[DeadsetAce]

HBKid...you need to throw a party at your bar for the NHL NTers and some players

that sounds like an awesome weekend tho

 

[physicx]

dead serious........id would make a trip to ottawa (or anywhere) for an NT summit weekend. rent a rink or something. its not that bad travelling within canada even tho im all the way in edmonton

 

[physicx]

anyways, speaking of the ASG:

toews out. hartnell in

koivu out. eberle in

buff out. letang in

 

[DeadsetAce]

nice that hartnell gets in...he definitely belongs

 

[doublejs07]

Ovechkin should skip...he doesn't belong there anyways...let someone go who is more deserving of that spot. He got in off of reputation, and this year it wasn't merited.

 

[hawkflight6]

Jets are the only team without a player in the game, its disappointing but not unexpected. Outside of Buff and Kane we really don't have anybody deserving to go.

Agreed that Ovie got in off of merit, I wonder who will replace him. And its good to see Hartnell and Eberle get in

 

[thehbkid]

anyone in town is more than welcome to come party! Let me know guys!

jus saw he withdrew...

bum this year, i knew after watching him on 24/7 last year he had lost some of that hunger and drive... his body looked awful

and it still does honestly judging by that rap video he starred in the other day (another topic alltogether)... hes gotten more fit than last year it seems but not to that elite level again... I will give him that of late he looks like his legs are gaining that explosiveness back

and F all you Canadians that will be there for all star weekend

ive got Pens playoff tix alrdy lined up and will problly catch them 2 or 3 more times this year... now all they need to do is make the playoffs

in Geno we trust...

I could careless about Crosby at this point... srs

 

[dmxfury]

C'mon now, don't say that!


But Malkin is taking over that team

man, if Tool wasn't playing in Boston Sat night...i'd be there in a flash

 

[solemate96]

Haven't posted in the longest time. Crazy that AO is getting 3 games but he did leave his feet. Good to see Letang in even though he's been injured.

Tool is back? What the hell!

dude you remember my Crosby rants... its a love/HATE relationship

if he comes back cool but im not holding my breath (he sat out game 7 of the stanley cup)

 

[DeadsetAce]

and goaltending has now become an issue for boston....VERY mediocre and shaky the last few weeks

 

[doublejs07]

No Ovechkin, Backstrom, and Green....and they beat the Bruins 5-3. I 'll take it.

NEW YORK — Canadian rapper Drake headlines the list of performers for this weekend's NHL all-star game.

The two-time Juno Award winner from Toronto will perform during the second intermission of Sunday's game at Scotiabank Place.

Drake joins an entertainment lineup that includes singer and rapper Outasight and Javier Colon, the winner of the inaugural season of "The Voice."

Colon will sing the U.S. national anthem, while longtime Ottawa Senators anthem singer Lyndon Slewidge will sing "O Canada."

Drake is currently up for three 2012 Grammy Awards. He released his second studio album "Take Care" in November and it debuted on the Billboard Top 200 chart at No. 1.
