That is Soooooooo NHL-y. People - vote for Dahlin, Cozens, & Tuch. Let's see if we can get at least 3 Sabres in this foolishness. 1 Quote

Expand They'll reveal the other two divisions soon. But if you want to ***** with the AtlanticMetro division, be sure to vote in two more forwards that suck, thereby denying them defense. 1 Quote
Taro T Posted January 6, 2023 Report Posted January 6, 2023 Went to NHL.com to see how the fan vote for the rest of the team works. Fans only choose 2 skaters & 1 goalie per team and you vote by either going here NHL Gamezone or via twitter. To vote by tweet, "(e)ach fan tweet must include the complete hashtag "#NHLAllStarVote" followed by a player's full name or a player's Twitter handle. Only referencing a last name will not count. All Twitter votes will be combined with online vote totals." Not happy about this, because not sure Dahlin will be able to beat out both Pastrnak & Matthews. Much less McAvoy & others. The Adams division might have 0 defensemen playing. Quote
North Buffalo Posted January 6, 2023 Report Posted January 6, 2023 Guadreau has been awful this season... have him in fantasy and I cant drop him... how is he even named... what a joke. 1 Quote

Voted for Tuch and Dahlin, but I get the impression the results will be skewed towards folks who are tech savvy and know how to easily stuff the ballot box. Pretty much like how we elect everyone nowadays. Quote
Curt Posted January 6, 2023 Report Posted January 6, 2023 Extremely happy for Thompson. He definitely deserves it, but this who thing seems like it’s going to be really poorly executed. How many players are going to be in each team? Quote

Are you saying that too many players are selected, or are you saying that they aren’t selecting the correct players? Quote
Drag0nDan Posted January 6, 2023 Report Posted January 6, 2023 So... Dahlin has... a shot? maybe? Pastnak should get in. Vasilevsky should be the goalie. I'd guess matthews - which gives them no d-men on the actual all star team. I don't think any of this matters 🙂 Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 6, 2023 Report Posted January 6, 2023 Voting does matter in this thing. Remember when all of Latvia and every Sabre fan everywhere voted Zemgus in. It was awesome. 2 Quote
msw2112 Posted January 6, 2023 Report Posted January 6, 2023 The fact that there are few/no defensemen is silly. Dahlin belongs in the ASG under any circumstance and it should not be left to chance the way that it is. That video was also awkward, contrived, and silly. I realize what they were trying to do with it, but it just didn't happen. Thompson is obviously a reserved, low-key guy off the ice, and it showed in the video. If I was the Sabres PR/Marketing team, I would have abandoned the idea after seeing how it went. Notwithstanding my comments above, it was earned and well-deserved for Tage, so congrats to him! 2 1 Quote

Expand Which is why they're limiting the fan voting to ~10 days and have several other hurdles for allowing a vote to count. The NHL ALWAYS does the expedient thing rather than the right one & could screw up a 1 car parade. 1 2 Quote
