Allsports says Montreal Canadiens Fans Missing the Point on All Star Ballots

While looking for sports on the web, I came across a few articles that were suggesting the Montreal Canadians fans were loading the ballot box for their players in the upcoming All Star game.

As it stands now, six positions on the Eastern Conference All Star Team are occupied by Canadiens players.

What a load of crap that is, no Crosby or Malkin to be seen, just a bunch of Habs players. It reminds me of the Rory Fitzpatrick fiasco of a couple of years ago. Or was it last year. Anyway, I digress.

The point here is some stupid fans miss the point all together on what the All Star game is about.

Incidents like this just add fuel to the discussion that fan voting should not count for that much when picking the team and an appointed NHL panel should have the final say on who goes.

People who will study the players merit for being there and can truly make a qualified opinion.

Crap like this just makes fans look stupid, so way to go, you Habs fans out there, get some class will you?

Here is a sports news article on the web on the subject posted on NHL.com.

I think this Habs fan is a little misguided although, yes, Montreal is hosting and yes, it is their 100th anniversary, would you still not want to see the BEST players?
