Vegas Golden Knights: Fun takeaways from 2020 NHL All-Star Game
That was a lot of fun! The 2020 NHL Honda All-Star Game in St. Louis is officially a wrap, with Vegas Golden Knights forward Max Pacioretty playing a big part in the festivities.
Recording a total of three points (one goal, two assists) in the All-Star Game, Pacioretty did the Vegas Golden Knights proud as the Pacific Division took down the stacked Atlantic Division and won it all.
Although there are detractors when it comes to the All-Star Game, this year’s event was actually a lot of fun and there were a plethora of highlight moments.
From the Celebrity Captains to Tomas Hertl trolling Jordan Binnington with a Justin Bieber mask on to Shea Weber‘s triumphant return at the Hardest Shot competition, it was probably the best All-Star Weekend for a while.
