Whoever booked the music for the All-Star game did a great job! The Hives played "Tick, Tick, Tick Boom" before the game started and then played music while the players were introduced. Then Kathleen Edwards sang "Oh Canada." The NHL finally hired someone with cool taste in music.
Rick Nash got robbed of a truck. Either Nash or Nabokov should have been MVP of the game. Staal was good, but not better than them.
Overall, I thought the game and the skills competition were great fun. Ovechkin was awesome in the breakaway shootout.
I *loved* hearing what DiPietro and Legace had to say while they were in net. Added so much more to the game.
All the players looked like they were having fun. Kovalchuk falling down after Nabokov stopped him was the best.
Not an All-Star note, but I was overjoyed to see the Spartans beat UM on Friday and then settle for a tie on Saturday. The own goal was unfortunate, but they played two good games.
