The NHL’s poppy All-Star Game music choices are actually good

The NHL finished off announcing the music lineup that’ll accompany the 2017 All-Star Game in Los Angeles on Monday, and it’s an appropriately star-studded group full of some of the biggest names in pop. Nick Jonas, Fifth Harmony and Carly Rae Jepsen joined a slate that already included John Legend and others.

In classic public relations speak, the league brought up how thrilled it was with the artists assembled for the weekend. "We are pleased with the incredible lineup of entertainment that we put together,” Steve Mayer, NHL chief content officer, said.

Now, these names naturally got some mockery, because it’s the NHL and the league gets some mockery pretty much anytime it does anything.
