Varlamov and Bishop should definetely have been nominated over Quick and Howard on the Canadian side 😉 No okposo? He is 7th in the league right now!
No Claude Giroux either. Task tsk
based on olympics…thats why alot of good players are not listed…and alot of guys who wouldnt normally be listed for all star teams
Hadn’t seen that. Curious. Still doesn’t explain Varlamov’s omission. He has been nothing short of spectacular this year. Rask, Bishop, and Varly have been the best three so far this season no question.
No Jagr Either! ahhh
No love for Raanta??? Hah
Jagr and Varlamov have been added to the list of eligible players.
yeah and no Pavelec either wtf he was definitely going to be my #1 goalie pick lol..
if anybody else is missing please post here and consider them eligible (only if they are also in the olympics)
Nice to see 3 leafs heading to all star game. Keith, Tavaras and Parise. Do me proud boys.
Good job Vikings…nice showing despite a sub-par performance as a team this year! Gotta get our act together to hit the 8 spot!
goalie domination!
holy lopsideedness batman!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys missing that are going to the Olympics from the Mustangs:
Cam Fowler, Patrik Berglund, Michael Raffl, Olli Maatta (should be ROY), Nikita Nikatin, Carl Hagelin, Tomas Kopecky. I think the only one that should be up for the allstar nod that was missed was Cam Fowler and maybe Maatta if your going to have a “Young Guns” game. 😉
