In a stunning development, center Claude Giroux was the only Flyer selected to the NHL all-star team.

Giroux has 16 goals for the Eastern Conference-leading Flyers.

Danny Briere, who is among the NHL leaders with 21 goals, was somehow bypassed by the league's operations committee.

Briere sharply criticized the NHL for selecting only one Flyer. He said his early-season suspension may have played a role in the NHL bypassing him.

The All-Star Game is Jan. 30 in Raleigh, N.C.
