We thought we'd get into the All-Star spirit in this week's latest list.

Some players chose not to make the trip (Martin Brodeur, Roberto Luongo), some didn't have a choice (Sidney Crosby, Paul Stastny) and others are just happy to be there (Tim Thomas was a late addition).

You can weigh in and rank your 30 teams here.

Until next time, enjoy puckheads!

2007-2008 Power Rankings: Week 15
	RK (PV)	TEAM	REC.	COMMENT
	1 (2)	Red Wings	36-10-4	Henrik Zetterberg? Pavel Datsyuk? Nicklas Lidstrom? Yeah, no shock there. But the fact that Chris Osgood is in Atlanta and Dominik Hasek is not ... who saw that coming before the start of this season?
	2 (1)	Sharks	26-15-7	Evgeni Nabokov has had just one day off this season, so why should he stop at the All-Star break?
	3 (3)	Devils	28-17-3	Martin Brodeur was voted the starting netminder for the East squad, but a family obligation will keep him from traveling to Hotlanta.
	4 (4)	Senators	30-15-4	Hey, Daniel Alfredsson, wanna get away? With Ottawa dropping five of its last six games, we would too.
	5 (5)	Penguins	27-17-4	Evgeni Malkin finally makes the All-Star roster, but not the way he wanted to. The forward and the NHL will miss fellow Penguin Sidney Crosby at the festivities.
	6 (7)	Ducks	27-18-6	Scott Niedermayer is named to the West squad after Brian Burke threatens to hold another duke-out session with Kevin Lowe.
	7 (8)	Flames	25-17-8	Jarome Iginla is not only going to the All-Star Game, but he'll serve as captain for the Western Conference team. Are MVP honors around the corner?
	8 (6)	Wild	27-19-3	Think Marian Gaborik will be able to show off more offensive skills during All-Star weekend?
	9 (10)	Flyers	26-16-5	With three goals and nine assists in his last 10 games and 55 points on the season, Mike Richards is headed to Atlanta.
	10 (12)	Stars	28-19-5	Sergei Zubov, the NHL's other he-makes-it-look-so-easy defenseman in the West.
	11 (9)	Canadiens	25-15-8	The fans have spoken and defenseman Andrei Markov is their East starter.
	12 (13)	Islanders	24-19-6	Rick DiPietro got his confiscated pads back and he's ready to go!
	13 (11)	Canucks	25-19-5	As Roberto Luongo skipping the trip, how will Henrik Sedin survive a weekend without his twin, Daniel?
	14 (17)	Coyotes	25-21-2	With all respect to Ed Jovanovski, it might have been more fun to see Peter Mueller play with the big boys.
	15 (15)	Rangers	23-21-6	Doesn't it seem odd that Scott Gomez is going to the All-Star Game instead of Henrik Lundqvist?
	16 (14)	Blues	22-18-6	For the first time in his nine-year NHL career, Manny Legace will make the trip to the All-Star Game.
	17 (16)	Hurricanes	24-24-4	Eric Staal is still off pace from his 2005-06 season, but he's still making the trip for the Canes.
	18 (18)	Avalanche	26-19-4	Paul Stastny was Colorado's lone All-Star bid, but he unfortunately joined Joe Sakic and Ryan Smyth on the injured list.
	19 (19)	Blue Jackets	24-20-6	That insane goal against the Phoenix last week is all the proof you need for Mr. Rick Nash.
	20 (24)	Predators	25-20-4	Still standing tall with the Preds after a tumultuous offseason, Jason Arnott will head to Atlanta.
	21 (20)	Bruins	24-19-5	Marc Savard earns a nod, while Tim Thomas' appearance is one of our feel-good stories of this weekend.
	22 (25)	Capitals	22-21-5	Alexander Ovechkin makes another appearance, but will he eat potato chips this time?
	23 (23)	Blackhawks	23-22-4	Duncan Keith, not to be confused with Duncan Sheik, heads south for Chicago. Patrick Kane is a YoungStar, but he falls into our previous Mueller argument.
	24 (21)	Oilers	22-24-5	Fans are breathing easier as Shawn Horcoff is on pace for the best season of his career. (Nice rebound from his minus-22 campaign in 2006-07.)
	25 (22)	Sabres	20-21-6	Brian Campbell, NHL All-Star and future trade and/or free-agency bait.
	26 (27)	Panthers	22-24-4	Tomas Vokoun makes his second All-Star trip, his first for the Panthers (he represented the Predators in 2004).
	27 (26)	Thrashers	23-25-3	Ilya Kovalchuk doesn't have to travel far for the festivities.
	28 (29)	Lightning	20-24-5	Vincent Lecavalier will serve as the East's captain and Martin St. Louis will also make the trip. It means Brad Richards is the odd man out from the big three. Is this a subliminal message for Bolts management?!
	29 (28)	Kings	19-29-2	Anze Kopitar just shows how bright the future is for the Kings.
	30 (30)	Maple Leafs	19-22-8	Tomas Kaberle escapes the chaos in Toronto for the friendly confines of hockey-mad Atlanta.
