Eastern All Star Reserves: Savy, Chara, Thomas named to team

[Celtics_Champs]

Tim Thomas, Zdeno Chara, and Marc Savard will be going to Montreal for the All-Star Game as Eastern Conference reserves.

All three were in Atlanta for last year's All-Star Game.

I guess you can say Kessel was snubbed. NHL.com is hinting at that...

In fact, of the top five goal-scorers in the League, each is from the Eastern Conference and only Boston's Phil Kessel, who is enjoying his finest pro season in his young career, will not be heading to Montreal.

Oh well, 3 is good. Congrats to them. They deserved it.

Julien to coach.

and

David Krejci, Milan Lucic, Matt Hunwick, and Blake Wheeler are also expected to be in Montreal for the inaugural rookies vs. sophomores game.

Wish Kess made it..and krejci should be have a shot too

[Celtics_Champs]

Yeah, if someone drops out I hope Kessel gets a spot. Krejci really has been a pleasant surprise.

[Celtics_Champs]

Official, Wheeler and Lucic to play in young stars game.

[Dakid21KG]

Any reason why Krejci isnt in the young guns game? He's still considered a sophomore right?

[Celtics_Champs]

Snubbed, I guess. Snubbed from the ASG makes sense, snubbed from this game makes none.

[Celtics_Champs]

Lucic drops out of the young stars game. Smart move by him.
