Karlsson this year, Rundblad and/or Cowen in the next couple, Lehner after that. It's a start.

The goalie fastest skater was unexpected, but actually pretty funny!

Who were the participants in the fastest skater?

Watching the accuracy competition on a non-widescreen/HD TV sucks. I only saw half the targets for each shooter.

Grabner beat Hall twice.

C Ward beat Thomas, but Thomas fell, almost got back into it.

St Louis just eked out a victory past Kesler.

I believe Stamkos skated against someone too, but i missed it.

In fastest backwards skater, Letang beat Keith.

EDIT: Duchene beat Marc Staal

And Stamkos beat Green.

Is /was Karlsson in anything today?

He's in the next event. It's the team relay.

It apparently new, and incorporates 1 timers, passing, puck control, stick handling and accuracy.

Team Staal a.k.a. Team Karlsson wins!

In the elimination shootout, our boy EK was one of only 12 (6 from each team) to score in the first round. He tried a fancier move in the second round, and lost the puck.

Corey Perry was last man standing, going 3 for 3. St. Louis' 2nd move was pretty incredible.
