Who’s to blame for the sudden drop-off in votes….stubby-fingered Wing fans, or a stubby commish?

The momentum picked up by the Vote for Rory campaign in the recent weeks has stalled as evil Nicklas Lidstrom has leapfrogged Rory into 2nd place in the All-Star voting race for Western Conference defenseman.
Doesn’t it seem a little fishy that Rory Fitzpatrick (Like a glove) is suddenly in 3rd place? Are Wings fans smartly stuffing the on-line ballot boxes or is the NHL manipulating numbers?
I’m torn. While I don’t doubt the possibility of a frantic league official ordering janitorial staffers to “click…ok, click again…AGAIN”, I kinda think Wing fans taking this whole thing WAY too personally are the true culprits, if you want to label them that.
In the end though…as I’ve said, we have only ourselves to blame. Fan voting in any sport is a farce.

About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
