East team takes All-Star Game, Snoop Dogg on skates

Thankfully, tonight's All-Star game in Atlanta was a better showing than last night's skills competition. For some reason, the skills comp just doesn't have the allure that a slam dunk contest has (obviously). But I think the NHL needs to figure out a way to develop a more entertaining show. Moving targets? Relay race? Maybe take a lesson from the WWE and have a Royal Rumble scrap? That being said, I enjoyed the actual game tonight. Some nice dangles and goals. Columbus' Rick Nash got a hatty with a few beauties, but Carolina's Eric Staal snagged the MVP honours with 3 points. There were some nice saves, like the one San Jose's Evgeni Nabokov made on Atlanta's own Ilya Kovalchuk. In the end, it was former Thrasher and current Bruin Marc Savard who potted one in the last minute to win it for the East. Alright, let's get back to the season...

The Snoop D-O-Double G will hit the ice with the Anaheim Ducks tonight on his E! reality show, "Snoop Dogg's Father Hood." The show features Snoop's son and friends saucin' it around (aka: doing their best to not fall flat on their faces while ankle-skating around the Honda Center) with Anaheim's Ryan Getzlaf, Chris Pronger, and George Parros. He likes the game so much, he's even considering starting a minor hockey league in SoCal! Oh, before I forget...Why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella? Fo Drizzle. Boooooooooooooo.......
