Ok Ill get the first one first, the price will probably be low anyways.

Yeah, the biggest motive for the all star game in any sport is to make more money. The league will say it's a game for the fans and all that, which it somewhat can be, but it won't happen unless there's an opportunity to make money lol. I'm all for the league making more money and gaining positive exposure, but charging you just so to allow you to buy something is really lame lol. I'm more ticked off at how the voting was done and that Lidstrom and Datsyuk are going to be suspended 1 game for not showing up in Montreal. The whole system of representatives from each team is ridiculous as well. I hate the Red Wings, but I have nothing but respect for the organization since they're just so damn successful lol. It's an absolute joke that there are no Red Wings players going to the All-Star game. I'm VERY happy that Patrick Marleau is going because he actually deserves the honor, but having Marleau go instead of say Zetterberg goes against the system of representing all of the teams. The system doesn't make sense.CJL182
The red wings have no representatives since the two players that were chosen arent going.
Its an ok console, but it depends on you. I have one console and its more than enough for me and even though there are some games that i would like to play but cant. Anyhow its free so no matter what you do its a win win situation.
So I live in Montreal and today I went to visit the installations of the NHL allstar game and I can say that it is ridiculous. Its only one huge scam to make money off of people. You have tents that you must pay 15$ to enter but all thats inside are stores selling hockey jerseys and otehr derived products and loads of people selling cards and pins. These 'celebrations' are just ways to get more money off the fans, not a way to thank them like it should be.
Also the ticket prices are ridiculously high and most of the players dont even want to show up in order to have a break or to not get injured (that I can understand though.
As much as I appreciate the skill tests and the game I beleive that this event should not exist anymore as it is solely an event to make money, not an event for the fans.
