TrueBlueGED Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 The NHL has implemented a John Scott Rule for the ASG; you cannot be an AS captain if you are injured or are in the AHL. You have to be an active player to be on the ballot Good move by the NHL. Wouldn't want every ASG to be as fun as last year's! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabres Fan in NS Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 The NHL has implemented a John Scott Rule for the ASG; you cannot be an AS captain if you are injured or are in the AHL. You have to be an active player to be on the ballot I also think they are limiting the fan voting to captains only from each division, but maybe I have that all wrong, as I just glanced the news piece.

Randall Flagg Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Craig Cunningham collapsed during a game a few days ago, and it's serious. Hope he pulls through.http://www.tsn.ca/hockey-community-praying-for-craig-cunningham-1.613515 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine you need to find tickets scanned data, not sure where you would get it but they must track it. Was having a discussion with a couple of friends about attendance, and basing attendance on tickets sold doesn't really tell us anything. I'm sure the league would make it difficult for anybody to get their hands in actual turnstile attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is virtually no way they don't have the info, it just might not be published info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drnkirishone Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 seems to me it would have been easier if they just struck off the write in portion of voting. they could control who can be voted for and would be able to avoid the whole goon problem altogether without going to the sleazy method of coercing teams to send players to the ahl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SabresBillsFan Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I live in Las Vegas and not really thrilled by being called the Golden Knights. Nevada is called the Silver State. I'm a big hockey fan and I don't even want season seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
