Breaktime! Everyone To The Water Cooler!
Sweet Tea, Barbecue, and Bodychecks — Yay, everyone gets a week off in observance of the annual train wreck high-school popularity contest that is the All-Star Game–and in honour of the event Versus has put together this nice little video for us. I really shouldn’t watch because I think that letting the fans vote is a complete crock, and I’ll undoubtedly bitch about the beer-league level of play come Monday, but I’ll watch anyway because by Sunday at 6 I’ll be so hockey-starved that I’ll even watch boring-ass no-check women’s hockey on Oxygen (Memo to the IIHF: We’re not made of porcelain, it’s OK to let us hit each other). Well that and I want to see if anyone will finally beat Al Iafrate’s slapshot ...

Interesting All Star facts
skate2stick.com 1/26/2008 — The 56th NHL All-Star Game takes place Sunday at Philips Arena in Atlanta (6 p.m. ET, Versus, CBC, RDS, NHL Radio). The game has evolved quite a bit from the early days, when defense and goaltending dominated.

NHL All Star Game Rating Up a Bit

If you remember, last season's All Star game was held mid-week. This season's slight rise in rating probably has to do with the fact it was on the Sunday before the Super Bowl, where there was no major competition.

NHL To Shutter All-Star Game? Good God, NO!!!

NHL All-Star Game: All-Star Bust — Bleacher Report
