All-Star Weekend is over

The regular season break is over. It was accompanied by the traditional show called the All-Star Game, which was preceded by skill competitions and a draft to 4 teams headed by captains McDavid, Matthews, MacKinnon and Hughes.

It has been a long time since the format of an Eastern Conference game against the Western Conference. This was later replaced by the North American selection against the rest of the world. For added attraction, 4 teams play each other in a 3-on-3 game and the winners of the tournament face each other in the final match.

Team Matthews vs. Team McDavid

In the final game of the final tournament, the teams of Austin Matthews and Connor McDavid faced each other. McDavid’s team eliminated Nathan MacKinnon’s team in the semi-finals after a 4-3 shootout, with David Pastrnak contributing significantly to the victory.

He scored a goal and an assist and converted the deciding shootout. McDavid himself had a goal and an assist.

In the second semifinal, Matthews defeated Hughes 6:5 in a shootout. Alex DeBrincat was the central figure in this game, scoring two goals and an assist, including the tie-breaking goal.

In the final, Matthews’ team faced McDavid‘ s team. However, Matthews’ team won with a total score of 7:4.

However, Matthews contributed to the winning shot with three goals. He scored two goals, had one assist and was named the MVP of the game. He added a trophy to his collection, which he has not yet won.

The Hart trophy is already in his pocket, it is awarded to the best player of the season. He also has the trophy for top scorer, twice. He also won the Ted Lindsay Award, which is for the best player of the season according to the players themselves. So he is still missing the Conn SmytheTrophy. That’s the trophy for the best player in the playoffs. Of course, he would have to lift the Stanley Cup, which this team has been waiting for since 1967, at least over his head with the Toronto team.
