i like the concept of this, but maybe it should be a card that's unknown or smaller targets. I don't think whoever planned this did not consider how accurate the players can shoot.
I feel like if it was a smart board that mixes the cards between every shot it would be nice, the player would have let's say 3 seconds from the time he sees the cards to shoot... it would make it interesting
@@MrJabez89 I think they need to have sets of cards for each player instead of a whole deck of 52 to shoot at. that way nobody gets eliminated because "theres no more aces" lol. Give the player 3 pucks to make 21 in card sets of 4, completely randomized. Along with busts, the lowest score at the end of each round will be eliminated to keep the game moving.
I know it was so damn stupid, 🤣..they were shooting like 100%, but just because they ran out of Aces they couldn't go lol. Auston's face said it all lmao. He was like wtf??
Didn't think it through? My friend, there are only a certain amount of cards in a deck lol. Hitting those 4 aces meant face cards were left, the same way they would in blackjack lol. Let's just keep tossing aces up and rig the deck though so people can go for 100 rounds LOL
I'm sure it's like a lot of things, instead of consulting with someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to hockey, some suit behind a desk comes up with an idea about something he's never done or been a part of.
This was without a doubt the dumbest damn set up ever.. Auston Matthew's and Tkachuk were still in and shooting accurate as hell, but just cuz there were no more Aces they couldn't go anymore lmao. Austons look said it all.. he was like wtf? Okay? Lmao
Well they didn't even keep the rules consistent in the first place. They established that if any players got a blackjack after the first round of shooting, they won or headed to a tiebreaker. Both Pavs and Kadri got blackjacks and they were just like, "Okay everyone gets a shot at getting a 21 now" which was just nonsense. And then they made up the whole thing about the Aces and Matthew's and Tkachuk got eliminated because they couldn't shoot at anything, it was so poorly planned and executed
the idea was nice, but they didn't consider how accurately these players can shoot at such a big target. would've been better if the cards were faced backwards and unknown like gambling.
That is what I thought it would be when I read about this contest earlier. Who gets to choose their cards in Blackjack? I still enjoyed the accuracy though. I'd be lucky to hit any of the cards at all.
@@andrewpersaud4144 because blackjack is a game of chance and you already have the accuracy contest every year, if they are turned around you still have to be accurate enough to hit the cards but you have no idea what your hitting so say you're at 13, it makes it alot riskier to shoot that next shot and adds a level of unpredictability to the game. Cuz honestly anyone in the ECHL can probably hit those targets
@@Cfp-sx2vs I don't see that being fun to watch. You and me can go shoot random cards then since no accuracy involved don't need NHL players. I just find it cringe having 5 all star nhl players standing there shooting without knowing what card they're getting. It was fun seeing them call the card they're hitting and then snipe it. Also the icing on the cake here is they're sharing cards. The final round was a bit of a joke eliminating people because of a supply problem lol. If you make it "chance" everyone needs their own deck so to speak.
@@andrewpersaud4144 nah they wouldn't need there own deck because all the aces wouldn't have been the first targets and I think you are over estimating the difficulty of this, I bet that a good player in the ECHL can hit these no problem.
They literally just ignored the rules that they came up with. Matthew's, Tkachuk, and Stamkos should have been eliminated after that first round because Kadri and Pavelski each got the Blackjack. It should have been a shooting contest between Pavelski and Kadri at that point. I guess they didn't think through how short of a competition this would be an needed to drag it out for the extra views, what a joke 🙄
I can't believe noone is asking about those lighted pucks, I don't care about anything else, I'm only here because I thought I'd find an answer, I can't find any info on those pucks, I need one in my life, that's awesome for late night hockey on the lake
8:46 at first I thought that shrug by Brady pissed Matthews off but now I think he was was like "oh I'm out cause there are no cards left that's stupid and against my competitive nature"
Hi guys, everything is very cool done. It's a pity that only YOU do this and only there... across the ocean. Living in the Russian outback, I'm waiting for winter to come off to the full with skates, clubs, pucks. Thanks for the video.
They did it wrong, if they were playing by the rules they stated before the game even started, then only Pavelski and Kadri should of faced off in a tie breaker.. they kept letting everyone else try and get to 21 lol
This was fun for me, lighthearted style, not an intense challenge, but still it is cool for hanging with the players... which should tell us that to improve this lighthearted format there could be more chatting and hosts engaging the players, a little bit like some party games with friends style, who's line is it anyway stuff too etc. Obviously if we're looking for intense skills challenge this isn't it.
Remember when the Vegas expansion team weren't allowed to name themselves the 'Aces' because of its relation to gambling? Glad we nipped that in the bud.
Hire me next year, ill get replays, make it so players aren't out for no reason and add a visualizer, plus an x factor to make it exciting. Love the concept though. I'm not kidding about hiring me
A couple things I noticed about this challenge: 1) The lights were not getting broken, at least not when the aces were getting hit. The same set of lights flashed every single time an ace was hit. 2) They 100% ignored the Blackjack rule. Pavelski & Kadri got blackjack, so the shooting should have ended for anyone who hadn't already banked an ace or a card worth 10. Instead, they let them all keep shooting to try to get 21. Of course they were all very likely to eventually get to 21. The point was to get a blackjack and then have those players do shoot-offs until 1 is victorious. At the end of the day, the NHL wanted to pander to the Vegas theme, created a halfway thought out, one-off event and nobody on the production team bothered to mention to the announcers that lights would flash on ace hits, nor remind them about the blackjack rule when they forgot about it. So instead of a cool, unique, and well executed Vegas themed event, they got the event equivalent of a shart. 🤷♂️ Better luck next time, NHL.
I feel like if it was a smart board that mixes the cards between every shot it would be nice, the player would have let's say 3 seconds from the time he sees the cards to shoot... it would make it interesting. ( it would have to be one solid smart board though🤣)
You got some of the best guys on here for accuracy and decide they decide to put them in this game. Kind of boring, should have put them in accuracy shots
So weird, I noticed there is something wrong with the color of Pavelski's sweater. So, I adjusted the colors of my monitor, and now everyone has purple faces.

But if it was random cards, it really isn't a skills competition.

Make the cards a little smaller and put the cards on a spinning wheel or spinning spiral?
@@tkirchmann - that would be good.

And Matthews & Tkachuk are eliminated because we didn't think this competition through at all.
I know it was so damn stupid, 🤣..they were shooting like 100%, but just because they ran out of Aces they couldn't go lol. Auston's face said it all lmao. He was like wtf??
Wonder if the NHL's CBA negotiations are as bad as their fan experience planning.

Typical Canadian team luck lmao
@@thegamersparadise ... maybe they shouldn't have sucked in the first round?
Not the brightest idea putting the lights in the back 😂
You could almost say the longer the game went on, the less brighter it got :p
@@Amm17ar a little too on the nose brother
if they do it next year they should put the lights behind a metal cage or something lol
@@agnesharley5655 I doubt it, pretty sure this was a Vegas exclusive
or some netting between there 🙈
Engelland was so exciting he almost yawned
Gotta love having 7th defecman scrubs talk
he was more excited at the meet and greet he had at a t mobile
crowd going nuts in this event
Loved when Pavelski told them to respect their elders after his win.
It's almost like these guys are REALLY good. All of them getting 21 and taking out lights while they are at it.
“They were talking some smack” they ALL look at Tkachuk hahahah
Should’ve had Evander out there. Hear he’s good with cards
Last I heard, he wasn't
This is great lmaoo
@@ashton7138 🤣🤣
Literally asked Matthew's four times what he was going for and he kept answering until he got annoyed lmao
I like that king of spades right there
It never fails to amaze me how badly thought out and run these all star weekends are, complete amature hour.
I'm sure it's like a lot of things, instead of consulting with someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to hockey, some suit behind a desk comes up with an idea about something he's never done or been a part of.
These guys can really shoot accurately.
Crazy how accurate these professional players can shoot
Pavelski is the type of guy you want to have a beer with
Strange but I definitely agree
@@wallen.h no just strange.
Unless your Doug Wilson
@jaconymans not strange at all to want to have a beer with someone..
@@Swolteam Why is it strange? I want to have a beer with you and I have no idea who you are.
Maybe i just really want to have a beer. 🤷♂️

I agree with you on that... I thought the same when I saw Matthew's face lol
Worst ever! Hopefully never see that again
the idea was nice, but they didn't consider how accurately these players can shoot at such a big target. would've been better if the cards were faced backwards and unknown like gambling.
Evander Kane would’ve been good at this
Lmfao
Imagine if Vegas had picked him up instead of Edmonton. 😃
ROFL!!!
I was so confused the whole time
Mad respect to Pavelski for trying to make it entertaining! I get the players know they could’ve set it up better but you gotta make the best of it
Man Pavelski is the perfect player for this! Great attitude, lots of fun, plus just a dirty ol shot on'em as well!
Competition concept is cool but idk it just kinda felt like a backyard BBQ more than a Vegas event 😂
Thank you for posting this video.
I was having hell trying to fall asleep. This was wonderful.
They should have had the cards turned around would have made it more about chance like Blackjack is supposed to be
That is what I thought it would be when I read about this contest earlier. Who gets to choose their cards in Blackjack? I still enjoyed the accuracy though. I'd be lucky to hit any of the cards at all.
Why would you do that? It's skills comp, the accuracy shooting ties in with the vegas theme

Man I miss Kadri and his big, goofy smile. Glad he’s thriving in Colorado.
Same my buddies laughed when we seen kadri having fun and not just seeing red lol
Probably fun as hell to play but wtf….

It was all in good fun. There was literally nothing on the line, nothing to lose lol....Whatcha so worked up about?
relax karen
Gabriel is definitely the guy that yells at a 7 yr old and gets the rulebook when he's losing at Monopoly
At least Pavs still won, he deserved it.
This is amazing 👍
As a Lightning fan, not surprised at all to see Stammer come out with a slap shot 😂😂😂
If Evander Kane played this, his great grandkids would still be paying his debt.
This is a good game ngl I'd love to try playing this
Stam: I don’t wanna be here all night I been in Florida for 14 years I’m freezing lol
this is boring asf holy lol
Literally falling asleep
Evander Kane wishes Blackjack was this easy
This is a cool concept for a skills game like it
I can't believe noone is asking about those lighted pucks, I don't care about anything else, I'm only here because I thought I'd find an answer, I can't find any info on those pucks, I need one in my life, that's awesome for late night hockey on the lake
Pavelski was so good. Wow.
Man they got jerry what a beauty
Almost felt like they were playing golf.
8:46 at first I thought that shrug by Brady pissed Matthews off but now I think he was was like "oh I'm out cause there are no cards left that's stupid and against my competitive nature"
Anybody else notice Kadri sticking the finger at somebody? LMAO..
0:48
Surprised he wasn’t elbowing anyone in the head.
You really think he would stick up the middle finger on live tv
Would've liked it if the higher value cards were smaller. Like darts going for triples is high risk, but high reward.
Yup, makes sense
Evander Kane would of won
*would HAVE
Looking at his gambling debts he probably would have been 1st out
@@mickeywicked478 LOL! Thank you! "Would have", or "would've". "Would of" is not a thing.
@@carletonrutherford1799 I don’t typically correct folks...”would of” is just plain egregious.

This might’ve been the best competition
This was so awesome. So fun! ♦️ ♠️
This is such a cool idea.
Kadri look Almost Happy to be with Matthew's
Kadri looks Sik in the Colarodo. Gear having a great year Bless 🙏😉
You need Evander Kane on this event if your looking for a perfect score 👌
Auston Matthews and Brady Tkachuk got robbed by the shooting order
The NHL Organizers didn't think this one through at all.. bruh lol, did u see Auston's face when they said he was out, lmao.. he was like wtf? How? 🤣
Don't think they got robbed since they took so long to get to 21 but ya it's stupid.
How? Matthews shot first?
They did it wrong, if they were playing by the rules they stated before the game even started, then only Pavelski and Kadri should of faced off in a tie breaker.. they kept letting everyone else try and get to 21 lol

Naz and Auston next to each other, makes me smile. :) Altough Naz is wearing a to me mysterious jersey :D
That's it, I'm buying a Pavelski Jersey!!
Remember when the Vegas expansion team weren't allowed to name themselves the 'Aces' because of its relation to gambling? Glad we nipped that in the bud.
NHL is getting addicted to this gambling revenue.
I LIKE THE VIDEO BUT IT MIGHT HAVE NEEDED SMALLER TARGETS SO IT WORLD BE MORE FUN TO WATCH AND IT WON'T BE SO EASY
Hire me next year, ill get replays, make it so players aren't out for no reason and add a visualizer, plus an x factor to make it exciting. Love the concept though. I'm not kidding about hiring me
“I got an idea, let’s make it impossible for the viewers to see wtf is going on”
And they did it. Good work!
tbh at least they tried to get some recognition by being on ESPN but the game itself on Saturday will be either a really good game or a lay off fest

This was cool
that was very impressiv
Shoulda been 3 shots each whoever gets or gets closest to 21 wins going over was completely pointless given the name of the competition
Stamkos with the sass to Gerry Dee I"m cold I don't wanna be here all night
The best part of this game was the clear outcome.

This is better than the accuracy shooting
You got some of the best guys on here for accuracy and decide they decide to put them in this game. Kind of boring, should have put them in accuracy shots
You mean 01-02 because the quality is 720p.... What is this?
Brutal.
Had to stop after the first round..... side show !!!
Suggested tweak to this: First shot cards are backwards so there's some randomness to it and they play against a dealer hand
Nhl Allstar competition has reached a new LOW!
which one are u calling here
auston: whatever.. the one right in front of me!
me: THEYRE ALL IN FRONT OF U!!!
The Ace of ♠️ is higher value than the Ace of ❤️, ♦️ or clubs there was no point of dragging it out
The Comet Light Up Hockey Puck
on Auston Matthews's nhl card it says hes 6 ft 3. Brady is 6 ft 3 he's 6ft 2. you could see the height difference between Matthews and Tkachuk
STAMMER.."HEY GERRY...WHY DONT YOU STAND IN FRONT OF ONE OF THESE".
Matthews in playoff form already.
Derek over there lookin like Justin Timberlake here😄
Still better than the breakaway challenge.
Felix lighting is crying right now
poorly thought out, some great alternate ideas in these comments though and it coulda been super cool
Wish there was no commentary and they just played the player mic’s
Something new..
Stamkos going for that 5-card monty
how many lights did these guys take out LOL
Evander Kane would've been great at it
Can’t believe they though this that would save the all star’s draw of fans 😂
Matthews is slowly looking like his buddy Bieber more and more.
Джо 🤘
This competition really shows the skill of NHL players. All of them got 21
So weird, I noticed there is something wrong with the color of Pavelski's sweater. So, I adjusted the colors of my monitor, and now everyone has purple faces.
Does anyone else remember when the NHL shot down "The Aces" as the Vegas team name because they didn't want to associate the league with gambling?
Everybodys talkin bout my tight pants, about my tight pants! I got my tight pants on!
Any reason they changed the old format of east vs west in the all star? This seems dumb
