When you make the NHL All-Star like a lot of premier players did, then you have that reputation of being a part of a great game in the world of hockey. At least in terms of American and Canadien hockey.
Well, for this year, as most of the puckheads might know, instead of the Eastern and Western conference teams, two players selected NHL players to be on their teams. Nicklas Lidstrom and Eric Staal were those captains, hence they were the captains.
Only one player would be picked last. That was Toronto Maple Leaf's Phil Kessel. He is now known this season as 'Mr. Irrelevant.' I'm sure that name will fly with him for a while. Only he got something good.
He was able to get rewarded with a new car. Hey, being picked last isn't a bad thing, right? No, it isn't a bad thing. The player is as valuable and hard-working as everyone else, maybe even better. But sometimes there comes a time when you are picked the last player. In this case, it was Phil Kessel.
Hey, he got a new car to drive off with. So let's not give him a hard time. Sure, he is 'Mr. Irrelevant,' but I respect him well enough as I do with everybody else who works in the NHL All-Star Game. Plus, he is a good player and especially one that the Toronto Maple Leafs need in order to rebuild.
I don't think we should worry too much about Phil Kessel being last. After all, he got a new car and he got to play in the All-Star game, right? There are two positives out of there. So why don't we die down these critics and let it just slide? After all, who knows what might happen when the regular season resumes? Maybe Phil Kessel will just be all that valuable.
Hope you enjoyed the All-Star game and see you next time, puckheads!
