Teemu got his 651st goal by the end of the night.

 Little Danny Briere put on his big boy pants and got in his third ever fight and had a hat trick to boot.

Shane Doan got his first hat trick EVER with .o1 to go – YES and the Coyotes have really needed SOMETHING to get their party started.

And faster than you can say “Excuse me but does this stick in the face make me look fat?” the PA put the hammer down on the realignment and the Blue Jackets have fired their coach. Whew. There was a crap load of exciting hockey happening this weekend and I didn’t even cover Corey Perry’s hat trick  – wait I just did.

So if you missed any of it, I suggest you watch the above because it was pure hockey magic. A banner weekend of nuggeted hockey gold wrapped tightly like a firecracker that exploded a little late for the new year but we’ll take it any way!

And what better way to showcase them, than with the always fun Super Skills Competition.

So here are the results…

• Faster Skater – Michael Grabner (14.238 seconds)
• Breakaway – Alexander Ovechkin (38.5% of the fan votes).
• Accuracy – Daniel Sedin (4 for 4 in 7.3 seconds)
• Skills Challenge Relay – Team Lidstrom (2:09)
• Hardest Shot – Zdeno Chara, 105.9mph (4th consecutive win AND he beat his own record)
• Elimination Shoot-Out – Corey Perry

and some of our favorite moments…

• PK Subban stealing Jeff Skinner’s jersey

Oh look Jeff Skinner...heeeeeyyyyyyy wait a second...

• Jeff Skinner. The Justin Bieber of the NHL.  I wish he could be my prom date.

Definitely out WAY past his curfew

• Timmy Thomas vs. Cam Ward in the Fastest Skater.  In full equipment.
• Timmy’s wipe out behind the net. But he got right back up with the ever-present smile on his face.

• Toews’ Accuracy Mulligan and *derp* face through the whole competition

• Marc-Andre Fleury. The jumping jacks.  Stacking the pads on Ovechkin. The dancing.  Everything.  We love him.  As far as we are concerned, he won the entire Skills Competition.

and 1...and 2...and 3

• Finding out that Anze Kopitar speaks English.  And has no accent.
• Those wee tiny nets in the Skills Relay.  sotiny

What are those? Hockey nets for ANTS?

• The new-found love between Alex Ovechkin and Kris “Look at My Hair” Letang

Love is in the air...

• Zdeno Chara‘s slap shot.  Faster than a speeding bullet.

If I saw this, I would curl up into the fetal position and cry for my mother.

• Last but not least – Patrick Sharp, ASG 2011 MVP.

Looking better than any hockey player has a right to
