Last Sunday was the NHL All-Star game in the international hockey hotbed of Atlanta. [Cue Jermaine Dupri] "Welcome to Atlanta where the players play". The elected starters for the game were:
Eastern Conference
Sidney Crosby - Pittsburgh Pengiuns
Vincent LeCavalier - Tampa Bay Lightning
Andrei Markov - Montreal Canadians
Zdano Chara - Boston Bruins
Martin Broduer - New Jersey Devils
Western Conference
Jarome Iginla - Calgary Flames
Pavel Datsyuk - Detroit Red Wings
Henrik Zetterberg - Detroit Red Wings
Niklas Lidstrom - Detroit Red Wings
Dion Phaneuf - Calgary Flames
Roberto Luongo - Vancouver Canuks
Just like any All-Star game, once the substitutes are selected, there is much debate over which deserving players were left off the roster. In short, who got snubbed?
I can answer this question very simply. THE FANS!!! Nobody cares about the NHL All-Star game. In fact, nobody can even find it on television. I think it was on the Home and Garden Network.
As exciting as the sport of hockey can be, the league has made itself 100%, absolutely irrelevant.
