Ghostsof1915 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 If you lived in Chicago would you want to go outside? I went to Chicago in Mid-February years ago. It was like -20 and probably more with the windchill. I had a heavy shirt, sweater and winter jacket and it was freezing just wandering around to tourist places. Good thing they have Famous Dave's Ribs. With a nice roaring fire pit and killer blues bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the rest instead of playing in a pointless game that in the grand scheme doesn't mean a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avelanch Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Tell me about it, if Datsyuk isn't in the all-star game, its not really an all-star game. with all the cancellations, it's more like the NHL some stars game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Canucks' Vrbata credits Sedins for first All-Star GameFriday, 01.23.2015 / 5:12 PMBy Arpon Basu - Managing Editor LNH.com / 2015 Honda NHL All-Star Game blogCommentPrintE-mailCOLUMBUS -- When Radim Vrbata signed with the Vancouver Canucks as an unrestricted free agent last summer, the hope was that he would be the perfect fit to play with Henrik and Daniel Sedin.It's safe to say Vrbata has been exactly that, so much so that he is attending the first All-Star weekend of his NHL career.And the Sedins aren't."That's what I said when I was selected, that I just feel I'm the beneficiary of how that line works and how everything went for us as a line," Vrbata said during NHL Media Day presented by DraftKings on Friday. "They could as easily be here instead of me, and nobody would say a word. I don't think it's just my game, it's the whole thing. They deserve lots of credit."That may be true, but Vrbata's addition in Vancouver has put an end to what was a bit of a revolving door on the right side of the Sedin twins during the previous two seasons. Though the position was filled most often by Alexandre Burrows, a long list of players took turns in that spot, including Jannik Hansen, Ryan Kesler, Zack Kassian, Nicklas Jensen and Chris Higgins.Those days are now over with Vrbata firmly entrenched there and leading the Canucks with 18 goals, or as many as Daniel and Henrik Sedin combined. Vrbata is right on pace to match his career-high 35 goals, which he had in 2011-12 with the Arizona Coyotes.Though Vrbata credits the Sedins with his on-ice success, he also says they played a big role in helping him make a smooth transition to the Canucks after six seasons with the Coyotes."Before I went there, I heard they were great guys. I think they're even better than what I heard," he said. "They're unbelievable people. Coming to a new team, you don't know how it's going to go, but they've been helpful since Day 1, since I signed. Even in the summer, they reached out to me and we kept in contact."The chemistry the Sedin twins have can be difficult for their linemate because he needs to strike a balance between helping them out and staying out of their way to allow them make the unique plays only they can make."Chemistry is a weird thing; it's either there or not," Vrbata said. "Sometimes you have to let them be and do their thing on the ice, kind of get lost to get open somewhere. They are that good that they will find you and you will have a scoring chance. Sometimes you need to go in and help out on the cycle or something like that. It's about reads, and they're so good at reading what's happening out there, if you're smart enough you will create an advantage for yourself."Vrbata has also enjoyed his front-row seat to watch the Sedins play their two-man game, and he is convinced there is something to the theory that the identical twins have a mental link that goes beyond simple chemistry on the ice."There's something beyond that," he said. "When you play with somebody and you build chemistry with them, you usually play with them for three or four years, maybe five. For them it's unique in the way they've been together their whole lives and they've played together their whole lives. Some of those plays they can make, it has to be a sixth sense. Even me playing with them for half a season now, there are certain situations you see on the ice where you wouldn't even think that it would be possible to make, and they just make it happen. So there has to be something bigger than just regular chemistry."http://www.nhl.com/ice/blogpost.htm?id=36215&navid=nhl:topheads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Does anyone know the rookie stars? I'm frustrated since I can't find a list of all the players in it. I know Pearson, Ekblad, and Forsberg were part of it, but all are no longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
