No surprise there.

 

[ShaneFalco]

That will be more like Mitch's type of game

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

I wish all star appearances meant cups.

Obviously, he will be with his peers, but there is no game.

This not the all star game. It is best at their position.

 

[HarryLime]

more $$ for both of them

that's what it's all about

 

[Mess]

The Leafs were Kings of the North Div in the regular season and so having their players appear on the ALL-STAR team is no real surprise, as they piled up lots of points against the 6 Canadian teams.

more like jesters

Doubt they make the playoff all-star teams.

Trade the f'n all-star and his ugly cap hit before he takes a couple more over the glass penalties in the playoffs.

They were more like the Kings of Comedy. Check that, J(ch)okers.

Yes, Andrei Vasilevskiy, Adam Fox ,Cale Makar, Connor McDavid, Mitchell Marner, Brad Marchand all performed in their own divisions.

 

[HogTown06]

Despite their poor performance in the playoffs they are both all-star players I think, no surprise there.

Since the pandemic created a once in a lifetime only, unique realignment and shortened 56 game with closed division play only regular season scenario, then overall it with have lots of *** asterisk *** attached as an anomaly denoting the footnotes and disclaimers.

An asterisk is a star-shaped symbol (*) primarily used to call attention to, indicate an omission, point to disclaimers & footnote irregularities or to stand for omitted matter.

So this years 1st and 2nd pandemic All-* (Asterisks) teams were announced today.

Now the true test will come next year when we return to normalcy of a full 82 game season and old Divs and you face all 31 other NHL teams and not just play the same 6 teams 9-10 times each if Auston and Mitch can repeat this performance. The Rocket Richard winner would have a leg up on being named to an NHL All-Star so I like Auston's chances as he is likely going to compete for that award annually. IMO

Of course, because there will be no physical contact/body checking.

What game? He hasn't made next season's all star game. This is the end of the year best players by position.

 

[Primary Assist]

This is a huge honor, regardless of any other circumstances. Congratulations to these two.

 

[socko]

Rantanen easily over Marner. You can make a case for Draisaitl over Matthews.

oh for sure. I expect Auston to compete for Rocket every year. Ovi, Pasta and Auston imho what we should see again ( Ovi got bit of of-year, Pasta lost games due to surgery ). That being said I think that with the level of play he showed during the year, I see him winning during a regular season with those two competing up to their potential. Not saying he'll beat them next year, but I think this one would be his regardless of these circumstances.

The leafs generated more percentage of shots from the cycle and the forecheck than every team in the playoffs. The issue was that there was little "rush" scoring chances. So much for that theory but dont let a good story get in the way of confirmation bias.

 

[hamzarocks]

Marner should've been 2nd team with Rantanen over him


mack/Draisaitl had a case for 2nd team Center but the league has a hard on for goals so matthews got it

 

[AvroArrow]

1st team all-star, 0 goals in last 18 playoff games. Regular season goat, playoff no show.

I know, I was just adding to his comment
