Only in an all-star game will you see teammates have these stats:
Briere: +5
Lecavalier: -5
Oh, and you have to keep this a secret but the NHL's new poster boy from the Penguins had zero goals, zero points and was a -4.
There's a good chance that "secret" is on the front page of The Globe tomorrow.
Good to know... I started channel surfing halfway through the first period.
C'mon James, Sid had to be the most worn down guy there. He ought to only be seen in games that matter.
Another little known tidbit about Crosby is that he earns less than a million dollars a year and has more points than anyone in attendance at the all star game.
Oh no he didn't score any goals in a game that doesn't matter.
