Thoughts…
- 3-on-3 is a way better format for the All-Star game than a full squad. It’s much more entertaining and players don’t half to go all out for the game to be half decent. They’ll never give 100% in an All-Star game, even with a million on the line, but the extra ice allows star players to fool around more.
- Those jerseys are sweet. Sure, the Pacific all-white design looks a little odd on the ice but these are solid. It’s hard to create four jerseys that don’t resemble a team in the NHL. Those Atlantic jerseys are slick.
- Connor McDavid in 3-on-3 is borderline unfair.
- The Tampa Bay Lightning are good and Victor Hedman isn’t even here. They’re going to be scary and they could still add players at the deadline.
- Erik Karlsson sure looks good with real talent around him.
- Brock Boeser wins MVP. His shot is incredible. He’s already fifth in goals for the 2015 draft while playing almost one-third of the games as everyone else in the top five. There’s not many reasons to watch a Vancouver Canucks game. Brock Boeser might be the only one.
