|  | | The West All-Stars celebrate their shootout victory. |
The 53rd NHL All-Star Game had a unique flavor. Dany Heatley did something rare: In his game debut, he scored four regulation goals and added an assist to tie a record. Even more rare: The game went to a shootout for the first time, with the West coming out on top 3-1 to earn a 6-5 victory over Heatley and the East. The youthful, competitive game delighted ESPN's hockey experts and, EJ Hradek writes, excited players, too.
