The NHL All-Star Player Fantasy Draft is taking place in Gatineau (which is just north of Ottawa for those who are geographically curious) at Casino du Lac-Leamy on January 26th. This Capital City All-Star Draft will follow the same format as last year: 2 captains, along with their alternates, will pick from the pool of 30 players on the draft floor. Your captains will be Daniel Alfredsson from the Ottawa Senators and Zdeno Chara from the Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins (expect to hear boos for the big man from the still bitter Sens faithful in attendance).

The Bruins ended a whirlwind of an off-season on a high. A summer of hanging out with the Stanley Cup (shirts optional) and celebrating is tough work. And wearing those heavy championship rings can make even a conditioned athlete tired. Boston were suffering from a serious case of cup hangover when the season kicked off. They limped to a 3-7 start in October and many were wondering what happened. Did the loss of Ryder, Kaberle and Reechi have that deep of an impact on this club?
