Jaymister 71 Report post Posted January 2, 2012 I like most hockey fans think the allstar game is a joke but it would still be nice if Jimmy got to play. In all honesty in regards to play and stats Elliot and Howard are the most deserving in the West. There's no way they both get in though, so who's getting screwed? Howard is more deserving i think because he's played more but who knows. The system of getting into the allstar game is very flawed in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted January 2, 2012 Yeah everyone knows all-star voting is a joke. Reimer is the #1 goalie in voting isn't he? That's all you need to know. While a part of me would have thought it'd be nice if Howie got some recognition for the year he's having, it's better if he gets every little bit of rest he can get.

Howard is probably going to be going to the All Star game. Edited January 3, 2012 by Hockeymom1960 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,793 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) He won't start because of the fan vote, but he will be picked (forgot if the GM's or coaches pick the other players). Oh, and I'm guessing they scrapped last year's system, where Staal and Lidstrom picked teams.

Guest irishock Report post Posted January 3, 2012 He should mock the NHL by doing absolutely nothing at the ASG, but then of course douchebag Bettman would suspend him a game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They'll do captains again: http://senators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=605615 I'd guess Alfie and Chara, assuming they get in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 Howard will get the nod from the NHL's picker people. He'll play, let in some goals like all those poor bastards do and Detroit will dance. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaymister 71 Report post Posted February 24, 2012 I was surprised Howard and Elliot both got to play, but I'm very happy that two guys that deserved to be there got to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
