“There’s Kreider! He’s coming.”

The woman with the Rangers Chris Kreider sweater had a religious moment in front of T-Mobile Arena, where the NHL is staging its All-Star Game.

Her pal screamed back with an intense sense of urgency, “Hurry, hurry, hurry! Get him!”

Indeed, we’re at the NHL epicenter of super-duper hockey fans. This is their Woodstock, and hockey fans across two nations are wearing their teams’ jerseys and waiting to watch the three-on-three, high-scoring hockey that the league will be presenting.

 

For the hometown Golden Knights, Mark Stone, Alex Pietrangelo and Jonathan Marchessault are here and their Pacific Division team will be coach by VGK head coach Pete DeBoer.
