( Now we deal with this dude
I don’t know this year had ok great moments with Boeser and Fluery but 2017 all star was more funny with more great moments ..imo 2018 all star seemed forced with Tampa Lightning’s..
The fact that Marchand looked surprised when everybody booed him said everything about Marchand. Dudes amazing at being a productive menace but damn is he clearly a sith and doesn’t have the clarity to see it lol.
