Speculation: Could Pacioretty maybe play in the Allstar game?

[Nicko999]

Exactly! It is no secret that Pacioretty is playing a little banged up right now as well.

How do you know?

Since when is Subban a rookie? Its 2015. Ekblad is playing in the rookie game and rightfully so.

The other 4 guys you named are all forwards.

Maybe you missed the memo. Ekblad is replacing Johnson in the actual All Star game.

Not the skills competition that a handful of rookies were invited to participate in as there is no rookie game this year.

I did, actually. But that's likely because it's too late to invite other players? I don't know.

Don't get me wrong, I think its absolutely Pejorative Slured that you have a young former Norris Trophy winning defensemen who is among the league leaders in points by D, who also happens to be one of the biggest personalities in the league... and he's not playing.

But the ASG is a joke in general, the way it's set up prevents him from being there.

That's what I was saying!

What a joke! Between this and the disastrous upcoming world cup, NHL management are really showing what a bunch of buffoons they are. No frigging clues at all...

Who cares about the All Star game........real fans don't watch it anyways.

Don't forget good ol' Patrik Elias :

True that.

The name should be changed to representative game,not All-Star Game.

The best players aren;t there,but at least 1 player from every team regardless if they are inferior.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It's far too late to invite either Subban or Pacioretty. I'm sure they both had break plans and took off immediately after the Habs last game or Wednesday morning.

That's ok. They could both use the break. We'll need them big time for the stretch run. The ASG is not that important.

 

[Habs]

I actually forgot it was even on this weekend, have no plans to watch it. Glad he gets some time off, and it's too bad Price can't heal any longer.

There was a rumor floating around that they asked Subban & Patches to fill in last minute but they turned it down.

if this is true I love that they turned them down

Anything is possible, but in the case this rumor is true I am surprise about Subban's reaction. This guy seems to like this kind of event.

That's impossible, Subban would never refuse a chance to be in the spotlight lol

 

[didimentionlarseller]

I guess Patches couldn't make it because him and Gallagher are appearing at the auto show lols

Ya you can't bail on an auto show!

Apparently his agent locked him into a 20 year appearance schedule with autotrader.ca

 

[Player 61]

I'd rather no Habs ever be in the All-Star Game. Team should be challaxing for the real Prize. I Mean Sekac at an exhibition of skill is OK, he's young. But with all the outdoor games the NHL, should stop ******* itself out.
