I give mad props to the guys. its much harder than it looks.

though I can understand people watching that and think its very boring. But the difference is these guys have under 1 second to make these split decisions. whether its racing down for the puck, doing a saucer pass thats 50+ft on the other guys tape avoiding other players. dangle/juke around players while having control of the puck..

and my favorite, the targets - which i still think they need to change, whether the targets move, or they random appear 1 at a time. and I also think they should be moved half an inch to an inch to the corner between the crossbar/post. my favorite shots i practice is hitting the crossbar/post corner, then it bounces the puck inside the net. but I do this from the blue line wrist/slap. And I don't like how close they shoot from. in a real game, that's almost not even a shooting lane.

and I didn't get the shootout, they were allowed 3 shots? if so I would have done the ol slap pass it to yourself off the board and hit it out of the air in the net.

if not I think they should just get rid of it. its embarassing to watch..

I wish the NFL still had this at the pro bowl.

It was always the best part.

while most of the breakaway challenge ones were really lame, Rav's example is just as lame.

and isn't it more about entertainment and flash combined with skill.
though Price making the backwards save was pretty cool!
too bad he SUCKED THE BIG SUCK in the shootout section!

if they changed the targets to THE corner, it would be lame and boring as there would be miss after miss...the NHL players are not as skilled as ACF's own Rav

pretty much everything sucks about the Pro Bowl now.
as if the game wasn't meaningless as it is, now starters sit out...and this whole Tweet zone is just pathetic.

I thought I heard they are doing that during the Super Bowl


I hope I was wrong and they actually said the pro bowl , and not the Super Bowl
