The 2009 NHL All-Star Game certianly didn't dissapoint, as the players put on quite a show from start to finish up in Montreal. The Eastern Conference team pulled out an exciting 12-11 shootout win Sunday night and gave the fans more than their money's worth.

Evgeni Malkin came away with the title of most accurate shooter by winning the shooting competition. He went 4 for 4 in the first round, and then won the event by going 3 for 4 in the final round.

He didn't stop there though, as he also scored a highlight goal during the All-Star game. Malkin put the puck between his legs and fired home the trick shot.

Eric Staal and Patrick Kane also ended up on the scoresheet by picking up goals of their own. It was Staal's third straight All-Star Game and he has now scored at least one goal in each of the games. For Kane, it was his All-Star debut and he has started his career on the right foot.

Finally, for the second straight year Tim Thomas put on quite a show and came away with the win. Thomas was also the winning goalie at last year's game in Atlanta. He made some incredible saves on Sunday including stopping the Western Conference on both of their shootout attempts.
