The All Star Game, originally scheduled in what turned out to be the year we lost an entire season to the lockout, is finally here in Atlanta. Downtown is getting geared up, including a 30-story picture of Ilya Kovalchuck on the Westin.
Somewhat disappointing is the fact that Sidney Crosby won't be playing due to a high ankle injury. But, that's kind of cool, too, because maybe it means other players will get some attention. It would have been interesting to see him in the skills competition, though.
