By now you’re probably aware that the NHL All Star weekend format has been changed. The NHL first of all is organizing the teams according to division, meaning there will be four. Secondly, the four teams will play in a three-on-three format reminiscent of the new overtime rule.
Earlier the big brouhaha surrounding the All Star weekend was that fans got to vote in whichever NHL player they wanted, even if he wasn’t technically star material. Fans proceeded to vote in enforcer John Scott from the Arizona Coyotes to captain the Pacific Division. The NHL masterminded a trade to oust Scott from the festivities, but they were no match to a social media storm.
