It sucks that at the last second Rory Fitzpatrick was bumped to third in western conference defensemen voting, and therefore didn't make the team. I wonder if the NHL rigged the vote so that Lidstrom would beat out Rory.

Also congratulations to Zdeno Chara for making the team. He was third in fan voting and I guess the NHL thinks he deserves to go to the game (which he does).

Also before I forget, the NHL released the NHL YoungStars rosters for the East and West teams. Phil Kessel made the eastern conference team.

And just in case I don't post tomorrow, GO PATRIOTS!!!
