The NHL announced today the players that would be added to the 2012 NHL All-Star roster and four members of  the Philadelphia Flyers will be there. The Flyers will send forwards Claude Giroux, Matt Read, and Sean Couturier along with defenseman Kimmo Timonen. Giroux should have been voted a starter in the game, but it looks like he suffered from ballot stuffing in Ottawa. Giroux currently sits second in points in the league.  I guess this gave Giroux a nice birthday gift, happy 24th G. For the complete All-Star roster you can check it out here. Here is your schedule for All-Star Week Thursday, January 26: 2012 NHL All-Star Fantasy Draft 8:00 PM EST Saturday, January 28: 2012 Molson Canadian NHL All-Star Skills Competition 7:00 PM EST Sunday, January 29: 2012 Tim Horton’s NHL All-Star Game 4:00 PM EST Follow Johnny on Twitter @RealMacHatter.
