Staal, Hank on All Star Rosters; Stepan in Rookie Skills Comp.
NHL.com released the rosters for the NHL All Star game and both Marc Staal and Henrik Lundqvist made the cut.Derek Stepan will also be part of the All Star weekend participating in the Rookie Skills Competitiion.
...what? No Avery? ;)
...obviously Dubi is the big snub here for the Rangers.
...i feel over the last month or so Staal has really stepped up his game and this All Star bid is an affirmation of his status of one of the top young defensemen in the game.
...would have rather Hank rested, but outstanding honor for him.

I have to admit, I'm actually a little shocked that Hank made it in. Thrilled, but surprised. And Stall sure as hell deserves to be there, so that's really great for him.
Is it lame, though, that I'm actually more interested in watching Stepan in the Rookie Skills Competition than I am about the game? :p
Really looking forward to the All Star weekend!
@KevinDeLury @erichan I think it's pretty cool for a gimmick though. Watching them pick should be fun. We'll see when Staal gets picked.
I'm also surprised Hank made it. Then again, Andre-Fleury was voted to start.
@erichan Nobody is interested in the game anymore. Hence the gimmick with the Captains picking the teams.
