Will Kessel go first? Last? Somewhere in between? Oh the excitement is almost too much for me! Speaking of All-Star games, I was at the CHL Top Prospects game last night, and I'll have a bit more on that experience later, but it was what we want an All-Star game to be. Not quite the best out of the CHL, those are usually the kids who are in their post-draft year, but some of the best players facing off in an actual hockey game that matters to them, and holds meaning. There were quite a few big hits thrown, a moment where we thought someone broke Connor McDavid, and another kid limping off the ice. Am I saying I want the All-Star Game to become the Thunderdome? Yes. #### Leafs Links [Justin and Jeffler Pick Their All-Star Teams | The LeafsNation](http://theleafsnation.com/2015/1/22/justin-and-jeffler-pick-their-all-star-teams?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) They stole this from my blog the damn thieves [Vintage Leaf Memories - Which Maple Leafs on this roster really deserve to be Leafs?](http://www.vintageleafmemories.com/2015/01/which-maple-leafs-on-this-roster-really.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [BWB Post-Game: Game 48 - Toronto @ Ottawa](http://blueandwhitebrotherhood.blogspot.ca/2015/01/bwb-post-game-game-48-toronto-ottawa.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Come on, you want to re-live it.
