Colorado Avalanche: A History of All-Star Appearances

Despite the appearance of Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon, I didn’t tune in to the 2018 NHL All-Star Game.

Maybe it’s that most of the players — including the Avalanche’s own Nathan MacKinnon — should have been preparing for the 2018 Winter Olympics around this time. Or perhaps it’s the NHL’s once-again-lackluster attempt at proving they’re hip with Kid Rock featuring as the entertainment. Whatever the case, I’m not interested in whatever turd the league polishes this year, so I figured why not re-visit the real gems of old?

Believe it or not, the NHL used to be pretty rad at putting on an All-Star Game.
