The frivolity of the All-Star break is nearly over. We've taken the opportunity to slow down a little here at Defending Big D this weekend and draw breath for the home stretch of February and March. 16 games in 29 days will tax even bloggers, believe it or not. Hard work and analysis resumes tomorrow for all the hockey world, and the Stars next take the ice Wednesday night in Anaheim.
Benn will skate today, reportedly, on a line with Patrick Kane and Jordan Eberle for Team Chara this afternoon. Find the game at 3:00pm CST on NBC Sports Network. Not NBC proper. No. They're showing Figure Skating Championships at the conclusion of Bull Riding. Seriously.
Steve Ott had a laugh at Benn's expense this afternoon regarding a photoshoot, for those of you who are twitterless...
@otter2nine: @jamiebenn14 pic.twitter.com/xdifQaPM" -hahahahaha #zoolander #ridiculouslygoodlooking
Jamie merely shrugged it off...
@jamiebenn14: @otter2nine you know you love it 29
Ott responded in kind...
@otter2nine: @jamiebenn14 I do, your the sexiest most eligible bachelor in Dallas, now go be the MVP of that shit. #underratedmyass
Indeed.
Talk about it here. Serious hockey business resumes tomorrow when the Stars hit the ice for practice in Frisco at 2pm.

I kind of miss serious hockey bizness
But I will definitely take the break to get giggle-worth pictures of Jamie Benn like the one with this story.

Why is Kane centering Benn and not the other way around?
Kane moved back to the wing in Chicago a while ago.

The Sens should not have 4 players in this game.
Yes it’s in Ottawa but I don’t think this should be a who has the most biased fans contest.
Quick, Thomas, Howard, Kane...can't think of any more off the top of my head now

Not a fan of the guy they got to sing our Anthem either
I never heard such a “weak” sounding rendition
I'm pretty sure Javier wore a hat every episode of "the voice"
I’m sure thats why it was weak.

I liked the O Canada scene from Edmonton
The singer stops singing for a bit to let the fans sing it. Really cool.
Yeah
But an amazing pass from pavel datsyuk

Wow.... this game could be a blowout lol

This is identical to a game of NHL 12 online
2 cherry pickers, and a defenseman who thinks he is a forward.

Without injury he might be there.

It's too bad we can't get better commentators for the game.
Emrick and McGuire are terrible, and JR doesn’t pay attention half the time.
They really are.

JR "Scotty Hartnell plays in your face, physical game"
SH literally skates into suter and seguin. Lets not play that card JR.

Well rather then watching the game I’ll be putting on the skates and my Modano jersey and playing my first game of hockey in about 3 years! I’m quite excited! It’ll only be my second game in my life so…. this could be entertaining. I’m thinking the jersey will give me some good luck though ;) I’ll try to make it look as good as I can! Hopefully I’ll come back and see a few points for Benn on the board =)
Gotta love Carey Price.
@NHL: @CanadianTire interviewed #TeamChara Price. His thoughts on going into the 2nd: “I feel like a lamb being led to slaughter” #NHLAllStar

It must be frutrating for Benn to hold back from playing his normal game.
It’s not making him look great
Probably taking it easy so he doesn't pop stitches

They probably just sealed it up with that weird glue stuff.

Was he a rapper?
I turned it off, can’t stand rap. It all seems a bit second rate entertainment wise

I think it shows what type of player he really is
When he’s forced to play soft, he’s pretty brutal :P.
Did you ever think you would watch a game where Jamie Benn is the only forward without a shot?
I think it’s all a secret plan. He made too much noise in the skills comp. He has to fade out of the lime light somehow.
It doesn't surprise me that Jamie is defering to his
elders … err, linemates. He did that for a long time here too.
Nice of you to double take on that

Had it on in the other room and would check out some of the goals when I heard the horn.
Ah
He was playing with Kane and Eberle
