I don't think there is any way to make an all start competitive. No league has figured it out. But I loved the ASG as a kid. So that's who it's for.
The only idea I ever heard that might work to some degree is you have the defending cup champions play the all star team.

Well, on the other hand, some people around here act as though they have no sense of humour at all.
You are passing judgment on something you obviously have no way of knowing about, that being his actual thoughts
If he was joking, he was joking.
I am not sure that Germans accept only wacky Steve Martin style zaniness as comedy

We’re the MLB all star games where the winner gets home field advantage in the World Series competitive?

I assume the FU is because Tkachuk didn't even acknowledge Leon and skated to the bench? He hurt Leon's feelings.

Not really.
Baseball is probably the best just because the mechanics of the game don't rely on increased physicality and what not.
At the core it's the same - trying to hit ball with bat.

In case anyone missed the Tkachuk family interview last night.

"First [Tkachuk] to get married?"
Brady: Matt
Keith & Matt: Brady
Keith: [Brady's] in love. Matthew's in love, but with himself.

McDavid and Loser Leo were energized by the fact they had a true professional playing defense that could keep up with their skill and play defense at the same time.
By the second game they were looking for Gio, Gio made great passes to each of them and was in the right spot all the time. Leo commented on his goal how great a pass it was an then another log outlet to McDavid. Dare I say Gio forced them to be better defensively (and for a brief minute, gave them their “d”’s back).
McDavid talked about actually working up a sweat and really wanting it at the end, well, thats the way Gio plays all the time. He was ready to block the Pasternak shot at the end, and pulled McDavid and Leon into playing legit defensive game and caring, because Gio cares. And McDavid with the pass back to Rittich, o way he tries that with Koskinen,it will go in glove side.
Wednesday they’ll be back to icing or hospital passes from Nurse and the rest of the motley Crüe they call defenseman.
That hug though at the end...going to take some getting over.

I know that it's the allstar game and no one really plays defence but I thought that it was hilarious when Mcdavid and Draisaitl were back because it genuinely looked like they have no idea what so ever how to play defence.
