Zemgus: All Star Votes Warranted?

[seancolorado]

I hope you're a troll.

7-time NHL All-Star, Norris candidate Ozolinsh
2-time NHL All-Star Irbe
495 consecutive NHL games for Iron Man Skrastins
Soviet league MVP Balderis (made NHL debut at 37, after being retired for 4(!) years)

Altogether, there have been 20 Latvians in the NHL, 32 Latvians drafted. And that's only ice hockey.

Sandis, I miss that kid. Only with the Avs for 5 years but maybe my favorite player outside of Sakic & Foppa during his tenure

And RIP Karlis. Truly a living and breathing Ironman

The All Star game is going to be a joke.

The fact that Crawford got in is even worse than Zemgus getting in.

Is this guy the greatest athlete to ever come out of Latvia? Pretty sad.

He's not even our best current hockey player.

You know the nhl is unpopular when a country with 2 million people single handedly can decide the all star balloting.

Voter fatigue in the states.

Don't ask us to do ****.

Especially if it takes more than 30 seconds if i want to vote more than once

Aint nobody got time for that.....besides all of Latvia and my home state of course

 

[WarriorofTime]

I forgot all about Ozolinsh.

Warranted if you think every team should be represented and it was either him or Enroth for the Sabres....then you see that the other 5 are blackhawks
