Sadly, we shant be lucky enough to experience Scott Hartnell taking part in the fastest skater event at the NHL Skills Competition tomorrow night. 

This afternoon, the NHL announced participants. The Flyers will contribute thusly:

Scott Hartnell: one-timer left-handed shot in Skills Challenge Relay

Claude Giroux: stick handling in Skills Challenge Relay, and will also be a passer in shot accuracy

Kimmo Timonen: passing accuracy, Skills Challenge Relay, and a shooter in Elimination Shootout

Matt Read: shooting accuracy

Sean Couturier: breakaway challenge, he’s also blogging his also experience for NHL.com. Read it here. 

Full list after the jump. Happy Friday, folks. I'm going to go pass out for the next 14-22 hours… or until something crazy happens, which is often the case at around 7 p.m. on Fridays.
