Hockey is starting to get so gimmicky now to "attract fans". The shoot-out, 3 on 3, let's make the nets bigger (I think that's coming down the pipe at some point). The NHL needs to learn that at some point they will reach a tipping point that all these alterations to the game will soon push away more fans than in brings in.
I disagree. I think that's one thing baseball has got completely wrong. The thing with baseball is even if the game meant nothing you could still watch a somewhat entertaining game. Even now it's not that entertaining and should definitely not have implications in the World Series.

I think all-star games are horrible in any sport. Announce an all-star "team" at the awards show and scrap the game all together. It's deplorable.
