Adams should be there.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

And the media is pissy about Fleury not being there and Mackey, so far, is vaguely bothered about Letang.

 

[Shrimper]

Well, at least they won't have far to travel I guess.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Where is Letang. Ok **** this event.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

And the media is pissy about Fleury not being there and Mackey, so far, is vaguely bothered about Letang.

Not even PK and Karlsson got enough votes this year.

I'm confused about that as well. Bob and HL, fine, but Howard? Have no idea why he's the wings rep instead of Z. Or, Hell, Kronwall.

What's this, Howard's third appearance? I have no recollection of a goalie as mediocre as he is being in more than one ASG.

Not losing any sleep, but it's just weird.

It's not decided by votes, only the 5 Blackhawks and the Sabre guy were voted in. NHL decided the rest and asked GMs for their opinions. Space is limited, though. Only two teams have more than 2 selected: Columbus (3) and Chicago (5).

Letang and PK should absolutely be there. I don't think it's about getting enough votes, it's about every team needing a representative.

Letang and PK should be there instead of guys like Faulk, Johnson, and Byfuligen but since the Canes, Avs and Jets don't have any other players they were picked.

 

[eXile59]

I don't get why people get worked up about these selections. It's a popularity contest. Who cares?

 

[SarahCrash]

wow. talk about weak on defense! I'm not impressed with the choices at all!

okay, shows how much I care about the ASG.

You learn something new every day.

 

[Son Goku]

Fleury got robbed

 

[Jacob]

Congrats to them but from a team perspective the less players there the better... A few days of rest would be more beneficial.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Fleury definitely deserved a spot

 

[M0NTY26]

The real joke here is Bob getting a free ride there, just because Columbus is hosting the event. Here is his numbers, compared to the rest of the all-stars, plus Flower.

Bob - 15w. 2.80gaa. .915sv%. 1so. - That gaa and sv% is brutal!

Fleury - 20w. 2.20gaa. .925sv%. 6so.

Roberto - 16w. 2.23gaa. .926sv%. 2so.

Pekka - 28w. 1.98gaa. .930sv%. 3so.

Price - 22w. 2.20gaa. .927sv%. 2so.

Howard - 16w. 2.08gaa. .921sv%. 2so.

 

[AR5]

Hey, Howard is injured, boys.

Fleury may yet get his spot.

Next goalie to go is going to be Halak. One Islanders, he's had a solid season… yea.

Considering he's been the 3rd best goalie in the league and 2nd best in the East, they should be.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Fleury definitely deserves to be there. Legit snub.

With the player limitations and other high profile D that didn't make it I understand why Letang isn't there.

It's the ASG, who gives a ****?

Yeah, but not over Jack Johnson is pathetic, I know its in Columbus, but thats rough.

 

[Waffle Fries]

It's Erik Johnson, not Jack. The Avs needed a representative.

 

[ProgOg]

Johnson was awesome so far this season for Colorado. That is deserved, if they need one player from every team.
