Six Bruins Receive All Star Votes

With the All Star in Los Angeles approaching, NFHL GMs voted on players they thought were worthy of All Star consideration. In last year's festivities, Troy Murray was voted a starter in the game. Of course, he was traded in the off-season to Florida in return for Fred Boimistruck, who has brought stability to Boston's back end. That move also allowed the promotion of Owen Nolan to the top line, which has paid dividends so far this season.

Bruins receiving votes this year were:

C Alexander Mogilny

LW Owen Nolan

D Rob Blake

D Fred Boimistruck

D Dmitri Miromov

G Dominik Hasek

It's certainly the most Bruins that have received votes in this current GM's tenure. "I think we've got a good core here for some long term success," said the GM. "Hopefully we've made the moves to help make us more competitive this season."

So just because these players received votes that doesn't mean that they'll be playing in the game. The All Star rosters for the Wales Conference hasn't yet been announced, but I think we can expect Mogilny and Hasek to play, with Blake being a long shot. I feel the other three didn't garner enough votes to be considered, especially with every team having to send a representative.
