Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 James Mirtle @mirtle 26m Oh boy, more awards voting. NHL names the end of year all-star teams and Ovechkin makes the first AND second team as both a RW and LW. Oy. James Mirtle @mirtle 6m Email to PHWA voters in April: "If you intend to vote for Alex Ovechkin, please note that he has been playing RIGHT WING wing this season." Stephen Whyno @SWhyno 15m I'm a proud member of @ThePHWA. We all make mistakes. This one on Ovechkin was a major one. Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 7m Ovechkin named 1st team all-star RW AND 2nd team all-star LW embarrassing. Some guys hard to label as L or R but not Ovie, not this year. Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 5m If you didn't know Ovechkin played RW this season, or didn't pick up the phone to find out, you really shouldn't be voting for awards. Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC 4m Just saw the All-Star voting. Oh boy...worse is that voters were WARNED about position change. Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 2m The really sad part, IIRC, is PHWA instructed voters via email that Ovechkin is a RW this season yet he still gets voted 2nd team LW. Unreal PHWA @ThePHWA 9m NHL All-Star teams, as voted by @ThePHWA: 1st Team - G Bobrovsky CBJ; D Subban MON, Suter MIN; C Crosby PIT; LW Ovechkin WSH; RW Kunitz PIT PHWA @ThePHWA 6m 2nd TEAM: G Lundqvist NYR; D Beauchemin ANA, Letang PIT; C Toews CHI, RW St. Louis, LW Ovechkin WSH. Ovie's just that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nas19 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 What a joke. Just goes to show you how dumb the NHL's process is when it comes to voting for awards. They need to fix it. Many questionable picks this year for awards and now this? Go home NHL. You are drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 It has nothing to do with the ASG. It is just an award at the end of the year to name the first and second best players at their position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerbera Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Why didn't they warn the voters who voted wrong to make adjustments before announcing it? Or drop the votes for Ovi on LW? NHL just embarrass themselves more with this mistake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
