NHL All star starters


Recommended Posts

here they are, announced just moments ago:

Eastern Conference

Joe Thornton (Boston) - C

Martin St. Louis (Tampa Bay)- RW

Ilya Kovalchuk (Atlanta)- LW - overall leading vote getter

Scott Niedermeyer (New Jersey) - D

Scott Stevens (New Jersey) - D

Martin Brodeur (New Jersey) - G

Western Conference

Mike Modano (Dallas) - C

Todd Bertuzzi (Vancouver) - RW

Bill Guerin (Dallas) - LW

Rob Blake (Colorado) - D - Western Conference leading vote getter

Nicholas Lidstrom (Detroit) - D

Marty Turco (Dallas) - G

Dallas and New Jersey dominated the balloting. Kovalchuk is making his first all star appearance for atlanta and was the overall leading vote getter by a large margin. all these are very deserving of the starting job.

Too bad it's in Minni (former home of the Stars) because guys like Modano have been crap this year and shouldn't have made it. Datsyuk should be the West centre and Sundin should be the East starter. I say that because of stats not bias.

Edit @ bayrider: :laugh: you're a funny one man. Souray lol.

draper and datsyuk are having seasons 100x better than modano's but he's a starter. i say the gm's should vote for the starting lineups themselves, not some people that know jack about hockey. i guess draper and datsyuk aren't known well enough just yet. i just hope either of them gets to play and i'll be happy. :)

why do they have damn Dallas players in there... they suck this year...

Simple. It's in Minnisota. Minnisota use to be home to the Minnisota North Stars whom are now the Dallas Stars. It's home town favouritism. There's no one to vote for on the wild so they vote for old North Stars.

BMac: whats wrong with Sheldon Souray? he's a great defensmen. Considering he just got back from a year off with a broken wrist to lead defensmen in scoring i dont see why he should not be in the All-Star game. He's a great offensive D

oh... is it because he doesnt play for the maple laughs?

I could not diasagree more. Minnesota is a Dallas hating state. Modano, Guerin, and Turco getting in has little to nothing to do with the game being in Minnesota. Besides, Modano would be the only player associated with the North Stars. The all-star game is for the fans and whether or not they are having a good season or not these guys are fan favorites.

First off: what the heck?! WHERE ARE THE DESERVING PLAYERS?!

I know I'm biased when I say this (I'm a Detroit Red Wings fan and I live in Dallas), but NONE of the Stars players that were seletected (with the possible exception of Billy G., but his stats don't tell you how his year has really been) deserve to be there. Madono has stunk it up, and Turco only got even decent recently.

That said, Lidstrom doesn't deserve to be there (as a starter), either. He's had a decent year, but he's not even the best defenseman on the Red Wings. Get Schneider and Datsyuk to go.

not bad, i think some different players should be on there. draper and datsyuk are having great seasons but they will never get the starting position specially draper he is so under-rated. He is one of my favorite players the past few season after attending wing games seeing him work his a$$ off every time on the ice, he never stops. I would agree with lidstrom too i would put schneider there instead, even wooley for the way of season he is having! but i know all of this reply has to do with the D-town Red Wings but thats the only team i really care about

Give Datsyuk some time and he'll make it. As for Draper, he is having the season of his life. He'll never do this well again. He needs recognition now before it's over. Lidstrom is a defense icon and that's why he's there.

Now the Dallas issue. Modano is only there cause it's in Minni. Guerin is a great player and I'm glad he made. Turco is one of the most well known active goalies that have done satisfactory. That's why he's there. RichieNine9 point taken.

I agree with you except for the Stars part. Guerin really isn't having a good season and neither is Turco.

Guerin is an elite player. I love his hard nosed style and am thrilled he's a starter. As for Turco, it's hard to find a guy in the West that's been better that has a name like he does. I would say Ozzie's been better but he doesn't attract the attention of a Marty Turco.

Where the hell is Sheldon Souray for the D?? he's by far one of the best in the league right now! hell, he's the leading scorer for his team!

lol sheldon souray wow hes had a hot streak but nothing else hes not great, lol leading point getter for the canadians lol shows you wat kind of talent they got,

1 other question how come Naslund aint starting for the west, hes better then bert

Tuzzi, like Guerin, plays a physical style that the fans love. Kind of dumb though considering the All Star game rarely has more than one hit thrown and it's usually Stevens who throws it.

1 SERGEI GONCHAR 39

2 ROB BLAKE 31

3 Chris Pronger 29

4 MATHIEU SCHNEIDER 29

5 SHELDON SOURAY 26

Damn I missed this one. First of all Souray will be in the All Star game he just won't be a starter. He's the flavour of the month. Second he is the top scorer with 13 goals but he doesn't have the face value a Stevens or Niedermeyer has. He will make the team but no one except a hard core fan has heard of him. He won't draw like the two electees will. As for your Maple laughs comment, enough with the past I live for today and at the moment the Leafs are on top of the Habs in the standings. :p

    • I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
