2012 Tim Horton's NHL All-Star Game Roster - 2012 Tim Hortons NHL All-Star Game

As usual the NHL All-Star game is a joke. There's some serious snubs in there.

Plus Ovechkin and Perry...

 

[Capt. Serious]

Soupy there & Duncs not. A little kick in the grapes.

Maybe one day Duncs will turn into the guy that won the Norris.

Selanne passed it up & gave his spot to Perry.

Perry in a 'down' season compared to last, has only 3 less points than Kaner.

Meh, I'm not even sure Kaner should be there. All those Senators makes me sick.

 

[Uman85]

I only watch the skills competition.

Lots to say about this:

First is that the fan balloting getting 4 senators in is ridiculous, but gotta please the home crowd.

Second, Sharp should be there, but his injuiry might have something to do with that. Sharp has been far better than Kaner this year.

Third, how the **** did phanuef get in by fan vote? Fans are crazy this year

Finally, Ovechkin should not be there, but because Crosby is injured they need a star at the game. Definitely doesn't deserve to be there though.

Not really since he's the FLA rep.

Maybe one day Duncs will turn into the guy that won the Norris.

Sure, it would be nice. Despite not putting up the points, he's been on the right track.

Morons. Buy a regular home ticket if you want to see Alfie and Spezza.

Agreed.

I also think that Versteeg earned a spot. Has played better than certain players in the all star game so far this year.

Joe would agree with you. Haha

 

[TheChicagoFan]

Joe would agree with you. Haha

I'm not saying that trading him was the wrong thing and that the Hawks would be better with him, I'm just saying that he's having a pretty impressive year.

I know that and I agree. It was the right move to trade him. Just pointing out that Joe still likes him.

I still like him too. He was one of my favorites and still kind of is. That doesn't mean I want him on my team.

Where Joe goes wrong is thinking that if you like a player, that means you want him on your team.

He also likes too many rival teams' players.

Is the All-Star game this year East and West or is it like last year where it's like a draft?

If so I wanna see Team Toews with Kane, Hossa, Campbell and Byfuglien!

It's a draft again. They're going to have it in two weeks on NBC Sports Network(formerly Versus) I believe.

 

[TheChicagoFan]

When asked about being on the all star team again, Toews said that he was really excited and hoped that he would be a captain so that he could pick Kane last.

This is because last year Kane kept passing up Toews, but finally took him late in the draft.

Yep, its on NBC Sports Network. It's a three day thing. First day is draft, second day is skills competition (which I recommend watching, because it's awesome), and the third day is the actual game.
