cuz I needed 75 words FAST
Thursday night at 8 PM ET, the NHL All-Star Player Fantasy Draft takes place with team captains D Zdeno Chara and RW Daniel Alfredsson -- of the blue and red teams respectively -- selecting from a pool of 100 All-Stars for the 2012 NHL All-Star Games.
This is the second year the league will conduct its NHL player draft, and with the new format, the fans vote in six players to join the pool of All-Stars who are otherwise selected by the league. The All-Stars then vote among themselves to elect two captains, who then pick the rosters for the All-Star Game and Skills Competition in a fantasy draft.

When I think of the Bud Selig and the other MLB owners in their meetings, this image totally comes to mind.
Rated M for McGinn.
I’m kind of thinking that Couture got picked over the other Sharks because he’s super active on twitter.

Which is hilarious, because he stated over the weekend that he wanted to go last because he wanted the car.

Alfredsson takes Karlsson with his first pick, just like he guaranteed he would. First time for everything, I guess.

They need to start ejecting people or something. That’s getting really annoying!

Last 4 picks in this order...my prediction
Last: Hartnell, Before him: Pominville, Before him: Couture, and Before him: Jamie Benn

I’d say start the drum roll, but they really do drag this thing out. Could be another 30 minutes til they finish.

Cooch
Is going to be playing with Canucks, and that makes me sad.
At least he’s the only Calder finalist from last year to make the All Star Game.
looks like the draft is being replayed on ummm versus?
Adopted Giant: Eddie I Have It Grant.
TSFGWTWS DESPITE Botchy, not BECAUSE of him.
It's like an instant replay, without slo-mo!
If only I had an angry bald guy break down the action for me.
Couture is the Man
He could care less that he was the last pick! He has a chance to WIN 2 cars now.
After this year EVERYBODY will know WHO COUTURE is!
Go Big or Go Home
He’s on the fourth line though, gonna be tough

TMac is coaching
What line a forward is on doesn’t mean crap once that puck drops. If Todd McLellan wants a player to be on a line, he makes ’em go out.
He is coaching with Torts though. Considering how overbearing Torts can be it will be interesting to see how they break down the coaching duties.
by WhatsAMataHari on Jan 26, 2012 6:55 PM PST up reply actions
McLellan has described the ASG coaching to being, “Knowing how to say next in more than one language.”

So does this mean Couture will have a season like Kessel? yes please

Remember kids: always save the Cooch for last, but certainly not least
Last year’s last pick: Phil Kessel. Look at the year he’s having.
And I figure Mitchell/McGinn/Sheppard will be Couture’s Lupul
