Should be but isn't. So, if the fans want to see Rory in an All-Star game, that's the way it is. It really doesn't have much effect on hockey. It's just one exhbition game. I doubt Mike Modano is going to lose any sleep over it.

It doesn't mean the fans want to see Rory in the NHL All Star Game just because he makes it. Thats the flaw itself. Is that just because Rory makes it must mean the fans all want him to be in it. Wrong.

Unlimited voting means the same people are probably voting for him over and over. It should be one vote per member. Fuck never mess with a good system.

Leave it bettman to fuck just one more thing up in the NHL. Whats next bettman.

I think the naysayers should lighten up. I see Grapes was bitchen about this the other night saying that people were laughing at Rory, and not with him. The later is true. The allstar game isn't serious anyways, who cares.

Serious or not its a game to showcase the All Stars of the league having some fun with it.

Just like in the Pro Bowl for the NFL. Imagine if Peyton Manning got his spot taken by some no name player just because people could vote that no name in.

The All Stars of the league as voted on by the fans. If the fans say he's an All Star, he's an All Star. Thems the rules. You might as well just relax and have fun with it.

Imagine if the entire football league was replaced by everyday guys during a strike....hey, that actually happened in 1987 and was later made into a semi-successful film.

Cheers to that!

Plus, Don Cherry wasn't bitching when he was voted into the top 10 as a write in candidate for "The Greatest Canadian" on CBC (the top 10 people got hour long CBC specials about them).

Cherry is a bigger joke than the vote for Rory campaign could ever be. Someone should start some sort of "vote senile Don Cherry off of Hockey Night In Canada" deal.

It'll be a truly epic loss for hockey when we lose Don Cherry. Almost everyone else on TV is an ass-kissing pussy moron.
DEATH TO KELLY HRUDEY!!!

I still don't see any benefit of him playing. That in itself is a joke.

p.s: Cherry is starting to lose his marbles, but still shouldn't be taken off of hockey night in canada. He is becoming a little senile and crazy in what he says though.

Rory deserved to go to this game more than that fucking bum Cheechoo. That guy is our generation's Kevin Stevens.
