2011 NHL All-star Picks

[papillion]

Lets say you're named one of the captains for this years game, who would you select as your starting six?

I say: Carey Price in goal; Lidstrom and Byfuglien on D, Henrik Sedin, Stamkos, and Sharp up front

 

[bcneil]

If I was a team captain, I would just keep picking dmen, see how it works out in the end

All of you should vote for Luongo just to piss off self-loathing Canucks "fans" like BJhunter.

 

[badbadboy]

What's the format this year?

East VS West?

North America VS R O W or?

I am too lazy to look it up

Patrick Kane 4th in voting with a lousy 33 points...the little fruit is Ssssssssssoooooooooooooo overrated!

Team Quenneville vs. Team Vigneault\Laviolette
Captains are named; each captain selects a team

Nice try but you just opened a Pandora's box even which the BW CH can't retort back; KH lack any intelligence.

For starters, why is it the Luongo just barely made the top ten in ballots---despite his impressive stats? That I can admit. One thing that doesn't help is he isn't media friendly, what a joke to make him captain---one of the worst attitudes ever postgame. Name anyone else even remotely like Lui's "throw that dman under the bus" attitude.....

pffft! what Pandora's box?
It's fan balloting peabrain! and who takes All Star games seriously?
besides, the Eastern demographics have nothing better to do than vote
1,000 times over for OV and Sid. here on the West, the Canucks are doing well,
we don't have below freezing weather to contend with, and on a good sunny, winter day,
people on the streets are relaxed.

btw, those dmen and forwards are laffable at best (with exception to Hank Dan and Ryan).
don't even get me started in the goalie category. u know my answer…
Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!! : )

about Lui…he's just a super competitive guy. wants to win badly and wears his heart on the sleeve.
Marc Andre Fleury? give me a break. come play in the East and he's just a number two at best.

I'll leave it at that and good luck to your Maple Laffs in the post season.
next time, you really have to do more research to make compelling arguments.
don't just cut and paste news that someone has written. that's lazy BJH, pure lazy!

GO CANUCKS!

If we had a thread 12 months ago, asking who is the best goalie out there.
Most people would say Ryan Miller.
How is his year going.

Goalie stats are dependant on the team.
The Canucks are top 3 scoring wise. Their dmen pinch more than anyone in the league.

Nicklas Lidstrom vs Eric Staal. Will Staal pick his brother early? Will lidstrom pick Jordan Staal just to mess with Eric? Will they each pick a sedin twin or see them as only valuable as a pair? How long will it take ovechkin to get drafted, keep in mind crosby may not play due to his concussion. I think stamkos will get picked before ovechkin, maybe even kesler before ovechkin. Which goalie will go first? Eric Staal will prob choose cam ward because they are in carolina and thats what the fans want to see.

 

[papillion]

I'm thinking Lidstrom will pick Henrik and staal will automatically pick Daniel; it'll be funny to see them play against eacj other

 

[papillion]

The sedins will play on opposing teams for the 1st time ever, daniel is on keslers team with staal; henrik on team lidstrom
Anyone want to bet they'll swap hockey sweaters before the game is over?

That would be great, swap sweaters. Let's face it, the game is just for fun, that would add to the entertainment. First period split up, second period together on team Staal, third period onteam Lidstrom! Now that would change the look of all-star stats.

G.A.
