DENVER (AP) - With the warmup act completed, it was time for The Main Event. In a highly-anticipated goaltending duel between Lyndonville's Robert Esche and Fort Garry's Roberto Luongo, it was the Western Conference who got on the board first. Pittsburgh's Scott Niedermayer opened the scoring just 3:11 into the opening period when he picked a rebound up in the slot and snapped the puck past Esche. Surprisingly, the first penalty of game was picked up by - Joe Sakic? Sakic accidentally clipped the East's Mark Messier with a stick, and the crafty veteran's nose erupted like Vesuvius to draw a double-minor. Somehow, though, Messier ended up in the box as well, with a two-minute penalty for (as listed in the official summary) "rest". Someone apparently forgot to tell the officials that this was an All-Star Game, as Mats Sundin was called for tripping just seconds after Sakic was released from the bin. Tyler Arnason would make Sundin pay, evening the game after snatching up a rebound of Corner Creek teammate Bryan Berard's point shot. Continuing the "Pittsburgh Against the World" theme of the first period, the Sound Chasers' Keith Tkachuk again put the West ahead with a backhander past Esche. Ten minutes into the game, there had been already been three scores - all on split rolls. Did someone say split rolls? Brent Sopel put the West up by two with 8:02 left in the frame, rolling a "1" on a 1-14 split for the West's third goal, and Esche was reeling. Finally a split roll was saved, late in the period by Esche, who denied Niedermayer his second goal of the period with a "17" roll on a 1-6 split. Unfortunately, he could not hold back Houston's Patrik Elias, who made his coach very happy with a goalie rating marker that snuck just under the blocker of the beleaguered backstop. The first period ended with defensemen Chris Pronger and Sean Hill drawing coincidental minors for slashing. "All-Star Game or not, we want to win this game," said Hill. Goaltenders changed to mark the start of the middle period, with Brooklyn's Olaf Kolzig entering to face Minneapolis' Tomas Vokoun. Vokoun would be tested first, after Sergei Gonchar was whistled for interference. "Interference! In an All-Star Game!," remarked Gonchar. The West would hold, however, maintaining their three-goal advantage. A mostly uneventful second period which saw the East get no closer finally caused the East's Markus Naslund to snap, drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty with 3:40 left. "I was joking with the refs, except they didn't know that we were joking." The East actually got the best chance on the man advantage, as Scott Walker forced Vokoun to make a difficult Goalie Rating save. Miikka Kiprusoff and Jose Theodore entered the game for the third period, and Kiprusoff was the first to come up big, stopping Naslund on a 1-16 split 1:33 into the period. In fact, the East picked up seven shots on goal in the first 2:15 of the third, yet Kiprusoff held strong in preserving the lead. Kiprusoff couldn't stop Long Island's Vincent Lecavalier, however, as the lanky pivot fired a rebound past the Finn goaltender to get the East within two. Keith Tkachuk would have none of it, however, getting his second of the night by burying a 1-19 split past Theodore with 14:19 left in regulation. Mats Sundin then put another split roll (1-13) past Theodore, and the West lead was 6-2. The horn sounded to end the game, and it was all West despite the combined performance of the East goaltenders. Actually, considering that the six netminders stopped fifteen of eighteen Goalie Ratings, it's surprising that eight goals were scored, although with these snipers anything can happen. Pittsburgh's Keith Tkachuk was voted the game's Most Valuable Player with his two-goal performance. THREE STARS OF THE GAME: 1. Keith Tkachuk, West - two goals 2.
