Horvat will make Islanders debut at the All Star Game.

[SI90]

Horvat will represent the islanders and wear his islanders uniform for the first time at the All Star game. He will play for the pacific however.

How many guys can say they made their team debut at an All Star game? LoL

This is interesting. As an isles fan it wouldn’t bother me if he represented the Canucks one last time being that he made the all star game entirely as a Canuck.

They're gonna do what now?

Horvat with his Islanders logo on the Pacific team

This is just odd but him wearing a canucks jersey would be too. He isn’t a Canuck anymore. He is also not in the pacific division though.

I don’t know.

Didn't John Scott just have no NHL logos on his gear when he captained the Pacific division while being a part of Montreal's organization?

His helmet/shoulder just said "All-Star" the rest had their team logo.

Almost as good as Western Conference Champions Montreal Canadiens

Vancouver Islanders

VanIslanders? NYNucks?

Horvat representing the Isles in the West just makes zero sense. Just bizarre

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Bettman's NHL - where Seattle has no representative and Vancouver's representative is wearing an Islanders jersey.

 

[Taswell]

As an Isles fan, this is still dumb. He made the Allstar game on the back of his performance for the Canucks. He should be there as a Canuck's rep.

Ironically a huge whale just washed ashore on Lido Beach. Canuck coming to the island. We should have saw the signs


Lou sacrificed a whale to celebrate the trade

The Logo:

The classic Canucks Skate logo with the isles Royal Blue and orange would look sick

What can the NHL do when no star players are willing to cancel their vacation plans at the last minute? The current result is the NHL has to patch last minute holes with host team players (Barkov), guys who know this is likely a one-off (Stephenson), and imperfect compromises (Horvat).

Increase the prize money? Add some sort of competitive advantage for the winning division?

Or just let the player attend and be an all star that he earned and wear his old teams uniform. Or give the player the option.

There’s an All Star Game?

 

[kaiser matias]

Sandis Ozolinsh did the same in 2003: he was traded by Florida to Anaheim days before, right after being named to the All Star Game. It was played in Florida, coincidently enough, and when he came out got a loud cheer from his former home crowd. Played for the East while wearing the Ducks logo on his jersey.

Petey is repping the canucks budzo

Update* He’s going with the fisherman!

When do real hockey games start again?

 

[Mr Positive]

It's still dumb imo. He's not in the Pacific Division.

The saving grace is that the integrity of the all star game doesn't really matter, but it's just odd for the NHL to communicate that

 

[Oddbob]

This isn't an Islanders debut. Also dumb that he will be playing for the Pacific with Isles stuff on his jersey.
