Weber for President

In Hockey, Sports on November 13, 2008 at 9:34 am

Ok, not for President, but for the all-star team.

The NHL All-Star balloting has begun (yes, it seems early to me, too), and this year the NHL is using a new voting system on the web that lets fans (1) Vote as many times as they want and (2) instantly see a running tally of how many votes each player is getting.

But let’s cut to the chase. If you want to vote as i did, (Arnott, Dumont, Erat, Weber, Suter, Ellis for the West – Timmonen, Hartnell, Vokoun for the East) then just click on the button below .

You can check the current standings here.

    you seriously only voted for Preds & ex Preds?


    all I can say is wow, the fact that you didnt vote for any other West or even East players that dont play for your team is well, just odd.

    Um... not really. I've always done that. Lots of people always do that. Look at Montreal in the east. Their fan base is stuffing the box like crazy.


    I've always voted straight-ticket for the Spurs in the NBA and Preds in the NHL. Its called being a fan.

    being a blind fan, see I am fan, but I am also a fan of the game. thats why I will vote for Weber but no other Pred, cause they dont DESERVE to go but Weber does.


    See there is difference in being a fan, and just being unwilling to recognize talent on other teams.



    None of those other Preds you will vote for deserve to go to the All Star game, MAYBE Arnott, MAYBE.



    So if Preds fans are like you and vote Preds across the board and vote more then fans of other teams they get to go? Thats not right, and I would think you could recognize that.

    I think Dumont deserves to go before Arnott by far.


    I am totally a fan of the game, and have voted a few times for other players in the East.



    But i'm a fan of the Preds before i'm a fan of "the game".



    I'll cheer for a good competative game between two Eastern teams. Otherwise i want East to beat other Western teams, Western teams to beat other Central teams, and the Preds to beat everyone.
