The two-hour fun fest that is All-Star Weekend media day kicked off with the game's three coaches --
Claude Julien, John Tortorella and
Todd McLellan holding court for about 10 minutes apiece as the media engulfed them with questions about Sunday's game.
Tortorella, who is coaching Team Alfredsson, said he plans on letting Alfredsson and
Henrik Lundqvist make all the lineup decisions while he sits back and watches like a fan. It'll be interesting to see if he maintains that stance if Lundqvist starts double shifting Rangers teammate
Dan Girardi in the third period.
The first players to take their spots in their podiums are
Zdeno Chara,
Marian Gaborik,
Dennis Wideman,
Dion Phaneuf and
Jamie Benn.
Stay tuned for more updates on the happenings on media day.
