People are angry today because that was a promise the league reneged on.

Incidentally, letting someone like Scott play in the ASG is a far sight more respectable in my mind than for the league to simply not name Crosby to the game at all. Lets face the facts on that one too: the NHL knew Crosby wouldn't go and took the easy way out rather than suspend one of the league's big stars - again - for failing to take this thing seriously.
