5 Things I liked about the 2018 NHL All-Star Game

One: Glenn Healy

I know! That’s unexpected, isn’t it? He seemed to be the only member of the broadcast team that realized that this was for fun. He talked about the players as people, ignored real hockey issues like who was having a good season and who was going to be traded and made some actually funny jokes.

Removed from the devil’s advocate role HNIC used to put him in, he’s very different. The best part was him recognizing Alex Ovechkin’s leadership in ensuring the workers — the equipment staff, trainers, etc. — got in the official photos.
