Scott Niedermayer and Henrik Zetterberg will be replaced by Andy Mcdonald and Ed Jovanoski at the all-star game. I don't know why Zetterberg isn't playing but Niedermayer is resting some type of injury. http://www.nbcsports.com/nhl/875215/detail.html
Well, I still think that Jovo should not be there, but there are guys that should be there over Fitzpatrick too. I would have prefered to see Liles, or Rory's team mate Kevin Bieksa on the team before Jovonoski.
I heard that Niedermayer is nursing a fracture in his foot. Even though it's a honor to play in the all-star game, it's pretty hard to blame a guy for wanting to rest. Especially when the guy plays 25+ minutes a game and his team has a very ligitimate shot at the Cup.
