Big ups to "Juice" for being selected to his first All-Star game.

Kempe selected to first All-Star game, Faber to Olympics, Fagemo/JAD/Moverare recalled - LA Kings Insider

May you have mad hair flow while your jersey dangles in the wind in the 3-on-3 All Star game.

A little trivia... where did his nickname "Juice" come from...?

“In Manchester, I didn’t really have a nickname there. It came after I was on a hot streak in the Finals,” he said. And thus, an organic nickname was born. Kempe was “Juice” because he provided the team some juice during the Monarchs’ romp to the 2015 Calder Cup, his first exposure to North American playoff hockey.

* Kempe gonna get PAID this off-season!
 
Very well deserved, and I'm very glad he's evolved into the assertive player he can be, love this dude and he does it all for this team.
 
I don't care about the All-Star game, though I like watching the skills competition sometimes, I am happy that Kempe gets to represent LA. It is well deserved. I am a little nervous about him doing all this in a contract year, but I feel he may earn that too and become consistent enough to deserve it and be worth it.

kempe might be the most skilled player on the team. hes going to look a lot better than kopi and drew 3 on 3 thats for sure
 
Excited to see him in the fastest skater contest

Every team should be able to send one player for each skills competition. Kings could send Frk hardest shot, AA/Wagner fastest skater, Quick saves, Accuracy ???. Give them a decent $ bonus for being selected and an extra big one for winning - makes it more interesting.
 
Good thing TM isn't coaching the West this year -- but maybe he couldn't even mess up a 3-on-3 lineup with an All-Star team (Sarcasm -- yes)
