TedZep Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Sidney Crosby hasn't played a minute and he's on the ballot?I know it is like this every year, with undeserving players on it and deserving players left off it, but at least they are actually playing!(Bryzgalov is on the ballot? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aziz Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 the ballots tend to be based on last year, really. thus, bryzgalov. and crosby....crosby is going to be on there until 3 years after he retires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idahophilly Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Guess the fans can reject him by not voting for him. hahahaha. I made myself laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinorama Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I wonder what the actual effect the fan vote has. Do people who don't follow hockey actually care to vote and then watch the all star game of a sport they don't follow. Then are so enamored with the product that they then decide to pick a team and start following the sport? I can't stand the fan vote and the All Star game should be more of a show case of current talent. Have statistical criteria that is based off the current season with a specific cut off and if you are having an all star season up until that point, then you play in the all star game.I know you could have plenty of players in there that are there as a fluke. Those guys could start off strong, make it to the all star game and then cool off, never to get hot again. But I like that much more than having players who aren't performing at an all star level in a given year yet are on the all star team the season they are playing poorly. At least for the guys that may or may not have it for the long haul, they put up the numbers. You get there on current production, not past merit.

Digityman Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 @Spinorama I was wondering the same thing.Cindy is on the ballot but what if the fans actually thought about it before voting and decided that he shouldn't be there.Would Gary step in ? Probably. LIttle Napoleon he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
