We interrupt this rock concert to bring you a hockey game.
A stage was erected on an ice rink in Atlanta, flanked by makeshift towers spouting makeshift fire, specifically for the Hives to play a couple songs before the NHL All-Star Game.
Absolutely nothing is right about that.
Fire on ice ... the best hockey players in the world standing on a rink in front of the Hives ... in Atlanta ...
...During introductions, Chris Pronger is half booed, half cheered by the fans ... in Atlanta ...
...Rick Nash scores 12 seconds into the game ... in Atlanta ... where more people will attend a poultry expo than the NHL all-star game.
UPDATE: Scott Niedermayer has scored a goal with 4:52 left in the second period. See, he deserved to be there after all.
