Well that's our lone representative. Fan voting has to go. I don't usually watch the game, but this year seems like it would've been interesting. I usually like watching a coyote in the skills competition, but I guess we'll be seeing Scott embarrass the coyotes.

Wonder if he has an incentive clause in his contract for making the All Star game. Extra half million or so.

I would have gotten rid of fan voting in the past considering the vast majority would only vote for Crosby. I'm glad now those same voters are more open-minded to voting someone else.

I wouldn't call it open minded. I'd call it making a mockery of fan voting. Oh well, as annoying as it is that Scott is most likely taking the coyotes "mandatory 1 per team spot", its still funny as hell.

 

[Ebb]

I can't wait to see him light it up in the 3-on-3 format

 

[Mosby]

Does he participate in the hardest shot at the skills comp?

He'd have to hit the net for it to count.

 

[Jagged Ice]

Didn't he clearly waivers three times? Can't we send him to Springfield so he isn't eligible? This is embarrassing!

 

[Munchkin10]

Well deserved. IMO

 

[Sinurgy]

Remember when Rory Fitzpatrick made it. So funny!

 

[Muppet]

**** yeah John Scott, I'm happy for him.

This would be funny if it didn't cost Domi a spot.

This.

But I see Domi making it because: a top rookie, pretty popular, famous dad, great player, and lots of votes (I think second in the Pacific after Scott.)

40 more players are going. I can see Domi and OEL getting picked.

 

[CC96]

#1 in the Pacific, and #1 in my heart. What a time to be alive.

Maybe Scott will provide some actual entertainment instead of treating it like most every other player does, with barely-disguised contempt.

This. I can't wait for him to fight Chara or something.

Haha love Jagr's tweet.

 

[RemoAZ]

I doubt there is anything interesting enough about the All-Star game that would make me want to watch. Maybe if it was here and I had free tickets. That's about it.

 

[NylanderBros]

The man, the legend, the goal scorer, the all star.

 

[Dirty Old Man]

So it's a 20 minutes game vs. another division (and a second one if they win)... try and guess Scott's TOI

20, he's the captain so he should never leave the ice.

He'd look like me after one of the 2 times in 15 years I've had to do that in beer league (i.e exactly 5 skaters). Maybe worse.
