This year, watching the All-Star festivities on TV isn't as much fun as it was to be at all of the events last year. Tonight we are watching the fantasy draft. I like this idea since it gives us a new way to watch the players interact with each other. I love seeing the players personalities and how some of these guys still act like kids in a schoolyard. This year it seems the crowd is closer to the players and they're actually mean. It's great seeing some of the players get rattled while getting heckled.
My favorite part of the All-Star weekend is the skills competition. The different events show off the incredible talent of the players in a unique way. Getting to see it live last year was more fun than the All-Star game. My favorite part of game day is the introductions. What can I say - I like smoke, laser lights and fanfare.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the 2011 NHL All-Star game in Raleigh, NC:
That was such a fantastic experience last year!!
