It has recently come to light that Commissioner Gary Bettman has threatened to suspend players for either one game before or one game following the All-Star Break. In fact Detroit's Lidstrom and Datsyuk have already been suspended for missing this glorious opportunity.
Lidstrom has been to the All-Star game how many times now? I'm sure he's well tired of it.
I think it's bull. If these players don't want to play in this game, which in my opinion is a bit of a joke anyway, then they shouldn't have to. Perhaps after a player has attended twice or three times they are exempt from having to play in the game if they don't want to. Most of the fans I talk to here in Edmonton don't watch the game any way, and if they do it's so they can complain about how terrible it was.
Besides: it's not like the NHL doesn't have enough 'All-Stars' to substitute in for those who choose not to attend.
