[News] Giordano and Gaudreau selected for the 2016 NHL All Star game

[MissTeeks]

I assume Neal was easiest as he would already have been in Nashville. Most players probably left to their All Star vacations yesterday.

New York ‪#‎Islanders‬ F John Tavares will replace ‪#‎Capitals‬ F Alex Ovechkin as the captain of the Metropolitan ‪#‎NHLAllStar‬ Team.

Nashville ‪#‎Predators‬ F James Neal will replace injured (illness) ‪#‎Blackhawks‬ F Jonathan Toews in the ‪#‎NHLAllStar‬ Game.

Washington Capitals F Evgeny Kuznetsov will replace injured (lower-body injury) Capitals F Alex Ovechkin in the ‪#‎NHL‬ All Star Game.

Chicago ‪#‎Blackhawks‬ F Jonathan Toews will not play in the ‪#‎NHLAllStar‬ game due to sickness and will be suspended one game.

Johnny Gaudreau @johngaudreau03
Gio and I are on our way to Nashville for All Star Weekend!

Does Johnny light his stick on fire this year? Sure would like to see that.

Attaboy Evgeny, gets to replace his mentor and hero. Thought I would paste up this excerpt from his Player's Tribune Article.

First practice in Washington, I see Ovi and my legs are shaking. I’m so nervous. He’s legend in Russia. He called me right away when I was drafted by Capitals. Every summer he text me: When you coming to Washington? Now finally I’m on his team. I feel like I’m 16-year-old kid.

Apparently he is doing something that is crazier than that according to Kristen Hallett.

With the way this season is going why tempt fate. Just show up and stick handle. No fire, no pyro, etc.

Hopefully he doesn't ruin it by telling people about it this time.

The ‪#‎NHL‬ is expected to announce Los Angeles as host of 2017 All-Star Game at Staples Center, coinciding with ‪#‎LAKings‬' 50th anniversary.

Light the stick and the puck on fire?

[Komskies]

Maybe he'll light the goalie on fire.

I'm pretty sure it involves lighting Dennis Wideman on fire.

I think Scott will have a pouch sewed into his jersey and Johnny will be in it like a baby kangaroo.

Not as his shoot out move mind you, just around town when they go out and stuff.

Someone on Twitter earlier in the month said they wanted to see Scott carry Gaudreau around the ice like he was the Stanley Cup. That would be hilarious.
