During the height of this year's ""all-star game season"" - three of the four major American professional sports leagues will hold such events within 14 days - the National Hockey League did something smart on Sunday.

Granted Cheap Under Armour Scorpio Shoes , the NHL has modified its All-Star Game format almost as many times as Hilary Clinton has changed her illegal private e-mail story. Unlike Clinton, though, the league got it right. Three-on-three hockey (six skaters plus two goalies) was incredibly exciting. Specifically, the wide-open ice created the kind of offensive action fans don't generally see.

Hockey purists have decried the three-on-three format as a potential way to settle regular season overtime games Cheap Under Armour Running Shoes , but All-Star Games are a different animal altogether. They're not meant to be competitive (save MLB's ridiculous, World Series home field advantage affair), and they generally mean more to the fans than the players - most of whom want nothing more than to finish the game injury-free.

Scoring is great; defense is optional. For years, the NBA's All-Star Game has earned high ratings despite a lack of defense that would make Carmelo Anthony blush. The tackling in the NFL's Pro Bowl is so halfhearted that violence-hungry fans nearly booed the game out of existence three years ago.

Unfortunately Cheap Under Armour Basketball Shoes , the NHL is still capable of doing dumb things. Initially, it banned fan favorite John Scott from the game because of his ""enforcer"" reputation. The fans and Scott got the last laugh when he not only played in the game, but also scored two goals and earned MVP honors.

The league suspended the Chicago Blackhawks' Jonathan Toews one game for missing the All-Star Game due to a -legitimate illness. Given Toews' positive influence on the sport, it was foolish for the league to bite one of the hands that feeds it.

But for fans who can -simply focus on the All-Star Game for what it is - semi--competitive eye candy - it looks like the NHL has finally delivered something sweet.
