Ozz-Factor is a Hurricanes fan. Rory's defensive ineptitude lead directly to their game winning goal in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. I'd imagine Rory is something of a folk-hero to Carolina fans.

I don't get it.

I voted Havlat a few times earlier, but really isn't he too fragile to be participating in any unnecessary hockey? If I were a Hawks fan I'd keep him in a foam-lined container wrapped in bubble wrap any time he's not out there scoring goals for my team.

We would have had lowtax as the entertainer of the year according to some entertainment tonight style TV show if it weren't so skewed in his favor.

Seriously, we had some crazy number of votes for him and they threw it all out because it was too outlandish.

The reality is that no matter how many votes rory gets, it is a ridiculously small chance he will actually be asked to come and play in the all star game.

Either the NHL realises the votes are spammed, Realises there is no way he should be in the all star game or this whole voting thing is a fraud anyways and they pretty much already have decided who is going to make it.

However there is a good chance that if we do get him a insane amount of votes that it does make some kind of news or press coverage, which is always funny.

I was hoping to see Rory at the all-star game with a grin from ear to ear. Now after reading this it makes me think Rory will be all :smith: like when he's being interviewed on television about being not welcome at the all-star game.

If everything goes according to plan, Rory will get on the All-Star team, which will raise his trade value which means that Nonis can trade Rory for something useful like water bottles or pucks.

Have you considered buying a banner ad for the forum, with simple instructions and linking it to the ballot?

I don't really see him making the starting line-up, or even the team to be honest; but if there's even a hint that he came close (a mention during the All-Star weekend, a blurb in some paper, etc.), I'd consider that a victory.

Next year, Dan Cloutier!
