Vinny Named All Star Starter
[Cross-Posted at Bolts Blog]
Haven't had much to gloat about this season, but this takes a bit of the sting out. Oh this and beating the stinkin' Rangers at MSG!
From TBL.com:Reigning NHL MVP and scoring champion Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins, who led all vote-getters for the second consecutive season with 507,274 votes, heads the list of six Eastern Conference starters. Crosby's linemates will be current NHL scoring leader Vincent Lecavalier of the Tampa Bay Lightning (224,661) and Ottawa Senators right wing Daniel Alfredsson (224,483), each of whom will make his first career start.
Voted to the Eastern Conference blueline are Andrei Markov of the Montreal Canadiens (316,136) and Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins (271,272), also first-time starters. The goaltender will be Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils (220,392), who captured his fourth career All-Star starting berth and will be making his 10th appearance overall, tied with the Red Wings' Lidstrom for the most among the players announced today.

Go Vinny #4! And let's add ENFORCER to his list of assets while we're piling on the well-deserved accolades. In last night's game, Vinny went over and laid some serious shoulder on Hollweg for charging Marty St. Louis. How many sharp shooters take on that role as well?
Give me Vinny over Crosby any day! He does it all, scores goals, dishes assists, plays defense and drops the gloves when needed.
He is the best all around player in the league hands down. Lets hope he stays here in Tampa FOREVER!!!
