Was there in history of NHL (AHL, ECHL ...) All-star games one meeting, that quickly lost the exhibition atmosphere and turned into intensive regular game?
No, I would say the vast majority of fans has no interest in it nowadays. I think the last All-Star game I watched was in about 1997 or something, and that was painful enough.All Star games meant something in the leagues years ago; there was pride involved.
There were actual fights when the NHL Stanley Cup Champions would play the league All-Stars back prior to expansion.
All Star games have gone from enjoyable to complete waste of times over the years, imho.
But they still have them, and people still watch, so I am probably in the minority of people with zero interest in them today.
