VOTE FOR KOVALEV!!
Wow, Kovalev is 12th and he’s not even on the official ballot. Hopefully he has a couple of solid more weeks and makes it as I’m sure it’ll be a nice motivational booster for his consistency this season.
are they taking 12 forwards?
Shhhhh guys. Maybe these votes are going to get to Markov’s head!
i voted for Carbonneau…… anything do get him out of town….. maybe if we send him to the all star game he can screw with the lines and then publicly berate the players after the game to destroy their confidence. It could work..
This proves, as of right now, we have the seventh best centreman in the east, the best goalie, and the best defenseman. This proves we will win the cup this year.
Huet better than Brodeur? What a joke.
“No, it proves we stuff the ballots the best, and we should be proud, as at least that shows WE care.”
Voting blindly just for the sake of having your home guy there is pathetic. It turns what should be a weekend of the best players of the season into a popularity contest. Then again, it is the all-star game we’re talking about.
Vote for Rory anyone?
