This is possibly my favourite ASG past-time.
Definitely my favorite thing to watch from the all star game.

1st game was fun. Even at half speed there was some really good athleticism displayed. Nice goals too.

Now hopefully the Pacific takes out the central.

Ron McLean is so dumb. It’s almost astonishing how bad Bettman schools him every year.

Bettman just sits there denying all the problems, and Ron is too much of a pushover to grill him or call him out on his delusional statements.

I don’t think any of that will attract new viewers.

I do like the boards though and the goal graphics have potential. Goal scored, lights go down, boards all turn red with flames. I could see that being awesome...until someone fired a wide slapped and smashed the display.
I don't think Sportsnet is willing to adopt any of the new technology for their broadcasts. It probably requires quite a bit of investment and I just don't see them being ready to pump any more money into the product. NBC on the other hand will probably be all over it.
