Ouch for the guy who gets picked last for the NHL All-Star Game
Well, the players are all selected in advance.
That's not the point. You still get the monicker of being the guy picked last for the game. It's hilarious.
Anyway, maybe now is a good time to point out that the NHL has come up with a new way to pick teams for the All-Star Game. This year, they're going to have captains pick the teams, in a fashion very similar to grade-school dodgeball. Apologies to those of you who live in Maine, Maryland, New York, Virginia, Texas, Massachusetts and Utah, as Dodgeball has been banned from schools in those states, so you may not know what I'm talking about. (No, I'm not making that list up)
Anyway...canonically speaking, the most athletic and popular kids are chosen first, then on down the schoolyard food chain until you get to the dorky kid who wears glasses and is athletically clutzy as the final pick. So, even though he will be one of the top hockey players in the world, somebody is going to be the dorky kid with glasses who gets picked last for the All-Star game...and I'm looking forward to finding out who it is.
You never wore glasses.
Which just makes it that much more unfair!
