Vote Early and Vote Often

Posted by Rawbeezeitz

It's time to act like Chicagoans, folks (or Philadelphians these days).


The NHL All-Star Game is in Montreal this season. Not surprisingly, the Canadiens are dominated All-Star voting. In fact, all six starting positions are currently held by Canadiens. As a Bruins fan, and a hockey fan, this pisses me off.


So I'm stuffing the ballot box, and I urge you to do the same. I ask you to put aside team loyalties and vote for guys like Crosby and Ovechkin, even if you don't think they deserve to be there. Because they're better than Saku Koivu and Alex Tanguay. And they have the best shots at passing the 3 Canadiens at the top.


And vote for Zdeno Chara. To show I'm not playing favorites, I voted for Kimmo Timonen, who plays for my 2nd most hated hockey team: the Flyers.


For goalie, vote for Henrik Lundqvist or write-in Tim Thomas. Thomas leads the NHL in GAA and save percentage, people. It's not his fault the NHL is lame and only has 10 goalies on its ballot.


You don't want 6 Canadiens on the ice at the All-Star Game. Even if we get just one Flyer or Ranger or Cap or Bruin or Senator or Sabre in there, it ruins the story.

THERE IS NO LIMIT ON VOTING! YOU CAN VOTE AS MANY TIMES AS YOU'D LIKE!

As a devoted fan of the Flightless Birdies I must say that I am going to vote for all Canadiens. Here's my logic. The NHL All-Star Game is a joke (as are most All-Star Games). So, I would much prefer to see Bing, Geno and all the other Pens get the time off and not have to risk injury. So for the All-Star Game, I say, Let's Go Habs!

"It's time to act like Chicagoans, folks (or Philadelphians these days). " -Do you mean dispense members of the Black Panthers to voting precincts?

The Black Panthers were doing exactly what they were meant to do, policing the community and assuring that everything runs as expected. Don't go throwing rocks at an organization that you know nothing about JT. Seriously not a good idea.

I'm not jumping into a racially charged argument with you on this website or at any other time because we are obviously from very different places and backgrounds that have given us different experiences. And because of that, we will never see eye to eye and arguing in in short burst here will not solve that. Nonetheless, you stand up for what you believe in, and I will continue to do the same on my end.

Nah, you're right, I was baiting a little... Still, doesn't make their or any other group's presence any less concerning...

Actually the Black Panthers didn't officially take responsibility for the two men outside the polling station. Moreover, one of them had a night stick and was asked to leave by police.


I was actually referring to the oddly large number of registered voters in Philadelphia compared to adults. More voters than adults in Philly.

As a DC guy I love Alex Ovie, but the guy you have to vote in this season from the Caps is Alexander Semin, he is torching the league right now, 5 goals last night put him on top of the league in scoring.

Actually Semin had 2 goals and 3 assists last evening there BigP, but a minor point, he has been tremendous for the Caps this season.

Yeah, soon as I hit enter, I meant points not goals, but yeah. You get the point. Not to mention I love the fact that he is talking trash with Crosby and that the Caps/Pens rivalry is going to red hot this season.

I'll be writing in Thomas. Turco is on the list in the West even though he is last in several statistical catagories this year. And, lets not forget that Gonchar, Whitney and the Isles Dipietro are on the ballot with something like 23 total minutes between them this year. The NHL has serious management problems.

hey, a vote in the NHL all-star game is worth like 25 votes in any other all-star game!

Write in your self ten times and - if you have skates - you can get a few minutes of ice time!

Here's a hint thiough - they won't let you fight your goon of choice, though.,.. kind of a bunmer, eh?
