Usually we have at least 1 player on the All-Star team but this year makes me nervous.

That's something I was talking about in another thread a while back. When I think of the Panthers, I don't think of any star player names, yet it is so easy to do so for other teams around the league.

[J17 Vs Proclamation]

Jokinen is pretty recognised around the league. He has a shot at the All-star game, although he may not make it.

Bouwmeester isn't a top 6 Dman in the East quite yet. Although he is better than Souray, McCabe etc IMO.

Isnt there still a rule that each team will have atleast one player in the all-star game

[J17 Vs Proclamation]

Haha voting on the internet is a dangerous thing.

I still remember when ESPN ran a poll of the NHL's MVP. It had Marek Svatos on it. The whole of HF voted for Svatos and he got like 70% of the votes.

Yes voting is web only and you can vote an unlimited number of times so vote early and often. I do think that the coches do try to get at least one player from every team onto the squads but I dont think it is a rule anymore.

I have to admit, I didn't vote for Olli (I thought Hossa, Ovechkin and Afinogenov were more entertaining choices), though I did vote for Bouw.

At least I didn't pick up an additional 22 (like some other Panthers would have done). Plus, it seemed a good penalty to take at the time.
