"That" being the fact not a single Red Wing forward was chosen for this year's All-Star game. One of the answers:
“I think it’s best for our team, I think it’s best for me. If I was 100 percent, I would love to go. But now, the situation with the injuries we have and the way it’s been going lately, I think it’s best for everyone.’’-Henrik Zetterberg of the Detroit Red Wings talking about the NHL honoring the request that he not be selected for the ASG.
(h/t to the usual hockey source) I also imagine Pavel Datsyuk's injured status is why he wasn't selected, either. But what about Franzen, Filippula, or Holmstrom? Enquiring Minds™ wanna know.
Buck, same story with the Flyers although through a huge write-in campaign here in the local area they were able to get one in (Claude Giroux)and the coach goes because the Flyers were #1 in the East on the day the league went over the half way mark.
ReplyDeleteI am not a big fan of ASG being held in the mid-season. I think they need a break to get healthy, do some trading and shuffleing of the lineups and such. They should do this stuff at the end of the season, you know around July 4th!!
BT: Jimmy T sends.
That's how they chose the coach? Well Babcock missed it by just THIS much, then (visualize me holding my thumb and index finger in VERY close proximity)!
