News Article: Couture named to All Star Game (replaced by Hertl)

[Alwalys]

Yes. John Scott was voted onto team (Arizona?), got traded to Montreal. Wore "NHL" logo rather than team logo for his ASG participation.

With Fleury declining participation, and Couture out, that's at least two Pacific Division teams that might be without representative. My guess is the league will do what it can to have both teams represented. (IIRC, it's 11-man division squad. So, that should be 3 "extra" spaces to be filled by "last man in" votes and league selections. Fleury replaced by Vancouver's Markstrom. So, VGK would like to see Pacioretty named to squad via last man in.)

Well. John Scott was kind of a special situation. Injury is a no fault, random circumstance. Has injury ever shut a team out completely?

That said Logan should be replaced by John Scott.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Jones should replace fleury.

Only if a penalty is taken...

Hertl deserved it over Couture in the first place.

Hertl deserved it over Couture in the first place.

Yeah but captain bla bla bla and leading point getter bla bla bla

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Now watch Hertl win the MVP in the ASG.

 

[Used As A Shield]

Just don't get injured Hertl.

 

[Painful Quandary]

I'm glad he is going. Hertl should have been chosen in the first place, he seems like he would have more fun with it than Couture.

 

[Alwalys]

i wonder what skill he will participate in? there should be a possession skill comp lol

competitive interviewing. For sure.

 

[LadyStanley]

I think Hertl will enjoy the weekend. Seems like 75% of Pacific division squad are first timers.

 

[LadyStanley]

Fun must be always!
