Congrats Quick , Kopitar and Doughty 2018 All Stars

[Moog]

It's all a farce.

Go Kongs!

The All Star game?? You mean the offensive-(zero defense)showcase with-zero hitting and a Mike Emerick insanely yelling that something miraculous was always taking place to keep everyone interested All Star Game?? It's an honor I suppose but will once again tune the travesty out.

Is this the only time its appropriate to offer up a "Dilly Dilly"?

Congrats, but I always hate when Quick makes the ASG. I don't like our goalies playing unnecessary games and potentially injuring themselves or being exposed or ruin their confidence by getting scored on so much. I know it sounds stupid, but I'd rather have Quick relax at home.

Yea, I'm with you 100%. With Quicks's style and importance to an entire team, he should sit this one out and pay the fine! According to this site the repercussions are simply.. Per League rules, a player who is named to the NHL All-Star Game and does not participate shall be suspended for one regular-season game – either the game immediately preceding or following the NHL All-Star Game. Ovechkin will miss the Capitals’ game on Feb. 2 against the Florida Panthers, while Toews will miss the Blackhawks’ game on Feb. 2 at the Colorado Avalanche. https://www.sbnation.com/nhl/2016/1/...jonathan-toews

Why wouldn't more players and GMs go for this tiny slap on the wrist, only suspended one measly game? I mean, so what, Quick gets rested, Keumper comes in and all is back to normal without risking injury! WIN/WIN

It's the super star game not all star imo. Brown, Tofi, could have been honored but are not the face of the team anymore.
