Re: How to fix the NHL All-Star Game
Agree with Eric above, but take it one step further. Start All-Star weekend off with skills competitions in each teams cities, then take winners to ASG for a true best/fastest/hardest competition.
Revenue would be a win too. Every city has a skills competition and sells tix.

Re: How to fix the NHL All-Star Game
Contact sport all star games are always going to resemble something else. None of them want to get hurt and lots of them are just there to get through it (likely a good chunk would prefer the time off).
The more contact involved in the sport the less it will translate to the actual sport in an all star game.
The last thing the league/players/owner/gms/coaches want is a serious injury at one of these shows.
Some good ideas mentioned but I don't think you can really change the way the all star game is played by the players in a sport like hockey.
Set roster weekly in H2H (Mon to Sun) - 16 Teams - start 6F, 3D, and 1G per week - Keep 2

C. McDavid, N. Kucherov, R. O'Reilly, J. Schwartz, J. Toews, J. Huberdeau, T. Toffoli, M. Granlund

Re: How to fix the NHL All-Star Game
I don't think my suggestions change the way the game is played... it does expose the NHL safely into new markets and the effort levels should increase. having players play with intensity and passion would change the product on the ice. The biggest complaint is the lack of effort or passion. Players take their charities seriously... they'd put full effort out... if not the full game... a full 3rd periodOriginally Posted by MZac
