NHL All-Star Game 2023 Preview

For Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Sidney Crosby, the NHL All-Star game doesn’t get old as he plays in his fifth all-star game. He gets tabbed for the all-star game regularly, but he notably only played once amid his first 11 career selections according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

“I’d like to think that every time I went I appreciated it and tried to make the most of it. But you do understand as you get older that you don’t know how many more you’ll be a part of,” Crosby said via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “So I think you just try to enjoy them.”

Crosby and Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals are two of the most-season all-stars to take the ice on Saturday. Ovechkin will make his 13th all-star game appearance. He and Crosby go back years as Eastern Conference rivals and two of the top players in the sport.

“He’s still enjoying playing hockey. I’m still enjoying playing hockey,” Ovechkin said via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I’m pretty sure when me and him retire we are going to have a couple of beers together and talk about the whole thing and what happened over the years.”

Fourteen new all-stars will make their debut on Saturday, per the Post-Gazette. That includes Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars.

“He’s done it for so long. I haven’t played against him too often, being in the West. But growing up, obviously you idolize guys like him,” Robertson said about Crosby. “You can still see him doing things nowadays that he did back then.”

First-time all-stars include Aretemi Panarin (Rangers), Adam Fox (Rangers), Andrei Svechnikov (Hurricanes), Brock Nelson (Rangers), Chandler (Stephenson (Golden Knights), Ilya Sorokin (Islanders), Igor Shesterkin (Rangers), Kevin Fiala (Kings), Kevin Hayes (Flyers), Linus Ullmarkk (Bruins), Logan Thompson (Golden Knights), Josh Morrissey (Jets), and Stuart Skinner (Oilers). Matty Beniers (Kraken)  and Tage Thompson (Sabres) also made it but won’t play due to injury.

Fox can relate to Beniers and Thompson. The Rangers star made the all-star game last year but couldn’t play due to injury. He gets his chance on Saturday.

“It’s nice, especially after not being able to play last year,” Fox told NHLPA.com. “I’m happy that it’s in Florida too, maybe get some sun. It’s a great event, and I’ll have my parents down here to watch. My grandfather lives in Florida, so it should be a fun time. I don’t know if we ever imagined that they would watch me play in an All-Star Game, but the fact that it’s in Florida, and my grandpa can watch it  he’s 96  that’s going to be really special.”
