Jägermeister Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Zemgus Girgensons, who is already a permanent fixture on the NHL All-Name team, is now looking like he will be on an NHL All-Star team as well. Girgensons has nearly twice the votes of any other player in the league. As of yesterday he was just a few short of 400,000. PK Subban is second with a touch over 240,000.

Jägermeister Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Rory had one province, Zemgus has an entire freaking country backing him. BC as a has a total population of 4.6 million people. In fact, just the the Metro Vancouver region has 2.3 million people. The whole country of Latvia has just over 2 million. #Vote4Zemgus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Letting the fans decide who goes to the all star game takes away the meaning of it. It should be a game featuring the best of the best, not the most popular. But since every team needs 1 representative, Girgensons would be the best choice for the Sabres.

Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 BC as a has a total population of 4.6 million people. In fact, just the the Metro Vancouver region has 2.3 million people. The whole country of Latvia has just over 2 million. #Vote4Zemgus of those 2.3 million how many are on this board? 800-1500. And of those 800-1500 how many can vote? The ones with nhl accounts. Of those people with nhl accounts, how many want to vote very few. Of those very few how many will remember to vote for him after leaving this thread, very few. Still think he will make it in though cause each team needs one member. Just not from our voting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butters Stoch Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 This isn't as big of a joke as people might think. The NHL tries to get at least one player from each team and Zemgus has probably been the Sabre's best player this season. He's likely to be in the game whether or not he gets enough votes anyways.

CanuckofSteel Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Why do people have to be such big haters? Zemgus will probably not get a shot at being a top all-star again, so why not just let him have this. The all star game is not a big deal anymore anyway, it's just a game where the players go and have fun along with the fans just having fun watching it. It's in no way a serious game, so why is it so bad that Girgensons will end up being a top 6 vote getter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
