I think that for the all star game you always want to give the fans something that they can not see normally. Fans or otherwise get to see teammates skate together at least 66 times a year. Make it exciting and put sworn enemies on a pairing together. Maybe you will get lucky and see some from friction coming from the d pairing of interstate rivals. Maybe you will see the beautiful what could be moment when they actually work well together. Either way, it is better than the same old same old that you would get by sticking to normal pairings.

How players spend their time in the Twin Cities is definitely going to depend on the time of year. Although these are hockey players we are talking about, very few would want to spend too much time outside in the frigid Minnesota winter. Regardless, I think everyone can get behind Prince being an interesting dude, even if most of the young players only know about him from the Chapelle skit. Maybe the all star game committee can schedule a Prince tour throughout the Twin Cities and have all the players show up to the game in Prince inspired outfits. Something like that would make this all star game one to remember.

San-sam Emerson is getting up there in age, so if he started anything, it would have to be age appropriate. Something low impact and easy on the joints. I would say wine tasting could be a skill that Emerson could get involved in. It would allow him to just sit around and lounge. It would probably go pretty poorly. He would most likely forget that you are supposed to spit out the wine rather than swallow it and get drunk as hell.
