ESPN's 'Unrivaled' two-hour documentary that they broadcast last year on the Avs-Red Wings rivalry in the 90s/00s was a great watch. Highly recommended to anyone who hasn't seen it and can find it somewhere. Really gets into the heart of what made those games so great.

@sooshii yeah I am thanks. Definitely intriguing. Hopefully if it does go ahead it involves at least close to full strength rosters. Preseason is fine and makes sense, but if it ends up just being a bunch of AHLers that'll be disappointing and kill a lot of interest.
Why?
and for those following anything Panthers there's a site called Florida Hockey Now, WHICH covers anything and everything Panthers or in this case All Star related..... remember the Skills are 7 pm Friday on ESPN

Asked what he’d like to see in a new union director, Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk flatly said he “wasn’t going to comment on that.”
Philadelphia Flyers center Kevin Hayes did have something to say. He has a personal connection with Marty Walsh, the former Boston mayor and a fellow Dorchester product. Hayes was bullish on a potential Walsh appointment as executive director of the players’ union beyond the pride of seeing someone from the neighborhood take the reins.
Walsh, United States Secretary of Labor, reportedly is one of the leading candidates to replace Donald Fehr as executive director of the NHLPA.
“He’s a guy my family knows and he’s a great guy,” Hayes said. “I’ve known him a long time. I’ve known people that have worked with him. I don’t know if he’s got the job or not, you probably know more than I do, but I think he’ll do a great job.”
What’s most important to Hayes, who noted Walsh would get his vote, in a new NHLPA leader?
“Someone that has our back,” he said. “There’s situations where we as players need help on the outside, and we need a leader.”
The NHLPA met Thursday to discuss its leadership change.
“The Search Committee met with the Executive Board members earlier today, both in person and over Zoom, regarding the ongoing process to select a new NHLPA Executive Director. While the process is getting closer to completion, we will comment further once we have an announcement to make,” an NHLPA spokesperson said.

My original post mentioned Bettman and his idiot stooges, but I thought that left the owners off the hook.

As an offseason/preseason exhibition it makes sense, but in season it's an overwhelming competitive disadvantage. 14 time zones of jet lag (Boston to Sydney) and ~22 hours of travel time each way is an unfair burden to put on only 2 out of 32 teams in season
