Hockey Non Fans - Screw Allstar Voting Up!


Recommended Posts

You have to admit, this is classic. Hockey is a dying screwed up sport anyway, who cares, its not like anyone will watch the AS game. Has hockey even started this year? Oh yeah, and I think they should make the nets bigger, but should also just get rid of the goalies and offsides. Allowing more physical play might bring amore than 20 people to a game too.

i heard of this a while back and thought there was no way in hell this will work...i thought that pronger or lidstrom not starting the ASG was a travestybut i like how its shaping up....Rory is the man, and its a way for the fans to appreciate the blue collar journeyman

First of all I think this is kind of lame. That guy has to be one of the worst D-men in the league. But if he gets voted in (which obviously he will), good for those who organized this. However, he has not even confirmed if he would accept his designation. Not to mention, he'll look like an idiot out there with the real all stars.

i dont see him declining the invitation, if hes picked, it would be an honor, and its not like hes against the whole "vote for Rory" thingalso, its kinda like if mark redman declined to go to the all-star game despite having an ERA of 5.40 and a losing record

you're completely wrong, but thanks for the worthless opinion.this is a stupid idea IMO. the point is supposedly to demonstrate that fan voting is a poor way to do it. while many of us agree with that, the fact that a problem with it is that millions of people could coincidingly manipulate the vote only shows that the problem with voting is that it can be manipulated if millions of people decide to do so.fan voting is not great, but instead of showing that it has its problems, which few would disagree with, maybe people could simply make alternative suggestions. also, it is done in every major sport (except football), and it is probably the smallest problem in the NHL. the best players still make it, and the teams aren't dominated by big market players.this is obviously something some guys did as a joke, and lots of other people have followed, thinking it would be funny. now everyone who watches hockey twice a year can click on the all-star game and go 'hey lol this is so funny, i voted for that guy, even though he sucks. lol!!11!!erskates"if you like hockey, think of some suggestions, and send them in. if you don't really care, go vote for rory./rant
