There will be no NHL player to represent Winnipeg at this year's all-star game in Ottawa. With the lower abdominal injury to defenceman Dustin Byfuglien and concussion-like symptoms keeping Evander Kane, who surely would have been Big Buff's replacement on the sidelines for the immediate future, for the first time that I can remember since 1980;
no Winnipeg Jet will be partcipating in the 2012 NHL All-Star Classic.
