Even I would laugh at the thought of Rafalski in the hardest shots competition, but who knows. You hear stories in baseball about non-sluggers like Wade Boggs who can put on a HR derby show in batting practice. Maybe Raf can actually fire the puck and doesn't do it in games just because his wrist shot is so much better (and more accurate)? :noclue:

Rafalski will be the only shooter in the contest firing wrist shots looking for deflections.

Hahaha.

Go Devils!

I'll be watching some of it, maybe, if I get out of class early enough---if my roommates aren't watching some already--though my friend Karen loves staring at "hot hockey players" her favorite part of games are when they're not wearing helmets before the game. So this means I'm always at games waaaay too early. :rolleyes:

Brian Rafalski spent part of today greeting returning US troops in Dallas at the airport.

It's a really nice gesture, Miller was there also, but I wonder if any of the troops actually knew who he was?

I'd love to see Rafalski go up against Phaneuf for the hardest shot, that'd be the biggest mismatch since Whitey's penalty shot against Mike Richter :boogie:

Parise scores first for the East YoungStars yay. Ironic too after the sideline guy mentions Parise's penchant for getting the team's first goal.
