Slightly Less Lame

The NHL All-Star game got less embarrassing today as Patty Marleau was added to the West squad this morning. Seeing as how he's 4th in the conference in points and freaking 1st in goals, this seems like a worthwhile appointment. Marleau joins the West leader in assists, Joe Thornton, the NHL defenseman leader in points, Dan Boyle, and the coach of the best team in the league, Todd McLellan, as San Jose Shark All-Stars.

Unfortunately none of them will be starting (McLellan aside) because the fans want to see the Chiheim Blackducks vs. Montsburgh Canadian Penguins. Ugh. I'll tune in after the first line change.
