All-Star Weekend Under Way
Not that anyone in the city of Atlanta has noticed, mind you. (It rates just a notch below the International Poultry Expo here this week.) But that's a rant for another day, I suppose.
Anyway, the All-Star coaches just met with the media and Mike Babcock shared a few of his thoughts about his Sunday plans.
Most notably, Chris Osgood will definitely get the start in goal over San Jose's Evgeni Nabokov. ("Ron Wilson's bottle of wine wasn't good enough," Babcock joked, with Wilson standing within earshot. Wilson, meanwhile, was busy vowing to give Babcock a lobotomy this weekend.)
As for his line combinations, right now it looks like it'll be: Nash-Datsyuk-Iginla, Sedin-Thornton-Gaborik, Arnott-Getzlaf-Perry, Horcoff-Kopitar-Ribiero.
