The only NHL All-Star Game ever hosted in Georgia, the 2008 installment of hockey’s greatest showcase took place at Phillips Arena in Atlanta and featured the Western Conference again taking on the Eastern, with the latter slipping past the former 8-7. Eric Staal would score a pair of goals for the East and be named MVP for his efforts. This Eastern Conference jersey was worn by superstar Evgeni Malkin in the first period of the contest, and it’s been signed. CCM size tagging with a Reebok name band sit attached to the collar, with NHL and Reebok crests on the front and back necklines respectively. Featuring an “East” team crest in double-twill with dual stars above and below, the solid crimson v-neck has been embellished with double-twill numbers along with two rows of stars placed evenly along both sides between the seams. The important 2008 All-Star patch resides over the left shoulder along with a Penguins crest over the right, while the NHLPA insignia rests on the bottom outside hem. With no discernible wear present, the jersey remains in gorgeous condition. There is a stain on the left side between the seams to note. Malkin has added a thin black marker signature to the middle of the “7” on verso, and it displays well. A MeiGray patch numbered E09916 sits on the inside hem near the handwritten “1” on the fight strap, and according to their population report, the jersey is a "Red - Eastern Conference All-Star 1/27/08 (Period 1) / NHLPA Set" example. An LOA from the NHLPA will accompany.
