In comes Shea Weber

Arguable still the greatest Nashville Predator of all time, Shea Weber crashed the party for the All-Star game in what would be the first of several in his career.

Weber wouldn’t record a point in the game, but it was still so cool to see a young player like he was make the All-Star game. We all knew we had a special player at that early point in his career.

The East would beat the West 12-11 after going to a shootout. None other than Alexander Ovechkin would score the game-winning shootout goal to get the victory for the East.

It’s also worth noting that Pekka Rinne participated in the YoungStars game which was rookies against sophomores. He would make 20 saves and represent the Predators in a big way as his future was obviously bright.
