So pumped suter, weber and craig smith made it

 

[Teagz]

Wow Lidstrom didnt make it. First time in a while IIRC.

 

[germany00]

Ya lol i saw that, Wideman beating him out of a spot <<<<

 

[Teagz]

Yeah I was like wtf? Nice to see Howard make it though and Rinne got screwed imo.

 

[The Guid]

Pretty sure Lidstrom declined. Like Selanne.

 

[germany00]

Fuck i know man, Cannot believe Rinne did not make it, IMO he is one of the top 5 if not top 4 Goalies

 

[iInsulin]

Pretty sure Lidstrom declined. Like Selanne.

Aren't players not allowed to decline? Bettman usually makes a pretty big deal about guys choosing not to play in these games I thought.

Glad the draft was back, it's something unique and fun.

I can see suter or wideman going last for some reason :/

 

[germany00]

Honestly i thought del zotto would get a spot

 

[NV]

Girardi, Gaborik, and Lundqvist for the Rangers. Great to see Girardi make it, he's grown into such a nice player.

 

[dh1333]

I can see suter or wideman going last for some reason :/

Defensemen and goalies can't be picked last.

 

[germany00]

Defensemen and goalies can't be picked last.

Really why not?

 

[dh1333]

Really why not?

The D and goalies all have to be picked by a certain round.

 

[germany00]

ooooh, didnt know that

 

[The Guid]

No Bergeron <<<<

 

[germany00]

Oh i know eh, i thought bergeron was for sure in... cant believe alfie is in tho, that original voting thing at the start was so dumb, 4 sens got in....

 

[Teagz]

Does every team have to be represented like baseball or does it not matter?

 

[germany00]

Yea they all have to represented, i personally think it should just be the best of the best

 

[Teagz]

Yeah thats one of the grips I have against all star games in general.
