Finally, the day of the All Star Game had arrived! First, I would like to thank the Weather Gods for smiling down upon Raleigh - it was sunny and in the 60's. PERFECT tailgating weather! The RBC Center was packed with excited hockey fans. I don't think I had ever seen a line so long at The Eye! People were def snatching up the All Star gear!
The house definitely on Team Staal's side. You could here "Let's Go Staal" and Let's Go Skinner" being shouted throughout the game. Even though there was no checking and no fights, it was a close score almost the whole time, which kept the game exciting. In the end, Team Lindstrom outscored Team Staal,11-10. Despite being on the losing team, Patrick Sharp of the Chicago Blackhawks was named MVP.
The Carolina Hurricanes definitely got a boost from this weekend. Tomorrow's home game against the Boston Bruins has already sold out. Check out "Watch Hockey in Raleigh" on the right-hand side bar if you are looking for a place to watch the game.
Go Canes!
