So Nick Foligno is one of the team captains??? lol WTF? Only reason I can remotely see that being justified is because the game is Columbus. Is'nt Johansson in there as well? You'd think if it had to be a player from the BJs it would be him as captain.

One side you have Toews, then...Foligno. mannnn.

So apparently we have no one in the ASG :lol:

Oh well, i'd rather the players get the rest instead. Guess there is'nt room for another skater anyways, with some teams having multiple players in the game. They say every team needs a rep, yet Chicago has 5 players, Columbus 3, etc. Jokes.

Chicago's fans came out in huge numbers to vote them in.

Usually we win everything fan voted, so kudos to them.

And Columbus is the host city.

Its understandable.

Yeah I know Chicago's players were voted in, and Columbus is host, but theres only so many spots available. If they want every team to have a rep, that kinda messes things up. Oh well though, like I said, the ASG is a joke anyways.

I would like to see Nyquist or Tatar get the spot (if there is one to get). Datsyuk and Zetterberg need to rest their bodies, plus they simply wouldn't appreciate it as much as the kids.

I also wouldn't mind seeing Kronwall make it. As far as know, the guy has never played in one. Definitely would be deserving.

There's no way Nyquist, Tatar or Kronwall are deserving, not that every player that goes is deserving...like Bobrovsky...no idea how he gets into the game.

I'm sure they'll just go with no Wings. The only way that a Wing goes is if there is a forward injury and then Datsyuk might get the call. I haven't thought much about what other forwards might be deserving, but even if someone deserved it more than Datsyuk, I could see him being an injury replacement just to get a Wing in the game.

Well, when Girgensons is starting, "deserving" goes out the window lol

Justin faulk and Erik Johnson are in no way at all more deserving than kronwall.

For the same reason Foligno was named a captain? When you consider that the host team is usually well represented, six players are voted in and (under normal circumstances) every team is supposed to be represented, it's not really about who deserves to go.

Depends how you see the All Star games. If it is some sort of reward, send the young kids like Tatar or Nyquist.

If it is a pain in the arse for players, then send Weiss or Franzen as punishment.

I know ... teams don't send players, the NHL's office does but if it were up to the team.
