2009 NHL All-Star Game

Jay Bouwmeester had a pretty good performance during last night's skills competition, finishing in the middle during the fastest skater competition and then scoring in the shootout event at the end before being eliminated in the second round.

He did better tonight.

Bouwmeester assisted on an early goal that made it 2-1 for the East way back in the first period and then picked up another assist in the latter half of the third period on the goal that tied the game at 10. When the West reclaimed the lead two minutes later, Bouwmeester gave the East his third point of the evening by taking a pass from Alexander Ovechkin, moving in on net and firing the puck past Roberto Luongo high to the stick side.

The goal tied the game at 11, and ultimately was won by the Eastern Conference in a shootout.



I'm just finishing up transcribing the interview that CBC had with Carey Price, which centered largely on Price's relationship with his cousin, Keaton Ellerby.
