Kanata, ON. -- Just one night after being crowned champion in the Elimination Shootout contest, Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos admitted he was exhausted following Sunday's 2012 NHL All-Star finale at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa.
With good reason too.
The Bolts center had an assist and also recorded three shots in nearly 15 minutes of ice time as he and Team Alfredsson fell 12-9 to Team Chara in what proved to be a back-and-forth scoring duel at the 2012 Tim Hortons NHL All-Star Game.

Here's the final entry in the Steven Stamkos All-Star Blog:
Kanata, ON. -- It’s hard to believe that my time in Ottawa has already come to an end.
I’m all set to leave on Monday, and while I’m looking forward to heading back to Tampa Bay and seeing all my teammates, I certainly am going to miss the experience here.
The day started off with a cool pre-game celebration for fans to get them amped up for the game, which was earlier this afternoon. I headed to the arena at around 1 p.m. to take photos in my All-Star jersey and to get ready for the game.
