Nice to see Schneider and Luongo both having great years and on the all-star team...Miller is not.

I would've thought Frederik Andersen would have gotten the call over Gibson actually. Well, I guess the U-23 Team at the World Cup knows who their goalies are going to be: Gibson and Hellebuyck

[northcrunk]

All they need to do is have Gaudreau follow Scott up the ice while Scott runs everyone over and screens the goalie for Johnny to go 5-hole.

[Robbob]

John Scott will probably be the only player that gives it his all. He will probably try to block shots and try to hit people. Glad Gaudreau is on his team.

[tvp2003]

John Gibson?

<< Looks at the rest of the goalies in the Pacific >>

Oh. Carry on.

Well he has turned in on as of late, maybe this is Crosby's new elaborate plan to avoid going to the ASG and get a holiday instead, start off like S***, turn it on after

Only if it is John Scott #69

Central may be the most stacked but because of its CGY representatives, the Pacific will have the edge 3 on 3. If only they brought in Brodie too, to have the full Flames trio.

The All Star game makes a mockery of every major league sport.

[OutOfTheCube]

Glad to see Ryan O'Reilly make it, he is having a great year and definitely deserves to be there. And not just as the token Sabres representative.

[ScorchyScorch]

Too bad Safeway score and win doesn't apply to this.

I just hope there aren't any Tim Horton's in Nashville....


Love seeing Johnny go there but hate that he isn't the captain. It's nice to see Gio go but it would have been better IMO to see Brodie. I wonder how long it is before Hamilton goes.

They must've figured it would an unfair advantage to the pacific if they had both Johnny and Brodie in a 3v3 tournament. To balance things out they put in Gio and Scott instead.

Hamilton I'll say in 2 years is an AS lock. Brodie next year if the league has any sense at all.

You could fix this by putting Wheeler in for Toews and Klingberg in for Byfuglien. Wheeler is a better option for Winnipeg than Byfuglien, Klingberg is having a better season than Toews.

Brodie should've made it. But glad to see Johnny and Gio getting back in it.

The thing is, Scott should NEVER have been provided the opportunity, since he is the furthest thing from a star in the NHL. Hell, there is some question about whether he is even a NHL player.

It shouldn't matter in the slightest whether or not Domi will get more opportunities. Quite frankly, we have no idea what could change over the course of time to affect his future eligibility. We HOPE this is the case, but it still does not justify including a player who can barely play hockey at his expense. If I were him, I would be pissed.

Johnny would cost them a few mil. Hoping he dangles and puck-hogs his way to double digit goals.

I'd personally rather Gaudreau doesn't even associate with Hall and his loser stank. I hate that they have to be on the same team. I'd rather see Gaudreau walk right past Hall again and again and again on his way to many goals. Hall can keep his jagger shots to himself.

[bob-loblaw]

Gaudreau will set up Scott for about 5 goals on 3v3. Does Scott have anything to do during the skills competition?
