Wyldnwoody44 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Girgs is not gonna go to the all star game and start laying people out, it would be awesome to see, but it's just not going to happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Being an old-timer I can remember when the All-Star Games really meant something, to me at least. I would love to see Girgensons play in the All-Star Game, it should be because her earned it not because of the internet version of stuffing ballot boxes. For the record, I am also against idea that every team needs to be represented. Let the all-star game determine home ice advantage for the Stanley Cup Finals (as MLB does), then the game will mean something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjag Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I have ZFG for how Zemgus F Girgenson got into the ASG. Good for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robviously Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Being an old-timer I can remember when the All-Star Games really meant something, to me at least. I would love to see Girgensons play in the All-Star Game, it should be because her earned it not because of the internet version of stuffing ballot boxes. For the record, I am also against idea that every team needs to be represented. The ASG is a popularity contest and it has been for some time. By that standard, he earned it. And who cares? ASGs are a relic of the 20th century. It used to be that it was rare to see the stars from other teams play. Now everyone can watch every game on their TV, computer, and phone. No one should be upset that Zemgus is going to participate in a sporting event that will have less substance than a game show (because at least the people in game shows care if they win).

LGR4GM Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'll bet Zemgus isn't the last player picked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'm betting that Girgensons is the last skater picked. But I'm really glad he's in there. He's going to make a lot of Letts very happy, and he'll be the only reason I watch it. But yeah, I agree with everything you wrote. They should pander to the audience that elected him and have him be one of the captains. Since Latvia is the only country that will actually be watching the game, they may as well let Zemgus pick his team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) They should pander to the audience that elected him and have him be one of the captains. Since Latvia is the only country that will actually be watching the game, they may as well let Zemgus pick his team. It would make sense as he was the top vote-getter.

josie Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 So Zemgoos Geargunsons may be wearing one of these at the all star game... http://sports.yahoo....-221358956.html The stripes kill it. Looks like someone dug a shirt out of the salvation army bin that had been worn by someone with jeans on backwards. Black and neon green could work for something like the all star game but... not in this execution. The white version is simply terrible. The trompe l'oeil metal effect on the NHL shield sucks too. Man, I want the old black/orange NHL logo back. Seattle Seahawks have successful dark color/neon green uniforms in my opinion. Solid with an accent.

I always have thought that their jerseys are the most atrocious ones I've ever seen :P But since you're the art one...guess I'll have to concede, as my roommate is a hawks fan (yes one of the bandwagon ones) and we have that argument weekly :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvelo Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I like Gus and think he has great potential but I think the voting here was a corrupt sham and at this stage, he doesn't deserve All-Star status. But that's only my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Gus and the 5 BH's making the squad seems to work well w/ the 12 Days of Christmas (at least for day 5) but not sure of a line for Day 4. Fiiiiiivvvvvvee Blackhawks, 4 ..., 3 days off, 2 non-checking teams, and a Sabre from Lat-veee-a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
