Happy Gameless Saturday, everyone. It’s always weird when the Leafs have HNIC off. Mitch Marner gets to play some three-on-three this afternoon, however. The actual All-Star Game itself is on TV from 3pm to 6pm on Sportsnet and CBC.
Last night was the skill’s competition:

The “red carpet” was weather appropriate, so it was guys in very casual gear that likely cost a lot more than it seemed. Cale Makar came as a golf pro from one of the better country clubs:
