    Default [Rumor] Ottawa to host 2012 All-Star Game

    From Howard Bloom (followed by credible people) on twitter:

    Rumor du Jour: Gary Bettman in Ottawa on September 15 to announce the 2012 NHL All-Star Weekend will be hosted by the Ottawa Senators
    I don't care that much for the ASG but it would be neat to have all the stars in town and it would be great to get some exposure in Ottawa. If this is true, it's about time we hosted this event! Cities like Atlanta already hosted an ASG for crying out loud!

    Exposure for Ottawa? What are they in danger of folding the franchise or something?

    So close. Regin instead of Alfie and Cowen instead of Gonchar

    The fact that they're building world-class convention facilities here in Ottawa is probably the reason this is finally happening. I'm not a senators fan by any means, but I'm glad to see a Canadian city host the game. It's a slap in the face of true hockey fans that the ASG always seems to go to markets where the team is in trouble to try and stir up interest. It should be a reward to fans who actually support their team.

    Give them an opportunity to drop $200 on a 300-level ticket.
