2011 NHL All Star Game: Open Thread
It's all about "Team Staal" today, with Rangers Marc Staal and Henrik Lundvist both picked to play fro them. This is your open thread for today's game. Enjoy the game fellas.
For the first time in 10 years, the Minnesota Wild got past the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. But a second round match-up with the Colorado Avalanche sent them packing.
With the NHL Draft about six weeks away and the Rangers season already over, the Draft Radar Scouting Report series picks up as this edition will focus solely on first round projected players from the QMJHL.
The Rangers should be on the phone with San Jose about trading up for the second overall pick, Benoit Allaire is retiring and going straight to Valhalla, and Chip dropped an Adam Fox trade proposal that both guys would actually do.
Why Toronto was still in the bowl for the second pick, where exactly the Rangers' Dallas pick will land, and why being head coach in Hartford is not really a stepping stone to the NHL. The latest Ombudsman Report has the receipts.
