Everyone wants a moment with All-Star weekend's brightest.
In advance of Sunday's 3-on-3 tournament to cap off the festivities, players from the Pacific and Atlantic Division squads are making requests to see ice time with John Scott and Jaromir Jagr.
Pacific Division coach Darryl Sutter says all his players have asked to play at least a shift with John Scott. Same for Jagr in Atlantic.

While Jagr's legend is universally known, Scott has played the unlikely All-Star role to perfection, winning over players and fans from all corners of the hockey world, despite the league's reluctance to have the pugilist participate in the events.
Jagr has made no secret about his reluctance to participate in the fast-paced, 3-on-3 format, and Scott isn't exactly known for his scoring prowess.
On top of that, neither is expected to return to the event in the future, meaning the rest of the participants are eager to make the most of the unique opportunity.
Add it all up, and everyone's hoping to get their name on the score sheet beside theirs.
