Let's hope Versus gets it right

Less than an hour away from the first Youngstars game and Skills Competition in 3 years, and I can't wait. This is such an exciting time for the fans, the players, and the league.
21 first time all stars are participating this year, out of 42 total. And then there is the Youngstars game, players who are all first timers as well. This is a great opportunity to show the charisma and character of hockey's brightest stars. I'm hoping the NHL worked with Versus to make sure the players get lots of face time.
I remember, back in the good old days, when ESPN used to care, the coverage was excellent. Lots of interviews, players miked, and a fun atmosphere. Hopefully this years event can bring back that level of fun.
