Confirmed with Link: Matthews (C), Tavares named to Atlantic All-Star roster; Marner, Rielly, Andersen notable omissions

[Notsince67]

Marner often gets shafted for star of the game. No surprise he is not on

 

[Mr Hockey]

And Reilly is a travesty!!

10 spots and 8 teams

 

[daner]

If I’m Matthews and Tavares I sit out for the slap in the face Marner, Andersen and rielly just received.

 

[ToneDog]

Dumb format. Couldn't care less. Actually would have preferred that JT did not make it.

 

[FlareKnight]

10 spots and 8 teams

He’s leading the entire NHL in points from the Defense. It’s a total joke. You add Rielly, cut Yandle and Tavares, add Barkov. Problem solved and your selections look less stupid.

Not a bad idea, theyre not needed on the Friday after the break anyway.

 

[Morbo]

Don't think Tavares deserved to go over Marner, who has been the better player. I can see having Chabot there, but Yandle over Rielly? ehhh

Yandle over Rielly... that's not how the selection process works

 

[BallardEra]

I'm guessing Ovie saw the list before it was released and figured he'd pass.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

I think if theres a fan vote we should do everything we can to get kap there. just so he can do the fastest skater

I would prefer if none of them went.

 

[hotpaws]

no idea how JT got in over Marner/Rielly/Andy

 

[Mr Hockey]

no idea how JT got in over Marner/Rielly/Andy

They could have asked Dubas/Babcock to pick a "forward"

 

[Deebo]

Rielly is the Leaf on the fan vote for the last player.

 

[hotpaws]

They could have asked Dubas/Babcock to pick a "forward"

i'm sure Dubas wanted his 11m dollar man there but hopefully him and Babs had nothing to do with him being named and if they did it doesn't get out since i doubt that would go over well with the players that were snubbed

 

[Nineteen67]

Marner not on the list to vote in....

 

[Trapper]

Yandle over Rielly... that's not how the selection process works

The All-Star game is a joke.
Should be abolished during the season.

Half year all star, sure. Have it in September instead of the 8 preseason games we have to play.

 

[Jozay]

Marner should be there over jt

 

[gamer1035]

wtf, Rielly is a norris favorite and Andersen is a vezina favorite.

 

[Nineteen67]

Marchand not on the fan vote list either. Although Bergeron is

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

Stambum over Marner? Just pathetic.

 

[Dragao6]

Jt is tied for 2nd in goals but should be there ahead of Stamkos...then again brayden point should also be there

 

[Stand Witness]

Thats fine.

Both Marner and Rielly will be voted into the 1st or 2nd all star team come the end of the year anyways.

Will look kind of silly at the end of the day, but thats the one that really matters.

The NHL and powers that be decided Matthews would be the poster boy.

 

[Leafidelity]

I would have picked Marner and Rielly over Matty and JT for this year
