Choosing my 2013 All-NHL Team: Western Conference

sergei-bobrovsky.jpg

What about Bob? Where would the Blue Jackets be without netminder Sergei Bobrovsky?

When the NHL announces its annual All-Star teams at the league?s awards show in June, it will stick with a formula that rings a bit untrue this season. How, after all, can someone be an All-NHL player if he hasn?t played against the entire NHL?

In coming up with our end-of-regular season honors, we?ve decided that the lockout-abbreviated campaign requires a different take, so our All-NHL teams will be broken down by conference to reflect the unique scheduling.

Here are our Western honorees.

Goaltender: Sergei Bobrovsky, Blue Jackets
If the Hart was true its roots and awarded to the player who was most valuable to his team, Bobrovsky would be the runaway winner. Not to diminish the improved efforts of his teammates, but without him, the Jackets are competing for first-overall in the draft instead of a playoff spot. Through Tuesday, the year?s breakthrough star boasted a 2.06 GAA and a .930 save percentage that was tops in the conference.

Gaborik facing surgery as soon as Thursday

'Tis the season not only for playoff hockey, but also surgical repairs, and Blue Jackets winger Marian Gaborik is set for abdominal surgery. [The operation] will require a three- to four-week recovery, forcing him to miss playing for Slovakia in the IIHF World Championships. According to one of Gaborik's agents, the surgery is to repair an area of his abdomen where a hernia surgery was performed in 2001. ... [Gaborik] is expected to be 100 percent for the start of Blue Jackets training camp. Gaborik traveled to Philadelphia on Tuesday with Blue Jackets trainer Mike Vogt, and they were met there by one of Gaborik's agents, Ron Salcer. Dr. William Meyers, who has treated some of the biggest names in sports, [examined] Gaborik. Surgery will be performed soon, perhaps on Thursday.
