Final four all star vote results announced

[Semantics]

Just call it something else and nobody would care.

The Teen Choice Game or the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Game.

 

[FerklundCGY]

Who cares? Go play your playoffs and be kicked out in the 1st round. We will enjoy our ASG. All is good.

You really shouldn't make fun of teams who are locks for the Playoffs.

Kind of a weird shot

 

[Rubi]

huh?


yup...[mod] lol

As I said... Gio will likely win the Norris... so again that is more important than an ASG nomination to a NHL marketing gimmick game.
[mod] I'm glad that Gio isn't wasting 4 days going to the ASG when he could be on a warm beach somewhere getting lots of rest and a tan. The guy is 35 years old. A 9 day mid season vacation will do him a world of good.
I'm also happy that Drai got the nomination. I doubt he'll ever win any awards during his career. He's good but not elite... which is what you usually have to be to win an award. You guys done good. Glad to see that he'll finally get a chance to be in the spotlight.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Hilarious Draisaitl made it over Giordano but I guess Oilers fans don't have much to look forward to so at least they got that. Must've taken the full effort of every fan and Edmonton citizen to slide Draisaitl in instead of Gio but its good Edmonton is making at least something out of their otherwise embarrassing season

On the bright side, just means more rest for our top guys

Oilers fans > Flames fans I guess?

 

[Tkachuky]

Thanks! Oiler fans have always stood by their team. Flames fans couldn’t even be arsed to take ten seconds out of their day to vote for their player. Your team might be better but your fan base sucks.

Another congratulations for winning a voting contest for the NHL all star game. Really depicts how great your fan base is!

 

[Tkachuky]

Nope, he’s a quivering coward.

He’s toying with the cOilers.

 

[Territory]

Complete farce. Will not be watching.

City of champs mentality. At least maybe you guys win another lottery pick?

 

[Rubi]

Oilers fans > Flames fans I guess?

Or Flames fans are just looking at the big picture which Oiler fans really don't have to be concerned about since most of their players will be golfing on April 7.

Congrats on voting Draisaitl in as the last man. Its a nice win for Oiler fans. Its been a tough season so far.

 

[Bank Shot]

Keith Yandle / Jimmy Howard are going to the all star game, but players like Giordano / Marner / Point / Riellly are not going. The all star game should have the best players there, not having one representative from each team going.

The game should definitely have a representative from each team.

It's an event aimed at kids. You gotta give those kids who have a favorite team someone to cheer for, even if their team isn't that good.

End of year all star team is where you make the actual choices.

Not salty at all. What is there to be salty about? I'm glad that Gio isn't wasting 4 days going to the ASG when he could be on a warm beach somewhere getting lots of rest and a tan. The guy is 35 years old. A 9 day mid season vacation will do him a world of good.

that's quite the prediction
maybe he'll win an award at 35 like Gio "likely" will

and who cares who makes the All-star game...as I said, both are worthy

some Flames fans are bitter the Oilers fans voted Drai in before Gio is all

 

[GOilers88]

So if the Oilers squeak in, which they very well could, does that put to rest all of the "our team is in the playoffs and yours isn't" coming from the Flames faithful here?

Or does it just turn into "yeah but our team is better cause it wasn't a wildcard"?

Honest question.

 

[Taluss]

No Reilly or Gio, That’s ridiculous

Absolutely. When i was a kid it was a big deal to see one of my teams players in the allstar game

 

[MayDay]

LOL at all the whining over Skinner getting in instead of yet more Leafs.

You guys really think the 2nd leading goal scorer in the league (and #1 in even-strength goals) doesn’t deserve to be in?

I don't really see any leaf fans whining... I don't think most care. Good for buffalo to have something to look forward to but all star stuff is garbage. Have never watched and never will.

Funniest part of all this is the bickering between oil and flames fans. Lmao they both need help.

I suspect some are. I'm not. It was a voting contest which had nothing to do with the value of the player. Oiler fans won a meaningless contest for a meaningless accolade that's further devalued by the fact that each of the 31 teams has to have a representative in the ASG. This is a nothing award.

A much more prestigious award or accolade is being named, at the end of the season by PHWA reps, to the NHL 1st or 2nd All Star Teams. I guarantee you that Draisaitl will not make either of those teams. Gio very well could.

[HugginThePost]

Nope, he’s a quivering coward.

Not sure you have the high ground here, considering Drai wouldn’t step up to that “quivering coward” for slew footing him.

I’ll save you typing out your rebuttal.....

“That slew footing f*** deserved it. Drai doesn’t need to fight pieces of shit like that. He’s to valuable to the Oilers. Fighting a plug is beneath him”!

Or something to that effect, right?

 

[Avelanche]

I’m pretty sure it’s been proven over and over that McDavids points stay relatively the same away from Drai. The same can’t be said about Drai. Not even close actually.

that's because mcdavid get's the only thing resembling "good" wingers. Drai get's a guy who literally hasn't a scored a goal yet this season.

 

[J T Money]

My gripe with the all star game has less to do with the players and more so the skills competition.

If there are other players (not originally selected) they should do their skill or whatever it is - similar to how the Olympic track/swimming events are.

Wish I could see a rematch of the fastest skater between McDavid and Point

Tkachuk never stepped up when Davidson asked after slew footing him, why should draisaitl?

 

[vanarchy]

I would have thought all of Toronto would have showed up to voting so I am surprised. Huh.

 

[Dan403]

I'm glad Gio isn't going. Let him rest up for the playoffs.

I didn't see any flames on there, can you point em out. Saw a couple oilers though.

 

[Rubi]

You are correct. No Flames. As to the Oilers I only see one. Connor McDavid who was named to the All Star Team in 2017 and 2018, and rightly so. Did I miss someone else?
