2022 NHL All-Star Skills Competition: Breakaway Challenge

Watch the Breakaway Challenge from the 2022 NHL Skills Competition in FULL, as young studs Kirill Kaprizov, Trevor Zegras, Jack Hughes and Alex DeBrincat put on a show, and veteran defenceman Alex Pietrangelo is just happy to put smiles on his kids’ faces.

I can explain that. They had no idea what had just happened because they were busy talking about mascots throwing dodgeballs. Much like in Saturday's game, where they just bullshitted through the entire thing and made no effort to call plays or identify players.

He wasnt totally blind. If you see his reaction he celebrates for goal before the puck crosses the line, how would he know where he was if he didnt see, and how would he know he scored if he doesnt see where he aims

Zegras is everything this should be, a NHL version of the dunk competition, where the gimmick serves to enhance a cool shot, and people watching at home can take it seriously while having fun, but instead Zegras' *generational* move finishes 3rd to a guy that didnt even shoot and a guy that I'm pretty sure missed the net.

[@Degman17]

wax on the stick blade helps

[@tppolo009]

he puts the puck on edge which gives it a lot more friction on the tape at the end of his stick. then he swings his stick around in a way that keeps the puck in between the blade of the stick and the center of rotation (you're the puck and his stick is that ride that spins you around and you feel like you're stuck to the wall). much, if not all of it, is unnecessary to score, but looks really cool even in a skills competition. two things: this takes a lot of practice to pull off with any consistency, but wouldn't be attempted at game speed. It's perfect for a minimal stakes shootout attempt. He's extremely talented at this stuff (youtube his name and you'll get 2 other amazing plays from this year alone) and loves hockey.

[@MnWildFan]

I feel like this competition is just a guarantee that a home town player wins something. I also think you put all the all star game rookies in this competition cuz they probably will make another or two in the future. Out of all the events for Kaprizov this would be the least likely one for him. Has like 1 breakaway in his career but has so many stellar passes and snipes. I also think they should bring back more skills and less theatrics. Really gonna have 10 minutes of theatrics just for one shot of putting the puck past a goalie not even trying to save it. Would rather watch Patrick Kane dangle though pucks and others doing things a high school player can't do.

[@ajpdeschenes]

Remember when they first did that competition, they would show CGI dangling with the puck in the air to explain the concept, but ultimately Ovechkin won with playing Superman. So since then, theatrics won this competition and it never became what it was supposed to be. At least there are Zegras and others still trying to do create things with the puck. It's very unfortunate he didn't win. He is the only thing people talk about from the whole skill competition and yet, Pietrangelo won over him because of... drums???
