    In true ASG fashion, this entire thing is a giant publicity stunt (as it should be). The choices for team captains is great! Kelley Steadman has rapidly become a fan favourite, not just for the Beauts fans, but the entire league. And of course, Amanda Kessel has replaced Hilary Knight as the face of the league. Never mind that Kessel has been injured and has only played 1 game so far this season. The choice to have it in Pittsburgh is also a great choice for publicity. It's no coincidence that they're playing at the Pittsburgh Penguins practice facility, the team that has Phil Kessel, Amanda Kessel's brother. He recently sent out a tweet, asking people to buy his sister's jersey. I'm pretty sure Amanda and Phil had a lot to do with the location of this year's ASG. The timing of this whole thing is really off - the league is having major financial struggles right now and should be focusing on their four home teams. But I realize the plans for the ASG have probably been in the works for many months, so it would have been a big waste of time and money to change locations at this point. I hope the game will be a success, but anybody hoping that the league will be expanding to Pittsburgh any time soon is dreaming.

      I also saw some videos floating around on tumblr today that had Phil talking about the ASG. I'm assuming they'll be pulled because they're from a subscription site that heavily monitors tumblr and pushes copyright notices.

        What is really interesting is that there is a CW connection here. And I think this would have been a great idea is to have an all-star team from the two leagues in a game in Pittsburgh. The connection is that Phil and Amanda's brother who is somewhere in the American League is dating Courtney Birchard of the Brampton Thunder. If you look at a lot of the Kessel family pictures that have been on line, you will see Courtney holding up the Cup along with Amanda.
        What a show that would be, the best of the CW and the best of the NW. I would go to Pittsburgh for that one. Anyway, it's just a thought. Promote that Phil!
