The All-Star game and skills competition usually entails a lot of bias. People get to vote for their own favourite players, they want to see their team’s players succeed and win. So, that’s exactly what I’m doing.

Best Shootout goalie: Knox Booth @Tate. It’s gotta be him. Why? Well, at this point in the season, not only has Booth posted 3 shutouts, he’s also stopped 100% of all shootout attempts against him. Not to mention, he’s also a rookie. So he would definitely go there with a ton of energy and have fun with it. Most of the other goalies have been around, and they probably don’t care very much (If you want the NHL All-Star game, you’ll know). However, Booth is a competitor, and even in an event like this, he’s going to want to win. I’m taking him to be the winner.

Don’t get me wrong, there is a ton of talent there – after all, it is an all star game – but I don’t see how I can go against my own goaltender. He’s an absolute stud and I think if it comes down to this competition, I’m taking Booth to bring home the W.
