The remaining spots on the All-Star rosters were announced at noon this afternoon and the Rangers’ lone representative is Scott Gomez.  In my mind, it’s well deserved.  Gomez has been everything Rangers fans could hope for this season, something that really can’t be said about many players on the Blueshirt roster.

 The big snub to me is Michael Rozsival.  Rozsi is tops in the league in goal scoring by a defenseman and has been solid on the defensive end as well.  He’s a guy who clearly doesn’t get the recognition he deserves around this league and this is just another example of it.

 Lundqvist is the only other semi-suprise; “The King” (although that’s questionable now) getting beaten out by Rick DiPietro and Tomas Vokoun.  To me it’s the right call.  The first 25 games this season, Lundqvist was a lock for the Vezina and maybe the Hart, but his unbelievable fallout in recent weeks has completely nullified the fantastic start.  On another note, it might not be that bad that Lundy has to sit out.  He needs a break in the worst way.
