Zetterberg only has 14 more pts than Malkin... stupid fans.

* After the selection of the All-Star game rosters, the captains will select among the 12 rookies to fill out the rosters for the Honda NHL SuperSkills.

* Each team will feature six rookies participating in various skills competitions.

* Teams will participate in six different skills, including NHL Fastest Skater, NHL Breakaway Challenge, Accuracy Shooting, Skills Challenge Relay, NHL Hardest shot and the NHL Elimination Shoot Out.

Nothing about a rookie game or vets in the skills comp

i asked in another thread and didnt get a response ... maybe you know mooger ... are the captains picking teams with a snake "draft"?

No mention of a snake draft...

The draft will go 18 rounds and a coin toss will determine which captain gets to select first. Each All-Star team must have three goalies, six defensemen and 12 forwards.

An interesting rule in the draft is that the goalies must all be selected by the 10th round and the defensemen have to be gone by Round 15.

i think theyre part of the teams only to compete in the skills comp. I think the vets are still in it. thatd be extremely retarded if the NHL did that.

 

[TiLoBrown]

Well, so is this captain thing IMO, so I wouldnt put it past them

 

[li0lsh]

lol @ no sharks as a forwards.

Gotta love player voting

 

[Ho_Brah]

Chara's looks like some kind of psycho walmart shooter.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Fan voting is an debacle. Doe's anyone remember Montreal a few years ago?

 

[puckhead]

no zetterberg ... 6th in league scoring

yeah that's a big omission, esp with no Datsyuk.
I was wondering if Kes might get tapped, but i guess 2 Sedins will do.
Glad Luongo has the weekend off.

casualty of the "every team gets one" format?

Kes made the team

/radio guys saying Detroit management may have asked the league to take a pass on Zetterberg?

Elias deserves it! *runs away crying*

oh thanks. I missed that. he deserved it.
I mean, he's no Zetterberg or anything, but he's at least a Hemsky and a half :p

I just hope all these Pittsburgh players end up on the same team. I'll take a nice little line of H.Sedin, D.Sedin, Giroux!

I want to see the Sedins on different teams.

I think it would be fun to watch them against each other for once.

I want to see them together with a pure sniper ... stamkos

 

[Bizzle McDizzle]

I would assume Staal would be one captain (home team privileges) and Crosby the other.

Any other thoughts?

 

[h X c Chris]

I think its Toews and Crosby as the Captains. I'm pretty sure they said top 2 voted in.

They're pretty competitive at everything so I'm sure they wouldn't hesitate to lay the lumber to one another.
