Since going to the tournament format, the All-Star Game has made it an effort to showcase the 3-on-3 format that’s used during overtimes in the regular season. The open ice allows for a lot of back and forth action with odd-man rushes, breakaways and exciting saves from the goaltenders. It has made for some fun moments even though there is a general consensus that the 5-on-5 action was better.

Don’t expect a lot of checking and defense in the semifinals, heck the Atlantic division doesn’t have a defenseman on the roster. But the finals will tighten up considerably with both teams playing more responsible in the zone and the goalies kicking their games up a notch.
