This time, they're debating the existence of the NHL All-Star Game. On one side, Nick Kypreos
, like many pundits, claims players don't want to attend it anymore and that the game is boring; inversely, Ian Mendes argues that for kids, it's their chance to see their favourite (or hometown) players play with and against the best of their profession.I'm siding with Mendes on this one. Even fans of crappy teams (say the Panthers or Leafs) get to see the best player(s) on their team compete with the best from other teams, in a game where checkers and cheap-shot artists don't matter. Defense wins championships? Who cares - offense sells tickets.
