The all star game is supposed to be the league's showcase for the best players. Where are the Red Wings? Where are the Sharks? Where are the Caps? And yes, where the hell are the Bruins -- many of whom are among the lead leaders in all categories.<BR/><BR/>I've always defended Habs fans as great fans of the game, and this is a slap in the face. They've ruined the all-star game and they know enough about hockey to know it.<BR/><BR/>And, sad to say, the NHL has once again managed to make itself clownish in the eyes of the sporting world. It's not like other leagues haven't had to deal with this sort of thing before; the NHL didn't have to reinvent the wheel, they just had to get their heads out of their butts and pay attention.<BR/><BR/>It's an embarrassment and a disgrace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924058947086044807.post-86608786020453604052008-12-30T15:35:00.000-05:002008-12-30T15:35:00.000-05:00I couldn't agree more. The NHL's marketing and man...I couldn't agree more. The NHL's marketing and management group continues to let us fans down and lead us to believe that the NHL is secretly run by the Ford family and the rest of the Detroit Lions organization.Pratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786925761779958367noreply@blogger.com
