The NHL awarded the 2011 All-Star game to the Hurricanes on Thursday, coming through on a pledge Gary Bettman once made to the franchise, according to an Associated Press report. ?You have all been asking me for years when the All-Star game was coming to Raleigh,? Bettman told a crowd of about 1,000 Hurricanes fans who packed the RBC Center?s lawn. ?I did make a promise a number of years ago. So, today, I will fulfill that promise.?
