Here’s a look at how Pierre LeBrun (Team Hearst) and Scott Burnside (Team Where’s Ovie?) divvied up the All-Stars who decided to show up at this weekend’s All-Star Game in Ottawa, in order of their selections. Each team was required to select three goaltenders and at least six defensemen. LeBrun selected first because it’s a home game for him, meaning Burnside picked last overall. (Editor's note: Forwards are designated with an "F" rather than by specific forward position because that's just way the All-Star Game rolls.)
