Phil Kessel -
Ryan Suter -

Jonathan Quick -

This is a pretty cool idea!
COL has 2 players

Pavel Datsyuk
Alexander Edler

Wonder what the difference between number of players will be between the west and east. Probably going to be more players added as injuries close to the date happen.

You like the West vs East thing or should we have captains that pick teams like in real life? We could pick a captain from each conference? They would do a fantasy draft.

Interesting Stats (As of right now)

Chicago leads the way with 6 players headed to the All-Star Game (1 in the minors and 2 rookies)
Montreal leads the way with 5 veteran players headed to the All-Star Game.

West is sending 22 players
East is sending 30 players

is the only team not represented in the All-Star Game Koivu is injured and Hodgson is in Skills Competition.

is the only team sending 2 starters to the All-Star Game.

(2-13), (3-12), and (4-11) are all sending more players to the All-Star Game then (11-4)
