Although I'm recording it, I couldn't keep watching all of the contrived hoopla at the beginning. What a dog and pony show ffs.

"You ain't seen nothin' like this." You're not kidding NHL, I've never seen such a joke of a "game."

American sports probably lead the world in turning entertainment into money.

The one thing they are absolutely horrendous at is making the 'all-star' or 'alternative' type of game work. Yes, it's fun to imagine rivals playing together, but the way it is packaged in the NFL/NBA and NHL is utterly unpalatable.

A great idea from Australia; they run a 'State of Origin' game where individuals are selected based on where they were born - I think that would work well, especially in hockey.

They need some new ideas, the stuf they trot out at these #All star events would bore me to tears if I catually bothered to watch.

Give people something to be invested in and they'll take the time to watch it.

Crosby and Ovechkin around 2 feet apart sitting on the bench and not interacting with each other. Interesting.
