The 2015 NHL All-Star Weekend had seemingly everything and was one of the more entertaining games in recent years. Each night had something to remember, and the 29 goals scored in the game set a new record, which isn’t all that surprising. Here are the top 10 moments of the weekend.

The former Nashville dynamic duo reunited and combined for three points in the game. Despite having not played together since Suter bolted to Minnesota three years ago, it really looked like they didn’t a beat as they played for the victorious Team Toews. Deep down, I’m sure they both wish somehow they could play together full-time once again as they each had an enjoyable time at All-Star Weekend.

The 18-year old defenseman was an injury replacement at the last minute and shined bright on the biggest stage he’s ever played on. The Florida Panthers player recorded four assists and led all defensemen in points, showing that age is just a number and he’s just scratching the surface of what he’s going to become.

The Russian sniper was at his best all weekend, seemingly having more fun than anyone else. From his car antics during the draft to recording three points in the game, Ovie was enjoying his time in the spotlight, which is one of the biggest positives of the weekend for a sport that is at times devoid of personality.

Johansen not only incorporated his trainer’s young son into his skills showing, but also donned an Ohio State football jersey to honor the champions. In a series of events all about showmanship, Johansen stole the show in the skills contest.

The Predators defenseman won the hardest shot contest with a mind-boggling 108.5 mph bomb that surely had more than a few goalies cringing as they watched. Few players in the league shoot the puck like Weber. With fellow record-setter Zdeno Chara on the back nine of his career, this contest could be Weber’s to lose for the next few years.

The Islanders are playing their best hockey in decades, and the all-world center is a big reason why. Tavares became the sixth player to record four goals in the All-Star Game and was a force offensively all night.

The Flyers star tied Mario Lemieux for most points in an All-Star Game with six in Team Toews’ big win. Any time a player gets mentioned in the same breath as no. 66, it’s surely memorable. However, it still wasn’t enough to land Voracek the MVP.
