The All-Star Weekend Thread: January 22-25, 2015 (questions, info, meetups, etc here)

I'm betting custom lettering and numbers will be available for these jerseys soon...as far as turnaround, I'd have no idea how long that would take

After the player draft you will be able to get player jerseys. Kind of hard to do it now when no one knows who's on what team.

They can do heat pressed numbers quickly.

This isn't totally a "jersey thread", but why wouldn't CBJ marketing brass offer the CBJ player names on the All Star jerseys? Do they not want my money?

See my post above. They have to know what team the players are on first and we will not know that until the draft on the 22nd happens.

I sure hope you're right.. as ugly as they are I'm itching to get a Bobrovsky or Foligno jersey that hopefully ends up being signed.

Any idea when they are going to give specifics of the Fan Fair, who's appearing and such?

Im volunteering help for the zamboni at the outdoor rink on Sunday morning/afternoon, figured a good way to be part of the event

I'm betting this weekend is when most details for the whole weekend will come out.

If Brett Hull is there, be sure to kick him in the nuts for me, he knows why

Foligno and Toews captains

 

[MFRONE]

Team Foligno will wear the black sweaters

Foligno and Toews captains

Well deserved. Good for Nicky

And I'm sure there will be complaining.

From what I've been seeing on the mains since the rosters were named the complaining will be that its not Foligno and Nash . So many people wanted a Nash vs Columbus thing to happen

Well that would have been... amusing... but I like this better.

Nicky should draft Bob first (of course, and have Bob play the 3rd) then Nash, then Joey, provided he's still there. Just because.

 

[Jackets Fan]

Nick Foligno named all-star team Captain

Yep, Nick will captain one team, Jonathan Toews the other.

Lol the fans' collective heads would asplode.

Lol, when I said "just because" I actually meant "because (what you just said)".


BAH! Per Jacket Fan's link:

In addition, Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings and Patrick Kane of the Blackhawks have been named Assistant Captains of Team Foligno, while Ryan Getzlaf of the Anaheim Ducks and Rick Nash of the New York Rangers have been named Assistant Captains of Team Toews.

I don't revall. Is this only for draft purposes or do they actually wear a C or an A on their jerseys for the game.

 

[Jovavic]

After taking Bob first, Foglino needs to get Jake

Edit: Would be funny if Toews uses his first four picks on his teammates

Per the story I quoted above, Kane is an Assistant Captain for Team Nicky.

They will wear letters.

 

[MAHJ71]

Just need a Foligno all star jersey with a C on it now.

For some reason, I can see Foligno letting Joey sit there for awhile to make him squirm a bit.

"Long-term" PSL holders just got offered opportunity to buy tickets for the ASG draft. Email said very limited tickets. Guess I was thinking it would be open to anyone at Fan Fair Friday night, but maybe they're going to have roped off area for ticket holders? Pretty cool gesture though by NHL and CBJ.
