I researched it. Actually, they also have the same fan voting system in the NBA as well, and a partial fan voting system in the NFL (see links below).

So where was I wrong?

Obviously you are a fool. These choices are based on projections of possible candidates for the all-star game. Dan Boyle was one of the best d men in the league last year. McCabe, although you may look at him to be a horrible d-man has had some impressive statistical seasons, so he could be a candidate. Bouwmeester is long over due to finally breakout, and he is definitely a possible future all-star. Finally Henrick Tallinder. Now this is an interesting one, but the NHL is based on more than just points, it is also based on things like plus minus. This guy was close to plus 20 last year, and he is young and should get better, so all of his stats were expected to increase.
So my dumb friend, try to get an idea of the nhl on an overall basis, rather than just your lack of current knowledge.

mccabe is a 5 mil dollar player, fitzpatrick was a guy who was lucky to get dressed, I don't think mccabe making the allstar game would have the same effect.

I always thought when they spelled leaves they were making a pun about the D-men leaving the goalie all alone…The Toronto Maple Leaves love to leave their goalie undefended… kinda like that… i always laughed when i read it…

Yeah its americanized... dumbass...

You can vote for any player on any team with a fill in vote... you don't have to choose a player on the list if you really don't want to.

Football doesn't have fan voting.. nor does Basketball... if i'm not mistaken...

Blame bettman for all this crap... don't try and pin it on a nation....

LOL - I knew whe I spelt Avalanche that it looked wrong...I was pretty bored myself.

Leafs may not be correct but it is the name of the team which makes "leaves" pointless.

And in response to the "fishes" response I got....no matter how many fish you're talking about, 1 species or 20...it's still just "fish" it's a self plurralized word...yes I'm aware of my mis-spelling plurralized.

Man I'm bored.

While we are correcting spelling it is Avalanche.

Also The plural of leaf is leaves..while the word leafs is not actually correct. It would fine if they were called the Toronto Maple Leaf. Using Avalanche or Wild is not even related to the topic because you are talking about the Leafs whose team name is plural while the Wild and Avalanche are not plural.

I know I am just nit picking but hey I am bored

Actually that depends on how many species of fish there are… If its more than one you say fishes but if its a bunch of fish from the same species you say fish.
