NHL All-Star Balloting

[Guest RyechnaiaSobaka]

If you haven't voted yet for the NHL All-Star Game, the ballot is available here: http://fanballoting.nhl.com/

 

Personally, I'm disappointed with the selection of players available outside of the write-in lists, but whatever.

 

So, who'd you vote for?

 

I voted for:

 

Eastern Conference:

 

Forward #1: Vincent Lecavalier - TB

Forward #2: Ilya Kovalchuk - ATL

Forward #3: Daniel Alfredsson - OTT

Defense #1: Joseph Corvo - OTT *

Defense #2: Chris Phillips - OTT

Goaltender: Cristobal Huet - MTL

 

Western Conference:

 

Forward #1: Jarome Iginla - CGY

Forward #2: Henrik Zetterberg - DET

Forward #3: Paul Stastny - COL

Defense #1: Nicklas Lidstrom - DET

Defense #2: Doug Murray - SJ *

Goaltender: Pascal Leclaire - CBJ

 

* - Write-in.

 

I wanted to vote for Tim Thomas as the goalie for the East and Chris Osgood as the goalie for the West, but they were not available.

 

I think this balloting system sucks, not just because it's slow as balls because for whatever reason they can't just use a regular web form and everything has to be Flash with fades and whatever, but that has a lot to do with it. Fuck it.

I can't remember everyone I voted for but I voted for: Chara, Gerber, Crosby, Malkin, Getzlaf, Lidstrom, Giguere, Joe Thorton. That's pretty much it.

[Red Baron]

Koviu, Ovechkin, Heatley, Markov, *Komisarek, Huet

 

Cammellari, Kopitar, Datsyuk, Phaneuf, Beauchiman, LeClaire

Anyone wanna know who his favourite Simpsons character is? HOMER! I have underrated Markov and Huet, but come on, Koivu? Hadn't had a goal in 12 games until Saturday. I like Komisarek a lot, think he does a lot of the intangibles that don't make Sportscentre, but I don't see him as an all-star....this year.

 

Anyway,

 

East: Lecavalier, Kovalchuk, Crosby, Markov, Phillips, Huet

 

West: Iginla, Zetterberg, Kopitar, Lidstrom, Ohlund, Luongo.

 

I feel really badly about not putting Heatley on there. And to further the bitching about the voting system, why are Corey Perry and Christian Huselius write-ins?

 

 

[Annabelle]

Koviu, Ovechkin, Heatley, Markov, *Komisarek, Huet

 

Cammellari, Kopitar, Datsyuk, Phaneuf, Beauchiman, LeClaire

 

your west choices are nucking futs, dude. kopitar is great and all. camellari hasn't played very well lately at all. datsyuk is great, but above zetterberg? cmon homey.

[Guest Skye Sweetnam]

Are we supposed to vote for Rory again.

 

Eh, whatever, I'm voting for him anyway. And a bunch of former Sabres.

[CanadianChris]

East: Alfredsson, Heatley, Crosby, Phillips, Corvo, Lundqvist

West: Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Iginla, Phaneuf, Lidstrom, Osgood

[RepoMan]

I'm only interested if there's a campaign for an obscure player.

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski]

Let's start the Craig Anderson All Star push. He's Vokoun's backup in Florida.

[Guest RyechnaiaSobaka]

Um, how about we start a push for obscure players who are not on the regular lists despite being freakin' awesome this year, such as Tim Thomas or Chris Osgood?

[Red Baron]

Koviu, Ovechkin, Heatley, Markov, *Komisarek, Huet

 

Cammellari, Kopitar, Datsyuk, Phaneuf, Beauchiman, LeClaire

 

your west choices are nucking futs, dude. kopitar is great and all. camellari hasn't played very well lately at all. datsyuk is great, but above zetterberg? cmon homey.

 

 

C'mon this thing is a farce anyways. It's not supposed to be taken seriously.

 

 

CG: Komi is awesome.

[Annabelle]

might as well just have detroits top powerplay unit as the starting five. seriously.

[Red Baron]

You should.

[treble]

Let's start the Craig Anderson All Star push. He's Vokoun's backup in Florida.

Oh no, can't do that. We'll ruin the sanctity of the NHL All-Star game. Don't you know how much prestige there is it in right now!

[RepoMan]

Let's start the Craig Anderson All Star push. He's Vokoun's backup in Florida.

 

I'm actually a big fan of his from his time with Rochester in recent years.

For your consideration, Patrick Sharp leads the league with seven short-handed goals. If the refs call penalties in the ASG, Sharpie's your guy!
