If someone who has a similar background, or has been intimately involved in the event, wants to disagree, fine, but not a guy with no sports background.

you can challenge that, Hrudey was an all-star 100 years ago when the Wales and Campbell Conference actually hated each other.
The fan is the paying consumer and they're voting however they want to. They are obviously not taking this game seriously anymore.
Freidman brought up that baseball has write in votes too, But nobody votes Kawasaki into the all-star game. Because that game still has value and tradition. At some point the NHL lost that.
