GUERIN: TREMBLAY DESERVES TO START ASG AT RW
Earlier this week, the NFHL announced the starters for the All-Star Game in Los Angeles, with Rockies superstar Mario Tremblay narrowly edging out Blackhawks forward Bill Guerin as the Campbell Conference starting RW by only 1 point. Until a recent trade for Jeremy Roenick and subsequent position change, Tremblay had been playing LW for Colorado, which has resulted in some Chicago fans and media debating whether or not he deserves to get the RW spot ahead of their favorite player. At the team's media session on Saturday, Guerin quickly shut down this discussion.
"Mario has been an outstanding player in this league for a long time. He's an excellent ambassador for the game, a champion, a leader, a future Hall of Famer, and a role model. What he's doing at age 40 is nothing short of amazing," said Guerin. "Its exciting to be recognized next to him, but he deserves to be the starter. He's earned it. The Chicago media voted for him to start and I would have voted the same way."
