East down three heading into third, 9-6

The NHL time on ice leader Zdeno Chara, who also won the slapshot contest and can speak an incredible five languages as well, scored in the second, but it was the West ringing up six goals to take a 9-6 lead into the third period. Look for Crosby and Alex to boost the East in the third, making this a one goal game toward the end.

Otherwise...it looks like Yanic Perreault...who?...might be our player of the game. Certainly would make for a forgetable All-Star game. He's a great faceoff man, but so is Rob Rassey, and you don't see him starting for Northeastern right now. Yanic Perreault and no Marc Savard?

Let's home for a good finish to this one.
