Hardest shot.

Get dressed up to go somewhere. If I can't wear jeans and a t-shirt, I really don't want to go there.

Christmas. Taboo. Sucked.

Not a fan.

1. What's your favorite NHL Skills Competition event?
I don't really remember what all they do... the trickshots are fun, I guess.
2. What's one thing that you absolutely hate to do that most people don't mind, or even like, to do?
Going a place... to do a thing... with people.
3. When's the last time you actually sat down and played a board game?
Like all rowdy young people, I played some pretty cutthroat Risk on New Year's. And won.
4. What are your thoughts on the high five?
I had a friend who would do so semi-compulsively, to anyone, at anytime, as a way of greeting... so... that was odd, I guess.
5. Who is/was your favorite Looney Tunes character?
They're all pretty great - Wile E Coyote, the little gopher guys with the British accents, The bulldog always tasked with protecting the impossibly cute kitten, Sylvester, Pepe Le Pew, and maybe in particular - Ralph the Wolf and Sam the Sheepdog.

1. What's your favorite NHL Skills Competition event?
I honestly can't recall many of them anymore....I'd have to say the breakaway relay.
2. What's one thing that you absolutely hate to do that most people don't mind, or even like, to do?
Hiking is pretty freaking lame. I'd rather just hit the gym / go for a run. Waste all that energy just to a top of a freakin mountain then wooooo back down you go. Clubbing is very overrated as well.
3. When's the last time you actually sat down and played a board game?
I think this was.......I can't recall.
4. What are your thoughts on the high five?
When two people are able to use the "high-five" effectively, it's awesome. When you fail at it, well, just go re-watch Pat's video, it can be downright awful / embarrassing.
5. Who is/was your favorite Looney Tunes character?
Tazzmanian Devil.

2. What's one thing that you absolutely hate to do that most people don't mind, or even like, to do?
towel off after a shower.
3. When's the last time you actually sat down and played a board game?
all the time. played an intense game of shoots-n-ladders with the nippers yesterday. lost in a heartbreaker.
4. What are your thoughts on the high five?
we as a people are getting better at them with our new found variations and choreographed moves. i wonder what the future will hold. maybe we can get the shoulder involved somehow?
5. Who is/was your favorite Looney Tunes character?
Daffy Duck and Yosimite Sam stand out, but you gotta a lot to chose from. Bugs and Porkey can be pretty funny, and that Wile E Coyote is just sick

1. It's not really an all-star event but it should be. The CHL Prospects game I saw had 10 minutes of 3-on-3 hockey, with whistles blown to change shifts every 40 seconds. It was fast and brutal and especially amusing when the shift change came at an inopportune time for one of the teams.
2. Hate is a strong emotion, man. But I don't like coffee, beer or clubbing for the sake of it (although I don't think most people actually like the latter).
3. I played Settlers roughly a year ago and can't remember if I played anything else since then.
4. It is a thing.
5. I feel bad about Sylvester's inability to catch that annoying fucker tweety bird. And who doesn't enjoy Pat Boone's rousing rendition of 'Speedy Gonzales'?
