NHL adds to Alfredsson's honours
The accolades keeping rolling in for Daniel Alfredsson.
After scoring twice in Sunday?s NHL all star game and being saluted by the fans at Scotiabank Place, the Senators captain was selected as the NHL?s third star of the week Monday.
The 39-year-old not only scored in the club?s final two games leading up to the break, he had goals 1:31 apart in Team Alfredsson?s 12-9 loss to Team Chara.
?We?ve been put on a pedestal pretty much the whole weekend, and we?ve tried to get back and tell everybody how good a city this is, the fans we have, good facilities,? said Alfredsson Sunday night. ?This is a great sports city. And we get so much focus because hockey is basically it, especially right now.?
The Senators return to practice Monday afternoon at 2 p.m. to prepare to face the Boston Bruins Tuesday night at the TD Garden.

A Salute to Alfredsson
OTTAWA - The only thing missing from Daniel Alfredsson?s magical Sunday at Scotiabank Place was a third goal.
Twice, the Senators captain brought the crowd to its feet and had the 20,510 that jammed the building chanting ?Alfie, Alfie, Alfie? after scoring goals in the NHL all-star game in what can only be described as an emotional afternoon.
Team Alfredsson fell 12-9 to Team Chara, but the final score didn?t matter. The fans got what they wanted to see, the Senators captain score twice and the chance to give him a proper salute.
?From a selfish point of view, it?s going to rank really high. It?s just a whole ego weekend, pretty much,?? said a laughing Alfredsson. ?But it?s been great to share this with Jason (Spezza), (Milan Michalek) and Erik (Karlsson), too.
?The way this year has developed for us has been really good ? there?s been a lot of positives. Personally, I feel healthy, I?m having fun on the ice again. And then to have a weekend like this is surreal. You can never dream of anything like this.
?You don?t really know how to embrace it, really. I don?t think until (Sunday) when the kids go to bed, you can kind of sit and relax, I?m sure I?ll be dead tired, but take it all in and realize this is something that not everybody gets to experience.
?I don?t know if I deserve it or not, but it?s definitely humbling.?
Alfredsson had his chances to complete the hat trick. He had two good shots at Boston goalie Tim Thomas in the third and hit a post.
He joked: ?I wasn?t trying to score in the third,? but everybody knew Alfredsson wanted that third goal.
Even referee Tim Peel, who has taken his knocks for a bad call against Ottawa last week in Anaheim, realized the value of the moment and delayed dropping the puck so Alfredsson could hear the cheers of the fans and acknowledge them.
The rest of the all-stars wanted to salute him as well.
?Hockey is a very respectful game and guys really respect what he has done in his career,? said Spezza. ?This was an amazing weekend to be a part of and amazing to see the accolades for what he?s done in the past.
?As a teammate, we appreciate him and we understand what he has done in our locker room, but for him to be on the national stage and for people to give him the recognition he deserves is something we really enjoyed seeing.?
Alfredsson scored twice in a span of 1:30 and even gave his team a brief 6-5 lead over Team Chara. He has scored 400 goals, played more than 1,100 games with the same team and had the goal that sent Ottawa to the Stanley Cup final in 2007.
But Alfredsson isn?t sure where this will stand in the highlights of his career. Not yet.
?I?m still living it. It?s kind of hard to place it,? he said. ?It?s almost like I?m walking on Cloud 9. I don?t know, to be honest. I don?t know if this is an accomplishment as much as it?s been a celebration of what I?ve done before.
?I?m really thankful for that. Scoring the 400th goal a month ago at home is more of a special feeling, it decided the game and we won the game at home. I had a lot of family and friends here. That rush that happens that second is unbelievable. This has been more: Everybody thinks I?m great (smiling). It?s been almost overwhelming, to be honest.?
It was overwhelming for those who witnessed it as well.

I hate Dan O'Rourke. Even the Boston announcers are questioning the officiating.
EDIT: And one last penalty against for good measure. Thanks for ruining the end of a good game, refs. 5 games in a row now we've gotten the short end of the stick.
EDIT2: MacLean flipping his crap at O'Rourke at the end of the game. Assistant Coach Mark Reeds had to calm him down.

What's with these officials? Several questionable calls that clubs notice (& fans fume about)! (Yes. It's happened to our Leafs, too).

Can't wait... Sat, Mar 3. Entering Senators holy ground (Bert's Bar - Barbados.) No Sens game scheduled that night but the Leafs play the Habs. I'll be there, proudly sporting the maple leaf.
