COLUMBUS, Ohio – The NHL All-Star Game is actually something of a low point for All-Star Weekend. While the other events have been filled with fun and possibly drunken humor, the game itself is nothing short of a total snoozer with players gliding around the ice trading goals.
We got a brief moment of levity when Capitals’ forward Alex Ovechkin tried to start a fake fight after Team Toews scored on goalie Corey Crawford. Is that a fight? It’s hard to tell when all the players in the scrum are adorably laughing and smiling.

Maybe they all just missed each other and need some extra hugs. These guys are having so much fun, it’s a joy to watch.
