All-Star Lame Game

-Highlights:

-"You can never dream up anything like this." - Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson on playing in the All-Star Lame Game in Ottawa.

-Alfredsson having a moment with Bruins captain and former Senators teammate Zdeno Chara:

-"I feel like a lamb getting led to slaughter right now.” - Monttreal's Carey Price on being a goaltender in the All-Star Lame Game.

-Rangers forward Marian Gaborik claimed the game's MVP award.

-Gaborik scored on his Rangers teammate, Henrik Lundqvist, and pulled out the Artem Anisimovian "gun" salute:

-"I was thinking about that before the game if I scored on Henrik. I wouldn't do it any other way, but if it was against Henrik, I would give him the Anisimov celebration bit. I don't think he was too happy about that." - Gaborik.

-Cool Photo of the Day: Karlsson taking the ice:

-A good look at a faceoff at center ice:

-Happy times for Team Alfredsson:

-Say... you don't suppose these two know each other do you?

-Speaking of Swedes, the Sedins posed with fellow countrymen (left to right), Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, Karlsson, Alfredsson and Vancouver defenseman Alexander Edler:

-Flyers forward Scott Hartnell donated $1,000 for every time he fell on the ice to a Philadelphia charity. Overall, he fell four times.

-For some reason, someone thought it would be a good idea to take this photo of Hartnell:

Atlantic Division

-At some point, the Devils have to start worrying about life after goaltender Martin Brodeur, right?

Central Division

-The Red Wings have the most points (67) and the fewest fights (seven) in the NHL this season.
