i agree Randy..... its not like the starters of the all star game get a million dollars and a trip to the stanley cup lol, its just the all star game.... most people dont even bother watchin it. i dont even think its on a weekend. i just hope the players dont take it as seriously as all the tv folks. i think the whole rory thing is great because it has brought so much extra attention to the all star game that it has lacked in rescent years. i've seen more "vote for rory" commercials than i have for the actual game. poor advertising on the behalf of the NHL.
If he does go (which i personally think Rory will bow out quietly and will not go), its obvious that they will change the format. i think maybe the players should vote... something like the western conference vote for the eastern team, and the eastern conference vote for the western team. OR let the fans vote but take out the elective players... throw all the "superstars" in the voting and thats it.

Yeesh, the thing I don't get are the people who are calling the campaign a joke.
Umm, people, the all-star game has become a joke in the last 10 years or so. It's isn't even a hockey game. It's like a trip to the beer league for a day. Sending Fitzpatrick to the game would likely breathe some life into the game. Fitzpatrick would be one of the few guys on the ice who would be busting his ass out there every shift he got.

On TSN last night, they said that Rory said that he would talk to his teammates and the NHLPA and make a call if he had to. I would love to see him go but agree that he probably won't. Although he did win the Canucks accuracy contest...could be a secret weapon for the West. On the other hand, the coach might just bench him.

I hope he wins a starting spot and goes. Cherry is an asshole and a freak and a complete jerk for saying anything at all, who is he anyway just another fired coach who couldn't get on with another team. Geez this guy has become a national joke. As for Rory, hey buddy laugh with us and enjoy it. GO IF YOU WIN AND ACTUALLY THROW A CHECK!

This picture just puts a smile on my face, lol
Keep voting people, don't let the naysayers spoil this.....Rory's come too far to let it slip away......someone should do a recount, I think the NHL is trying to 'fix' the numbers. They're way too afraid of the "people's choice!"
This guy nailed all four targets in the skills competition...in other words, Crawford would use him in a shootout over Gretzky. That says allstar to Clam!
Rory also got an assist last night, the Sedins aren't the only ones on fire right now!

Clam, that one with Rory/Ovechkin is easily the funniest thing all season so far. I laugh out loud just thinking of it.
Just voted 5 more X. But please everyone, do not vote for Robbie L. Send Kiprusoff & let Luongo have a well deserved break, as well as getting Rory there.

I had a dream...
Even if Luongo doesn't start, odds are he will be our rep there won't he? So its probably either Luongo or Fitzpatrick.....so if anyone wants Roberto to get a rest they better start voting more for Rory.
I agree SR, that clip makes me laugh as well. Hilarious
Happy new years everyone!
