San Jose Nails It as All-Star Host

Blackhawks’ Kane Enjoys 8th All-Star Appearance

But with near-snubs...
Tape2Tape: Marner's Absence & My Annual All-Star Frustration
January 9th, 2019 It seems like we have a conversation about this particular weekend on the NHL’s schedule on a yearly basis - at least I do. I’ve written about previous all-star snubs, whether changes are needed to the NHL All-Star Game and even went as far as questioning whether the NHL should rid itself of the All-Star Game altogether. But...
