Chara broke the 16 year old Hardest Shot record Saturday night and won his third consecutive Hardest Shot contest recording a 105.4 MPH laser beam. The previous record was held by Al Iafrate at 105.2 in 1993.
Blake Wheeler also took home a new trophy. He was the MVP of the young stars game, netting 3 goals to lead the rookies over the sophmores. This kid has some mad skills.
Marc Savard finished second the Elimination Shootout behind Phoenix’s Shane Doan.
Who could forget Timmy, he came up with save after save.
Lets hope the trend continues and the B’s players can help lead the EAST to a victory tonight.

Blake Wheeler and Milan Lucic will be heading up to Montreal to participate in the YoungStars Game at All-Star Weekend. This year the NHL is going to have the rookies play the sophmores in a game of 3 on 3. This should be really fun to watch. More information here

The NHL announced today that Boston Bruins Zdeno Chara, Marc Savard and Tim Thomas have been named to the Eastern Conference All-Star roster for the 2009 NHL All-Star game.
I’m glad they got Timmy on board, he deserves to be there.
So our Eastern team looks like this.
