I don't know Giordano's thoughts on it, but I think this type of event means more to younger players than to older players. Most veterans with wives and/or families at home would probably rather take the few days off to do normy stuff that they usually don't get to do for most of the year. I mean, the NHL wouldn't have to penalize players that choose not to go if it was universally desirable. Younger players looking for attention probably love the dick waving of the ASG.

Personally, I don't think I have watched a full All-Star game in 20 years.
