Three members of the Vegas Golden Knights participated in the 2023 NHL All-Star Weekend. Logan Thompson and Chandler Stephenson made their first All-Star Game debuts and head coach Bruce Cassidy coached the Pacific Division. They lost against the Central Division in the Semi-Finals 6-4.
But they had fun and nobody got hurt.
Among the highlights was Stephenson playing defense because the Pacific only had one defenseman on the team (Erik Karlsson), Logan Thompson getting owned by Nathan Mackinnon twice, and Peter DeBoer challenging an Elias Pettersson goal for offsides, and winning.
Thompson rocked the event with one of the coolest goalie masks ever.

Around the NHL
Toronto: The City of Toronto has been announced as the host for the 2024 NHL All-Star Weekend.

Boston: David Pastrnak hilariously recreated scenes from Happy Gilmore in his breakaway attempt.
Long Island: Brock Nelson of the New York Islanders won the NHL All-Star Shooting Accuracy Challenge.
Florida: Given that they now both play in the Atlantic Division, Brady and Matthew Tkachuk got to play on the same team at the ASG.
San Jose: Erik Karlsson did not participate in any of the 2023 NHL All-Star Skills competitions, but he still stole the show.
Pittsburgh: Sidney Crosby was asked about playoffs at the All-Star Game. He says he still prefers the 1 v 8 NHL Playoff Format.
