Now what kind of hockey bloggers would we be if we didn’t do our own Mock Draft for NHL All-Star Game?  Terrible ones, that’s what kind.

Just to preface, this draft was conducted via Gmail chat and remained mostly civil and professional, with the exception of when Pants drafted Sharp and when Chuck drafted Letang.  Choice , colorful language was used.  There were threats of violence and the removal of earrings and press-on nails before engaging in a girly slap fight.  We learned how from watching Mike Green.

And these guys…

We used a very highly scientific method of selecting these teams, which included not only their obvious talent and season performance thus far, but also how awesome their hair/beards are.

So here you go…

Team Pants vs. Team Chuck

TEAM PANTS (aka Team Staal)	TEAM CHUCK (aka Team Lidstrom)
Forwards:  Eric Staal Ryan Kestler Alexander Ovechkin Jonathan Toews Patrick Sharp Corey Perry Danny Briere Jeff Skinner Phil Kessel Loui Erikkson Martin Havlat Patrik Elias	Forwards:  Patrick Kane Martin St. Louis (SQUISHY!) Steve Stamkos Daniel Sedin Henrik Sedin Rick Nash Brad Richards Matt Duchene Paul Stastny David Backes Anze Kopitar Claude Giroux
Defensemen:  Mike Green (would have drafted him first, obvs) Duncan Keith (aka Duncan Teeth) Dustin Byfuglien Marc Staal Erik Karlsson Brent Burns	Defensemen:  Nicklas Lidstrom Kris Letang Zdeno Chara Dan Boyle Shea Weber Keith Yandle
Goalies:  Marc-Andre Fleury Cam Ward Jonas Hiller	Goalies:  Timmy Thomas Henrik Lundqvist Carey Price

So based on this mock draft, who do you think will win this year’s All Star Game? Who will be the MVP?

Chuck suggested that Brent Burns should dye his beard black a la Brian Wilson of the SF Giants.  Thus it only makes sense he would be on Pants’ team.  FEAR THE BEARD.  And we’re not talking about that Amish nonsense the Staal boys grow during playoffs.

Brian Wilson (the baseball player)	Brent Burns (the hockey player)
