The Eastern Conference won the NHL All Star Game this year in Atlanta. My hometown favorite Ilya Kovaluchuk didn’t score a goal, but we are still proud of him. Marian Hossa did talley one for the East and he was the 2nd Thrasher to be on this years team. It was a fun game to watch and very close. I was a little disappointed at the skills competition the previous night. I thought VS did a horrible job covering the event. Their announcers didn’t seem to know what was going on and it made it very difficult to follow. Maybe ESPN can get next year’s all star festivites and be better prepared than the guys from VERSUS was.
There were a lot of famous people watching the All Star Game in Atlanta. I saw Garth Brooks there and he was helping raise money for charities. It was a very fun weekend with the NHL in town. I hope that the NHL will select Atlanta in the near future to host a future all star event. From all that I am hearing now; it seems Atlanta was successful in holding the event this year. Ok, I guess the NBA All Star Weekend is just around the corner and I can’t wait to watch that out in New Orleans. The NHL and NBA has the best All Star events and baseball would be third with the homerun derby. The NFL hasn’t quite figured out a way to put on a great All Star event like the other sports have.
