Thomas, Chara, Savard, named All-Stars: Karsums recalled, Bergeron to talk to media tomorrow

*Tim Thomas, Zdeno Chara, and Marc Savard will be going to Montreal for the All-Star Game as Eastern Conference reserves.
Now, the first thought is to think, alright three Bruins in the game. However, there were some guys that might have deserved to crack the lineup, like the teams leading goal scorer, Phil Kessel. In not making the team, Kessel, who was certainly deserving of an All-Star selection, will miss out on a $212,500 bonus because he didn't make the roster.
*In a move that was not made until late, thanks to Milan Lucic not being able to go, Martins Karsums was promoted from Providence on emergency recall. Karsums appeared in one game for the big club this season. It just shows how much the Bruins are beat up as Karsums is the third Bruins call up from Providence due to injury. Vladimir Sobotka and Martin St. Pierre have already been called up and were on skating on the fourth line tonight.

*Finally, and most importantly Patrice Bergeron will speak about his concussion suffered on Dec. 20. tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. at TD Banknorth Garden. This will be the first time Bergeron will speak to the media since suffering the concussion.
