    Yeah I agree... I'm not sure there's a format for an All-Star game we would care about.

    Unless they did it at the end of the season and they could afford to actually hit, and the defense can actually play the game. As it stands right now it's just a glorified game of street hockey.

    I doubt changing it to the end of the year would matter. Look at the NFL Pro Bowl...they don't hit or play defense either and that game is at the end of the season

    Yeah, they're back on tomorrow


    I read a pretty spiteful article about the baseball all-star game just the other day I don't follow baseball at all, but from what I read their all-star game sounds pretty boring too

    Probably too great (and too obvious) for the NHL to think about it ....

    It would be a lot better if the All-star game had significance to a particular outcome to the playoffs. Conference winner in the All-star game gets home-ice advantage in the Stanley Cup Finals.

    I disagree. Home-ice advantage in the Finals should be determined by which team was better for a long-ass 82 game season.

    Baseball does that already, it's stupid. At least in baseball they can try hard and have a low risk of being hurt

    If you get guys diving in front of Chara's slapshots for a stupid all-star game because they think it might determine something in the playoffs, someone is going to lose a key player for a dumb fan-pleaser game

    Yeah, I don't think hockey lends itself to a competitive style all-star game...it's better to just bag it completely

    Avs are in St Louis tonight....hopefully they can snap outta the funk they've been in. Andy just isn't the same goaltender this year that he was last year.
