ANAHEIM – There’s no debating last weekend’s NHL All-Star Game in Nashville was a resounding success. The John Scott story had as much to with that as anything, but to the players involved, the league finally figured out how to make the game competitive with the three-on-three tournament and $1 million purse.
Shockingly, the final game between the Pacific and Atlantic Division All-Stars brought with it just one goal in 20 minutes of game play, coming from Anaheim’s Corey Perry.
The Ducks’ elite scorer said that the game was “definitely” more competitive than years past.
“I thought it was great,” Perry said.
