From TSN's James Duthie (@tsnjamesduthie): The recognition of Alfie as an All-Star Game captain has been somewhat of a foregone conclusion since he was announced as one of three three starting forwards for the game itself back on January 5th. The decision to select the Big Z was relatively unforeseen. With the amount of buildup for a potentialy extension of the Battle of Ontario, those who had hoped Dion Phaneuf would be named as the other captain will be disappointed.According to the NHLPA's website:
The Captains were selected by their fellow NHL All-Stars and will lead the team selection process during the 2012 Molson Canadian NHL All-Star Player Fantasy DraftTM on Thursday, Jan. 26. As captains, Alfredsson and Chara also will set their team rosters for the 2012 Molson Canadian NHL All-Star Skills CompetitonTM on Saturday, Jan. 28, and wear the “C” during the 2012 Tim Hortons NHL® All-Star Game on Sunday, Jan. 29."

There are plenty of reasons why the rest of the NHL doesn’t like the Leafs captain, the two-time defending most over-rated player in the league.
Just a few: His glower; his glower and his glower...

On Tuesday Ottawa Senators Nick Foligno did something most of the NHL wants to do on a nightly basis, punch Toronto Maple Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf in the face. And he proceeded to do so several times before adding in a solid hockey-sweater-pull-over-the-head move too. All in all, a solid effort!
