Just cause 1000 people voted 1000 times each doesn't mean he should be an all star over a Scott Neidemier(sp???)He shouldn't haver more then 1000ish votes. They will change it to 1 vote per person next year.

Count me in the group of people who DO NOT want to see Rory Fitzpatrick at the All Star game.
When I go to a fast food restaurant, and my order comes to $6.28, I like to give the cashier $18.71. They look at me and say 'What's this?' and I say 'I'm all in'. They usually fold.

why not? fans voted for him, isnt that the right of the fans if he wins?personally, id love to see him there. i wish fans could vote on the whole team, and i would vote on a whole bunch of players who dont get the spotlight.that, and i generally take the all-star game about as seriously as rodeo clown college.

Why not? I guess because I've always enjoyed watching the all star game ever since I was a kid, and I feel the best players in the league should represent the league.We vote in Rory Fitzpatrick this year, what happens next year? Are there write in votes for every position? Maybe the starting lineup is Shawn Bates, Donald Brashear, J.P. Vigier, Niclas Wallin and Cory Sarich. That'd be a blast to watch. I'd really enjoy it if I ponied up the dough to watch that live. Or even better, what if it's the one year out of 20 that the AS game actually comes to my city, and I pay $1000 for tickets to take my 8 year old son who has been dying to see Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, or guys we never see like Pavel Datsyuk, Rick Nash, Joe Thornton, etc. and we have to watch those bums.If I wanted to see Rory Fitzpatrick calibre players, I'd call my buddies and go have a pickup game at the local arena.

lets go back to the traditional allstars vs stanley cup winner after the season. Oh wait, that only worked because there were only six teams or something.

i kind of agree. i'd like to see Rory in if he gets voted in, but I think the campaign is stupid. It does not do what it purports to do, and is just a bunch of internet nerds and casual fans trying to do something funny.
Long signatures are really annoying.

What I don't like about all this is that this is going to force the NHL to make changes next year in regards to fan ballots. Fan input is going to be severely limited.

This isnt a troll post, or something to upset the masses ...however:

If the Penguins win the Stanley Cup, I will stop watching hockey for a full year.

This is a 100% true story.

Fans are stupid anyways. The only ones voting for the all stars in my opinion should be coaches, players, and sports writers. Fans usually only vote for the most popular players and not always the ones that are doing the best THAT year. Just my two cents though.

agreed!!!lets not paint the past fans votes as somehow educated, and all these votes for Rory as somehow uninformed dupes.

I'm not saying that fans should be totally in control of the voting, but I don't want to see fan voting get tossed, either. Maybe some kind of compromise. Yes - many fans are blindly stupid and will vote for their entire team's roster if they can. Thing is, fans are the people that this game caters to, so like it or not they should have a say in who and what they watch. Let them pick half the roster, maybe, and allow the sportswriters and players to pick the rest. Give the coaches limited veto powers to include only the deserving players.

How about we get rid of the all-star game altogether? I think Ace Bailey's medical expenses have been covered.Maybe we can do away with the "temporary" sales tax too.
