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.

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

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
