WHEELER SCORES HAT TRICK AS THE ROOKIES BEAT THE ELDERS



Going into the All-Star game in Montreal Boston Bruins rookie Blake Wheeler didn't expect to put the puck in 3 times against a goalie like Carey Price. Wheeler was just happy to be in the All-Star atmosphere in Montreal."It's a great thing to have that rivalry for the fans to show their passion and feelings for our team," said Wheeler, whose teammates Zdeno Chara, Tim Thomas and Marc Savard will play in the main all-star game on Sunday. "It's great for the sport." You Can tell that Price was not trying hard to win because he didn't want to injure his ankle. Even though Price was not playing his best game,he still made some great saves.

As for Leafs rookie Luke Schenn he has not scored his first NHL goal yet,but he still managed to score his first NHL All-Star goal."Playing three-on-three was a bit of a challenge,"said Luke Schenn, the Toronto Maple Leafs rookie."Guys are just out here feeling it out," he told CBC Sports, of the game, which had consisted of three, five-minute periods. "We haven't really played three on three in a while."This was a great game,even though it was only 15 minutes.Carey Price will play in the first 20 minutes of tomorrow nights all star game.
