Palffy Stars in All Star Game

In this train wreck of a season for the Boston Bruins, fans are looking for ANYTHING to cheer about. Having two players in the All Star Game could give players something to cheer about, though. One of them, Dominik Hasek, was a backup goaltender and never saw the ice in the game. The other was the Bruins MVP to this point in the season who is looking to prove himself on the league's biggest stage with the other stars. Ziggy Palffy has been Mr. Everything to this team and has even started to show his versatility by killing penalties.

Palffy was on a line with Luc Robitaille and Dale Hawerchuk and they were dominant. In an 8-3 Wales victory, the line accounted for 3 of the goals, with Hawerchuk going 1G 2A, Robitaille having 2G and Palffy playing the role of set up man with 3A. For his efforts, Palffy was named third star.

"Just a great experience all weekend," said Palffy. "From the Skills Competition to the game itself, just a lot of fun to be with all these great players and show that I belong."

Hopefully, Palffy and Hasek can bring back some of the winning mojo to Boston and they can start winning some games.
