Final four all star vote results announced

[kicksavedave]

Nick Backstrom is once again, not an All Star.

 

[HugginThePost]

Draisaitl remains massively underrated. You all act like McDavid banks pucks in off his dick all day long.

He’s an excellent player and deserves to be there. McDavid benefits from playing with him just like he does from playing with McDavid.

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.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

Letang, just take the one game suspension. Playing to good to risk injury on such a pointless event.

 

[Randy Randerson]

Vote was probably split between marner and rielly enough so neither of them got in.

Marner wasn't on the ballot

 

[BatVader]

People still watch this stupid so called all star thing?
Making it 3 on 3 destroyed it.

 

[LeafsNation75]

if a Leaf player gets voted in by the fans, people are still going to say that

the important thing is that we have so many guys that are worth, the results should speak for themselves in a few years. It would to not have to hear about 1967 anymore

Maybe there will still be a chance of other players from the Atlantic who won't be able to play and Rielly or Marner can still be selected.

Last year when Victor Hedman could not play because he was injured he was replaced by Brayden Point. Now I think part of that reason was the game being played in Tampa Bay. However the NHL didn't bother to replace him with another defensemen from a different Atlantic Division team, since as we know Point is a forward and maybe the same thing could happen again.

Why continue to call it the All-Star game if it's going to be a popularity fan voted game where each team must have a representative instead of simply sending all the top players of the year?

Just call it something else and nobody would care.

Great idea. They should call it something like The Game Being Played for Kids 13 and Under to Watch!

It's almost as if McDavid is better than Draisatl. What a revelation.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

How did Toronto fail to vote their boys in?

I made a point not to vote. Take the time off boys.

ya there's probably a 50/50 chance for either guy getting in, I'm happy if they don't though. It's a nice honour and I don't think getting there by default carries the same prestige, so they might as well rest

Cancel it and nobody would care.

 

[La Masse]

Kind of a joke that Rielly and Gio are missing but at the same time pretty funny considering the event itself is a joke

 

[Sabresruletheschool]

Marner wasn't on the ballot

He wasn't? I'm pretty sure his name was there.

 

[Randy Randerson]

He wasn't? I'm pretty sure his name was there.

it wasn't, assuming you're talking about the last man in vote

This was the Atlantic ballot.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

I don’t think Mony should go. I think Gio was deserving of it.

I commented on Drai because it was stated that there was no other options in the Pacific. Which is obviously false.

Fair enough and I agree that gio should be there.

 

[Cor]

Morgan Rielly should have been a lock, somehow left out

Freddy and Vasi top two goalies and only one is going, but only due to an injury.

Marner should be there over Tavares and Rielly there over Matthews.

This isn’t a “we need more Leafs” it’s a “the wrong Leafs are going” post btw

 

[member 298589]

On a personal level it’s a bummer Gio didn’t get the nod, but as a Flames fan, I’m happy he has some time to rest and heal up for the second half.

This. Not sad over Marner and Rielly having a little downtime. And 'grats to Skinner, guy is having a good season.

 

[Future GOAT]

Should be Point. Hes 6th in the league in points.

I'm surprised tbh. I expected Point would be up there.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

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.

And it’s been proven over and over again this is false.

Wow, not enough sleep at night I guess. I thought I saw Marner as one of the choices.

Their GF/60 this season is over 4 with both, 2.3 for with McDavid no Drai, 2.2 with Drai no McDavid, and 1.5 with neither. They’re at their best together.

Do you want to look at Monahan without Gaudreau, or would you rather not?

 

[Future GOAT]

And it’s been proven over and over again this is false.

Not quite, it is somewhat true, McDavid does see a small dip in production away from Drai, but it's pretty negligible. Drai does see a substantial hit without McDavid.

He had some pretty good chemistry with Hall before he was traded away.

If Chiarelli hadn't left us with garbage for wingers we could probably try and test this theory more.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Tampa has enough represented to be honest. 3 Players and a coach.

Id rather none of them go tbh. I just think Point deserves to over the rest of the list.
