There is a simple fix to the All Star game, but it will never happen.

NHL vs KHL

Pride would be on the line with the KHL players wanting to prove themselves.

Won`t happen though because the NHL would not want to help legitimize a competitor. Also, if it was too competitive the injury risk would be a concern. Played once every few years I believe it would be an interesting and entertaining game.

The Olympics is the allstar game we deserve.

There's nothing to fix. The all star game isn't for diehards. It's for children and casual fans to see the best players in the league scoring goals.

The All Star game is for softball questions and boot licking. Happened to watch Renaud Lavoie interview Claude Giroux yesterday and cringeworthy doesn't begin to describe it. Seeing the rest of the TVA Spanre crew gushing and pinching themselves over a free trip in a warm location, is too much to bear.

And for charity...sucks Gibson laid an egg tonight.

Glad I didn't watch the ASG, last one I watched was the one in Montreal and the one with John Scott.

They don't even have the old-timers' game anymore don't they?

I watched the second half of Pacific VS Central and it felt like a technical demo with NBC showing all their CGI gizmos. Those big boxes above the players with their name and some stats was UGLY.

This is not hockey. Stop this crap and lets have a world cup every 2 years.

Imagine baseball playing the game with 5 players instead of 9. Or pitchers not allowed to throw anything but changeups?


This is not a celebration of the game.. its a mochery of the game. Poor people paying big bucks for this crap.
