This is the first year I’ve watched the NHL all star game. It was something resembling, but not quite, hockey.

The first game was lame, the second game was excellent and the final game was good but not great.

I love the 4v4 format as well as the mini-tournament. Last year’s All-Star game(s) were the best I’ve ever seen in any sport.
