| (Orlando, Florida), In another wild and crazy all-star game, this has to rank up there as the best. Now granted this is only the 2nd annual CFHL All-Star game, but it was definately better than the game played last year in Los Angelas. This years game took place in the sunshine state of Florida. Nothing like stepping from minus temperatutes in the rink to a balmy 30 degrees the minute you step out of the rink. On a side note, boy are those chicks hot in south Florida. Rumour has it that Campbell Conference center Eric Lindros was seen on the beach with 3 naked blondes.....lets hope everything was nice and legal!!! On to the actual event it self, The game was moved from Hartfrod so south Florida when the Whaler gm decided that the players needed to relax in the sun rather than the blustery winter conditions of Conneticuit. The Whaler organization did a fantastic job hosting the game and the events that surrounded it. There was the All-Star gala dinner where the CFHLPA honoured commisioner Taylor for his fine work this season. There also was the skills competion which took place on Saturday afternoon. For results see below. In the game which was played on the Sunday, the Wales Conference came out the victors with a close 10-9 overtime win. Markus Naslund scored the game winner just 50 seconds into the extra frame. The highlights of the game were plenty. You had the amazing play of the Nordiques Jarmir Jagr, who had two goals and two assists, including a beautiful tic tac toe play in the second period. The game however belonged to Russian Oiler rookie Mikhel Kuleshov, who scored 4 times including the game tying goal with just 2 seconds remaining and Hasek on the bench. Kuleshov was named All-Star game MVP and for this his team will recieve a 5 million dollar bonus. Check the boxscore for more stats. |
