So this is a couple of days late buuuut Jamie Benn is now a NHL All-Star!! He was the only Dallas Star to make the team this year, but what better athlete to represent the Stars than Jamie Benn! Now in my opinion Benn should have played on the All-Star team when he was a Rookie, because he was almost in Calder Cup position and was doing awesome his first year, but unfortunately I don’t pick out the All-Star team.
Other notable players that made the team this year are (of course) Tim Thomas, Alex Ovechkin, Jonathan Toews, and Henrik Lundqvist (Most notable for being on my Top Ten Hottest list, haha). The team in all has 48 players, 36 vets and 12 rookies. This year the game is taking place in Ottawa on January 29th. I’m sure that weekend the game and the skills competition will be on NBC, like it was last year.
Now the question until then is, who is going to be picked to lead each team. My guess is that Ovechkin will be one of them and then I think Toews or Thomas stand a good chance of it also. But we shall see! What do you guys think??
