2015 All Star Team (Foligno and Toews named captains)

[Bee Sheriff]

No need. Toews intangibles will make all the opponents shoot the puck wide.

You think you're funny but the joke is overkill at this point.

This whole thread is overkill. It's an All Star Game folks, not like Toews and Foligno were named new Co-Commissioner's of the NHL

Apparently they're the presidents of all of hockey now? At least thats what it seems like based on some of these reactions. I guess All-Star game captains are important to some people.

You atleast seem to care enough to post here and get all touchy about few jokes. Lighten up, there are worse things in life than Toews jokes.

It's not the joke i'm bothered by, it's the constant repetition. Get a new joke :

 

[Super Cake]

Sucks that Rinne will miss the ASG.

 

[NSH615]

I guess they found Pekka's replacement

 

[Riseonfire]

I'd be shocked if it's not Fleury.

It's Halak.

 

[Super Cake]

They still need to get a replacement for Howard though don't they?

 

[Agalloch]

It's Halak.

Halak is replacing Howard. Fleury can still be part of the game for Rinne.

 

[Dying Alive]

Halak has a worse GAA, worse SV%, and fewer shutouts. Makes sense to me.

Selfishly I hope MAF tells them no if they ask him to replace Rinne. I'd rather him not get hurt and frankly it's ridiculous that they've passed him over twice now anyway.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

Fleury is in, replacing Howard.

 

[penguins2946*]

Fleury got named to the all-star team.



Good, I would have been slightly annoyed had they sent a worse goalie in Halak but not Fleury.

Well Fleury will go to the ASG

New York Islanders goaltender Jaroslav Halak and Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will serve as injury replacements at the 2015 Honda NHL All-Star Game to be played Jan. 25 at Nationwide Arena in Columbus (5 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVA Sports).

Halak and Fleury will replace injured goalies Pekka Rinne of the Nashville Predators and Jimmy Howard of the Detroit Red Wings.

 

[systemsgo]

So who goes for the Red Wings?

 

[Bee Sheriff]

So who goes for the Red Wings?

No one? Not sure how he could be replaced since the only option would be a skater, which is a full position.

 

[penguins2946*]

Datsyuk will probably be named a skater once another forward gets hurt.

Yeah but until then, and if it doesn't happen, Wings fans won't be feeling the love.

T. Johnson will most likely miss the ASG.

 

[Mayor Bee]

Good to see Fleury get the nod.

We all remember what happened last time he was at Nationwide for a major game in front of an international audience.

How unfortunate.

 

[Bee Sheriff]

What a weak pool of goalies this year. I'd imagine the selections will go something like

1. Price
2. Wait did Price get picked yet?
3. Will you trade us Price for X-Forward?
4. Bobby Lu
5. Seriously, anyone you want for Price.
6. Bro-brovsky
7. Price, please?
8. Fleury
9. Halak

Worse? They have both played extremely well this season, have similar stats, and are deserving of their all star game nominations. Take off your homer glasses.

Fleury stats: 2.16 GAA, .926 save%
Halak stats: 2.22 GAA, .917 save%

Yeah, Fleury is better than Halak this year. There are 13 starters with a better save% than Halak, there are only 3 above Fleury. They don't have similar stats, unless you consider Mason (.920 save%) and Rinne (.931 save%) having similar stats.

The all-star game is a major game? What?
