Which Leafs will Be Named All-Stars ?

[CarltonTheBear]

Atlantic is a tough division in this format. Could probably make two pretty good teams with all the talent.

Honestly a Leafs/Lightning team could probably have won the whole thing:

Matthews
Tavares
Marner
Kucherov
Stamkos
Point

Rielly
Hedman
McDonagh

Vasilevskiy
Andersen

Carey Price is a horrible all star selection. I'm not just saying that cause I hate the Habs

 

[herman]

I see they went with brand recognition more than anything (sort of forced into Howard).

Yeah.  Requiring one selection from each team meant that it was Price, Petry, or Domi.  I'd argue having Domi go over the rest of the F in the division would have been the worst choice.  Petry probably should be going.  I'd have gone with:

F
Matthews
Kucherov
Marner
Point
Eichel
D
Yandle
Petry
Chabot
G
Halak
Howard

And leave the final voting to getting another forward in.

Don't forget to vote Mo for the all-star game! Or don't, I don't actually care. But these videos made me smile:

Imagine what this campaign would have looked like if Lou was still the GM.

Imagine what this campaign would have looked like if Lou was still the GM.

I'm imagining what this team would have looked like and I don't think there'd be anyone to campaign for.

 

[Bullfrog]

I get your sentiment, herman, but how would Lou being the GM all of a sudden make Matthews, Tavares, Marner, or Rielly somehow less talented?

 

[herman]

Haha why did we complain about Komarov and Martin and Polak and co. all these years?
Is Tavares coming over with Lou at the helm? And if he is, is he not absolutely going to be dragging Komarov around the ice?

 

[Bullfrog]

God, that's a scary thought. I see your point.

 

[herman]

Fortunately, Shanahan is one of us.

BTW: Rocket is a favourite word of Marner's.

Literally a straight-up MAN-ROCKET.

They've just revealed the All-Star jerseys and they're garbage:

I see what you are doing there, you double-entendrererererer.

The designs are a dud but I like the recycled marine debris aspect.

 

[Deebo]

I like that the jerseys have the team logo on them.

Yeah I think that's a neat change. Certainly better than just throwing the NHL logo on it like they've done the past few years. I just wish there was a little more colour. When they were first leaked I actually just thought it was a black and white image.

I mean there's no way Skinner beat Rielly and Point in voting but ok...

 

[herman]

So the Atlantic is fielding 7F 2D?

I was expecting one from Hainsey, actually, but I was also semi-expecting exactly this.
