Kris Letang – 2016 NHL All-Star Game recap post!
Kris played on the Metropolitan team along side teammate Evgeni Malkin. Kris scored the first goal of the game, but the Metropolitan team could not advance in the tournament. Overall, the 3-on-3 format was very exciting and tournament style added to that, giving the game an overall fun feeling and atmosphere, while still competitive. I hope this format is used in the 2017 All Star Game in Los Angeles!
“It was pretty cool,” Letang said. “I think being part of a couple of those other All-Star Games, the intensity was better.
“It was something close to what we do during the season and I thought the intensity was pretty good, especially at the end when we were trying to score a goal.” – Kris
