Only Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin prevented the Montreal Canadiens from an All-Star sweep. The NHL announced the starting lineups Saturday for the midseason classic, and the host Canadiens filled four of the six slots for the Eastern Conference. Crosby and Malkin, teammates and linemates with the defending East champion Pittsburgh Penguins, both broke the record for the most votes and claimed two forward positions.

So four teams represented...sounds good for the league...:icon_rolleyes: How's the best player in the league not wind up a starter??? Ridiculous...
No Sharks in there. I really hate the NFL and the NHL All-Star selections. NBA the fans mostly get it right, until the Chinese ruin it. The MLB is done really well and put in the players that deserve it.
this voting is a joke ^^ habs , pens fans have no lifes :icon_cheesygrin: where are the sharks, bruins, caps , flyers players ????? thats why the nhl all star game is BS .... GO CAPS GO !! :icon_cheesygrin:
I don't watch much of the nhl but I try to atleast watch the all star game atleast. Love watchin Crosby
