The speculation is officially over, the National Hockey League has announced the complete All-Star Game rosters.  As always, there are a few surprises, as well as a few notables missing, but the rosters still are solid, and should provide an entertaining matchup on February 8th in Minnesota.  Dallas and New Jersey both lead the way with 3 representatives each (all starters as well interestingly enough.)  And this season, it appears as if the Montreal Canadiens will have some representation in the game, as both Jose Theodore and Sheldon Souray have both been selected as reserve players.


The following are the Eastern Conference All-Stars:  (players in bold are starters)


Goaltenders:


Martin Brodeur (NJ), Roberto Luongo (FLA), Jose Theodore (MON)
