Philly media votes Van Riemsdyk as the #1 star in a game their team loses 1-0 and our goalie stood on his head many times and ended up with 35 saves? Wow, what an insult...I can't remember too many games where a goalie gets a shutout and was outstanding the entire game and wins the game and gets voted the number 2 star behind a guy that didn't get it done for the home team...

 

Yeah, take your #1 star, we'll take the win ######!

 

F You Philly...

who cares

 

my 3 stars:

 

Miller

Gaustad

Grier

 

No love for Kaleta? He did score the game-winner... :unsure:

 

 

Why do we expect anything else from Philly media???

They have Myers as the Third Star. That's accurate as he was easily their second best player tonight. His sophomore slump just cannot get any worse. A real liability tonight.

Anyone know how they decide these things? I couldn't care less, but now I am quite curious who decides the stars.

I'll give you that the refs pocketed their whistles in the last 4 minutes of the game, but what calls that went against the Sabres prior to that weren't penalties and which calls did the Phlyers get away with?

 

The Sabres inability to clear the puck from the zone was their own fault, not the refs. They'll have to play better than they did today to win the series (unless Miller continues to stand on his head, and even then ...) but the cool thing is, they didn't outplay Filly, but still came away w/ the W.

That call of interference was a fn joke..Mcmormick hit him when he had the puck...How can the ref miss that??Did he think the sta puff marshmallow man had the puck on the other side of the rink???? My god that was horrendous!!!!!!How bout the face slam on Gerbe 1 minute befroe that they somehow couldnt see...Abraham saw that one and put it in the stone tablets...WTF

The interference wasn't called for hitting the puckcarrier (Leino?), it was called for hitting Richards before Cody got to the other Phlyer.

 

Not sure what you are referring to as the 'face slam' on Gerbe. But even if that one goes the Sabres' way, it's still 5 legit calls against the Sabres and 2 against the Phlyers.

 

Flat out simple, the Sabres have to play smarter and better from here on out. Miller stole one for them.

No, all of the accredited media votes, not just home,

 

Typically, it's only the home town media... according to the Denver Post visiting media present in the press box can be included, depending on the city, although I've never heard that before. It's definitely not the case in Philly, not that it matters.

 

FWIW, Wikipedia says "Media representatives of the home team make the selections."

 

The history of the Three Stars is pretty interesting, and I'd never heard it before:

 

"Three stars were first awarded in the 1936–37 NHL season as a means for Imperial Oil (Hockey Night in Canada's then new principal sponsor) to advertise its “Three Star” brand of gasoline[1]. In addition, it was seen as a way to promote the game's best stars of the time[1]. After the sponsorship ended in 1976, the tradition remained on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's flagship hockey show[1]."

 

So much for the sanctity of hockey tradition!
