Gaudreau was absolutely deserving of 1st all star but it isn’t like they were competing against each other (even Marner for that matter). It’s position based so Matthews beat out McDavid.

[Manhattanboy]

So of those two teams the Flames have the greatest representation with 3 players.

Not bad at all.

yeah but no Connor...

First Team All-Start is a massive achievement. Iginla only won three of them, and he was the best RW in the game for over a decade.

I don't love Marner's selection but I guess there wasn't any other choice besides Chucky.

But people want MT traded...because he might get paid a lot.

[The Cobra]

It’s hard to argue with those selections.

[looooob]

Flames also had 3 year end all stars in 87-88 (Loob, Sarge, suter ) and 88-89 (Macinnis, Vernon , Mullen)

Not sure if I missed any others

Pretty impressive that back to back you repeat with 3 totally different guys

More because he might not want to be here at all.

To be honest. McDavid was robbed here. He is not a 2nd team of anything
Should just be 3 forwards. Matthews, McDavid and Johnny. They don’t have LD vs RD

And Josi was robbed of the Noris

[Strange Brew]

Three all stars out of twelve total is just a massive achievement.

Flames had three in 1988 and again had three in 1989. But what is amazing about that is that they were six entirely different players. That is how good that team was.

Mullen, Macinnis, Vernon in 1989.
Loob, Suter McCrimmon in 1988.

Matthews was better during the season. That’s the way it goes.

Yeah my argument is why not just have 3 forwards. McDavid is more of a MVP to the Oilers than Matthews to the Leafs IMO. But that’s arguable

And Gilmour and Newyndyk and Makarov
Stacked team. It was a disappointment they only won one cup
