I am ok with the suspensions since they did it to Datsyuk and Lidstrom. It is still a stupid rule, but if they did it to the Wings, then others should deal with it as well.

Same here I think the rule is unbelievable stupid to begin with but Pasha and Lidström had to sit out too so well..

I'm sure OV and Toews are happy to have some rest and they'll take the stupid 1 game suspension, if anything it's only hurting the NHL ratings *lol*

But WTF makes James Neal an allstar? Yeah the guy is a Predator and the game is in Nashville but other than that? lol

Larkin "nervous" for All-Star Game:

NASHVILLE -- Being an NHL All-Star and getting the chance to be in the Music City spotlight at 19 years old is as strange as Detroit Red Wings rookie Dylan Larkin expected it to be.

"I feel more nervous than I would for an actual game," Larkin said Friday. "I don't really know many guys and I don't really know what's going on."

Larkin was a fan until this season, another teenager dreaming of one day getting his chance but never expecting it to come this soon.

He was playing for the University of Michigan last season, and participating in the IIHF World Junior Championship with the United States. Now he's an All-Star from an NHL Original Six franchise on pace for a 25-goal season before he turns 20 years old.

Larkin is third in goals (15), assists (18) and points (33) among rookies.

"Just to be here is awesome, especially as a young guy to see all these guys, how they handle themselves with the media and how they represent themselves in public," Larkin said. "It's just really cool, special to me to be a part of this. I grew up watching most of these guys."

Larkin said his task this weekend is to introduce himself to as many fellow All-Stars as he can.

"It's pretty cool just to be able to introduce myself and for them to recognize me, almost have a relationship with them," he said. "My goal is to come out of this with some friends so when we go to some different cities I can see some familiar faces and be able to say hello."

How crazy will it be if his teammates keep setting him up and the other goalies are easy on him just to piss off the league by causing him to win the MVP award?

Just the right amount of crazy, if you ask me..... I'm thrilled for the guy. I hope he gets back in the show after all of this. I'd love to have known what was going through Bettman and Daly's minds when Scott got the first goal, then the second, then the MVP.

$$$$$$?

Bettman doesn't care about the integrity of the league. He cares about money. And Scott's story just made this All-Star game a wild success.
