Worst player in the NHL voted to the All star game

[bsmooth]

While this is dead ass wrong, it was hilarious nonetheless. The equivalent would be someone voting Jose Calderon in the NBA all star game.

Not even, Calderon starts and is somewhat serviceable. This dude only gets play if the other team has a big fighter, this is like Lou Amundson being voted an NBA all star

Fan voting is so corny. This isn't the first time hockey fans tried to vote a bum into the ASG.

Rory Fitzpatrick

2007 All-Star Game vote[edit]
During the 2006–07 NHL season, while playing for the Vancouver Canucks, despite having zero points in 18 games, Fitzpatrick finished third in All-Star Game voting for defensemen in the Western Conference with 550,177 votes, falling 23,000 votes shy of second place Nicklas Lidström, winner of 4 Norris Trophies and 3 Stanley Cups.[3] The idea was to use the new NHL procedure, where people were encouraged to vote as often as they liked, to have an unlikely candidate chosen. Contributors to this goal sent the idea across the Internet in the hopes of having Fitzpatrick voted in as one of the two starting defensemen for the Western Conference.[4] They also created several videos on YouTube as a way to spread news. A website, www.voteforrory.com, was created as well.[5] Fitzpatrick peaked in balloting at the number 2 position, before eventually being bumped from participation in the game to third place.

The plot was originally conceived as a humorous campaign designed to show the flaws in the NHL voting system. The logic was that if enough people voted for an unlikely player to start the game, the league would change its system. After some time, the plan metamorphosed for many into a more symbolic gesture.[6]

For his part, Fitzpatrick — who never actively supported the campaign beyond donning a T-shirt at the request of photographers — stated that he had gotten a kick out of the movement and acknowledged the hard work that his supporters had put into it.[7] Fitzpatrick's teammates were also supportive, with several voicing their intention to vote, and wearing customized "Vote for Rory" T-shirts at a team practice.[8]

The final voting results on January 13, 2007 saw Fitzpatrick finish in third place behind Scott Niedermayer and Nicklas Lidstrom, meaning he did not start in the All-Star game. Slate found the final results suspicious due to unlikely numerical coincidences in the final week of voting, and believed that the NHL altered the vote counts.[9]

Figured as much...

Still i'm gonna be immature and generalize...from my experiences they tend to be uptight as fukk complaining about small shyt...especially the White American sports fan.

Hockey fans decided to troll the NHL by voting a complete bum into the All Star Game. Dude isn't even in the NHL anymore, he got sent to the minors a few weeks ago

Think of the worst basketball or football player you can imagine and picture him getting voted to NBA All Star Game or Pro Bowl.

Need to do this for Robert Sacre.

That woulda been perfect with the ASG being in Canada
