Canada's game being pimped out (fluff)!

Any Canuck hockey fans out there disappointed at the All-Star festivities?
Gimmicks, "slam-dunk" type breakaway competition, Ne-Yo performance with marching band, etc...
What's happened to our game EH?

Our game has been pimped out since Gary Bettman took control of the League. He knew that the league couldn't support itself if it didn't appeal to the American public, so it had to change and evolve from what it was, into what it is becomming.
At least a Canadian won All Star game MVP. Those Staal brothers are something else. Modern day Sutters.

Yeah, Bettman!
Little Jewish guy from New York who knew nothing about hockey or its history hired to fix the National Hockey League.
Made sense to me too!
