Iginla and Lecavalier To Be All-Star Captains

by Jeanne on January 18th, 2008

iginla and lecavalier Jarome Iginla (Calgary Flames) and Vincent Lecavalier (Tampa Bay Lightning) will be the captains for the Eastern and Western teams (respectively) in the NHL All-Stars game on January 27, 2008.

This just made the game all that more interesting for me.  Being a Calgary Flames fan, I can still taste the bitterness of having lost the Stanley Cup finals to the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004.  Back then, the two squared off and scrapped during Game 3, a game the Flames went on to win.  Phantom goals aside, the series went to game 7 and was a truly heartbreaking, emotional loss for the Flames and their fans. 

I know it’s not the Stanley Cup finals or anything but I’m hoping Iggy and Lecavalier bring some of that emotion to the ice during the All-Stars game.  Should be fun!
