from the Calgary Sun,
If the Internet-based attempt to get write-in Rory Fitzpatrick into the starting lineup of the NHL All-Star Game isn’t enough proof—the injured journeyman Vancouver Canucks defenceman may even leapfrog Calgary Flames phenom Dion Phaneuf into fourth or higher among blueliners when the updated numbers come out in a couple of days—take a look at how far defending Vezina Trophy winner Miikka Kiprusoff is behind the Dallas Stars’ Marty Turco….
“Fan voting is a dumb way to do it,” said Flames defenceman Andrew Ference yesterday on picking starters. “The All-Star Game is about having the best players showcased. The people who know that best are the people involved in the business.
“Really, it can be so skewed with fan voting, it’s silly. The last people who should have the final word are hometown fans.”
