    NHL All-Star Game to comprise 3 20-minute, 3-on-3 games

    NHL All-Star Game to comprise 3 20-minute, 3-on-3 games, sources say

    Changes are indeed afoot for January's NHL All-Star Game at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
    How about three mini-games for the price of one?

    This year's All-Star Game will be three separate 20-minute, 3-on-3 games resulting from a four-team mini-playoff, sources confirmed to ESPN.com.

    TSN's Bob McKenzie was the first to report the news.

    Two teams from the Eastern Conference will play each other while two teams from the Western Conference face off. Then the two winners will meet in the final 20-minute, 3-on-3 game.

    A source told ESPN.com Tuesday that the Friday night player draft is expected to be scrapped because the players apparently didn't want it back.

    no one watches this shit anymore

    a total waste of time

    instead Bettman needs to team up with KHL and have an All-Star game between the two leagues

    could easily quadruple the current audience

    if they are 3 mini games, I wonder how bookmakers will handicap it? It will be interesting. It will be great I am sure.

    have you seen any 3 on 3 OT games this season? Me and every hockey fan I know loves it. Let's see how it is in an all-star game first, then I will judge.
