Anyone hoping the NHL All-Star Skills Competition would continue the hilarity and entertainment from the All-Star Draft on Friday should not be disappointed. The event was just as fun, impressive and (occasionally) wacky as expected.
NHL Skills Competition 2015: Team Foligno pleases home crowd, beats Team Toews
It was a fun night for Team Foligno.
Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports
It was also a rout. Team Foligno broke out to a huge lead through two events and never looked back, eventually beating Team Toews 25-19. It was a nice win for Nick Foligno and Ryan Johansen in front of their home crowd.
Especially since Johansen wore a Ohio State Buckeyes jersey for some of it. Now that’s pandering.
