Very shot post today I just wanted to mention one thing that has been bothering me. I am all for the All-Star game I think it is a ton of fun, great entertainment of all hockey fans. The one thing I have a problem is the selections. I like the fans voting for their favourite stars to start the game and they usually get all the guys who deserve to be there but the selection for the injury replacements is where I dont get it. Whoever chooses these guys, I dont know should really give their head a shake.
First reason, now this is definitely a biased Flames opinion but why isn't Kristian Huselius there, he has been having a awesome year. He should be, in my mind anyways been there way before Ribiero and Perry ever should of gotten consideration. Plus with the new judged shootout, points for creativity thing, the NHL should have been all over in brining this guy down to Atlanta and show the fans what he can do. I think this is crazy.
The second reason is how is Scott Niedermayer there????? He has played 19 games this year. This is absolutely ridiculous. He is no doubt a world class player but in no way he is an NHL All-Star, well just definitely not this year. Other guys like Robyn Regehr, Brian Rafalski and Dan Hamhuis all got passed over for Niedermayer and I cant figure out why. This is the ultimate brain scratcher.
