My 2009-10 NHL All-Star Game Picks (If There Was A Game)

Well, with the Winter Olympics this year, there will be no NHL All-Star Game. However, if there was one, it would be approximately around this time. To make it up to all those players who are deserving of being All-Stars this year, here are my Eastern and Western Conference All-Star teams. As always, there are certain rules to my picks.

1. Following the NHL format, there are 4 right wings, 4 centers, 4 left wings, 6 defensemen, and 3 goalies for 21 players total.

2. Each team must have at least one representative.
