The novelty would have worn off suddenly.

To be fair not a lot of people watch the All-Star game for the quality of hockey. And in Scott's case I think a lot of people saw an everyman making the All-Star game and were cheering for him.
It also occurred to me that All-Star game selection always sucks. When it was the media or whomever used to do it they always picked on reputation and seemed to skip guys who were just having good seasons but deserved to go.
