Read the room, USA Hockey

The 2024 NHL All-Star game is this weekend. Every year, there is seemingly a new memorable moment for fans and players to look back on.

Hate Tom Wilson all you want but he deserves to be an NHL All-Star
There are few names that drum up hockey fans at large with such visceral rage as Tom Wilson. His introduction to the league has been well-documented as a young, tough, ultra-physical, trash-talking specimen Capitals’ fans adore. The rest of the league’s fans, not so much. Especially in Boston and Ne...

John Tortorella Says He's Skipping All-Star Game To Take Care Of Sick Pit Bull

Here Are Your NHL All-Star Teams
The All-Star rosters are out, and they’re pretty good because they were chosen by the NHL and not the fans (who did get to vote for the four division captains: Carey Price, Sidney Crosby, P.K. Subban, and Connor McDavid)....
NHL Announces Plans To Prevent Fun In The Future
The story that most emphatically broke past the hockey world last year was the unlikely ascent of John Scott from anonymous enforcer on the fringes of the NHL to MVP of the NHL All-Star Game. Fans decided to mobilize and elect a nobody as an all-star captain, and he scored a pair of goals in the gam...
John Scott Scores Two Goals In NHL All-Star Game, Wins MVP Trophy
John Scott—whom the NHL tried its hardest to keep out of the All-Star Game and who is not even currently in the NHL—brought the Nashville crowd to its feet after scoring two goals for his Pacific team in the first game. A Corey Perry goal proved to be the sole scoring in the second game, as Scott le...
Here Are Some GIFs From Last Night's NHL All-Star Skills Competition
You probably missed last night’s NHL All-Star Skills competition, an event that is as interesting and fun as the NFL Pro Bowl is boring and spirit-sucking.

Can You Identify The "Celebrities" Who Will Be Coaching The NHL All-Star Game?
The NHL added a little wrinkle to its (very cool!) new All-Star Game structure. The four 3-on-3 squads representing each division will be coached by an actual NHL coach (Gerard Gallant, Lindy Ruff, Darryl Sutter, and Barry Trotz) as well as, uh, well, hmm, one of ... these guys above here?...
John Scott, Who's Been Waived Three Times This Year, Will Start The NHL All-Star Game
A few weeks ago, we told you about John Scott’s unlikely lead in NHL all-star fan voting. Despite being a fairly anonymous dude, and getting cut by the Coyotes a few times this year, Scott held onto his lead and has officially been voted into the game, and will start as one of the four captains, alo...
The NHL All-Star Game Is Moving To 3-On-3
The NHL All-Star Game will drop the “fantasy draft” format and switch to a 3-on-3 mini-tournament, according to TSN’s Bob McKenzie, who says the league will officially announce the format later today. It could be fun! It could be really boring, just like every other iteration. ...
Let's All Get Wasted At Patrick Kane's Coming-Out Party
Sidney Crosby suffered a neck injury, we were told. It was supposedly separate from his concussion issues, and announced by someone with the ominous title of neurological spine specialist, but we were reassured that it was fully healed. Nothing about that terse Penguins release was reassuring. Crosb...

This Should Answer The Question Of Whether Alex Ovechkin Regrets Skipping The All-Star Game
Back when it looked like Alexander Ovechkin might not be named to the All-Star Game, he told a reporter he wouldn't be disappointed "because I'm going to go straight up to vacation somewhere." But he did make the roster, and also managed to get himself suspended for three games. So he decided no All...
