If Klingberg didn't get the nod I don't see how Barrie would.
Then again, I don't see how Byfuglien got the nod to go, either.

Making the all stars is hardly an accomplishment anymore, isn't the new rule to have at least one player from all 30 teams unlike before where you really had to have an all star season to make it over others.

He's having the best year of any Avs player, especially considering the way he started.
The last players to score 30 goals were both Sakic and Hejduk in '06-'07 (36 and 35, respectively).
Duchene is on pace for 37 goals (which he won't hit), but I hope he ends the 30 goal scorer drought.

Yeah exactly, so are we gonna say it's quite an accomplishment for John Scott?
All stars has become really stupid, I don't really follow it anymore

In mine, too. Still, this year he doesn't deserve to be in the All-Star Game over some other players.
But if he played the Avs a bunch of times....
Looks like Dutchy gets to play with Tarasmokeshow

A team can have full of players who are having a bad season and someone from that team would still be selected to an all star team, such a idiotic format. Go back to the old rules where you actually had to earn a spot.
Not saying Duchene shouldn't be selected, but we don't really know if he's actually a all star selection worthy that's why the old rules were much better, you actually knew that the player was an all star.

Not Great, Bob!
I tend to agree, even though selecting a player from each team is really better for the league.

Duchene is probably the best selection for our team, and he deserves it. But with that being said, he's really not good at 3-on-3.
I'm surprised there's no Jake Allen. And the hosting team getting three representatives is completely fine by me.

I doubt that was the case this year. I'm a huge fan of him and have been one since the day the Avs drafted him but in this season I'm a bit disappointed. He's still racking up points (still isn't as creative as he was at times last year) but he hasn't been as good defensively as he can be. I consider him one of the best offensive dmen in the league but he's having a down year in his development imo.
He's been better of late and EJ's injury might actually help him because now he's forced to do more but he shouldn't have been in the AS game discussion this year.
Edit: And - like I said - I don't think he was.
