>No surprise here, as former Redskin and current San Jose Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle was named today, to the 2009 Western Conference All-Star roster.

This is Boyle’s first all-star selection. He is currently tied for the lead among NHL defensemen for both goals (12) and points (32). He also has 20 assists.

Congratulations on a well deserved all-star selection, Dan!
