Steven Stamkos made it



GTFOH
isn't the like 4th on his own team in scoring.

A strong argument could be made for him being the 5th most important player on his team
1)Kucherov
2)Hedman
3)Point
4)Vasi
5)Stamkos

but yet he made the atlantic roster over guys like Marner

It’s simple. The hockey world revolves around the east coast. Most out west go unnoticed.

Gio is as talented and as hard a working guy there is in the NHL. He is also very humble. Not flashy enough to garner the attention of most of the drooling masses.

He’s as classy a guy as there is. He won’t say a negative word about the situation, and will use the time off to spend with his family. I’m proud he is our Captain.

For the rest of you, some love, some hate the All Star Game and Skills Competition 2 day event. Either way, take care of each other this New Year.

just so i have this straight... Giordano was bumped in favour of 3 players from California teams... because of East Coast bias.

Vasi and point are both more deserving

I was thinking the same
He should get a all-star nod before he gets injured for the year though.

lets be honest, the NHL wants more recognizable names there for the casual fans

That's why guys like Marner and Point got snubbed.

Also hilarious that Giordano and Rielly are 2 leading candidates for the Norris and both only made it onto the "vote-in" section

Nylander is a Swede so Holland would definitely be interested in him. He won't part with the few good assets he has so there will be no trade with Detroit.

So Giordano got bumped from a team composed entirely of West Coast players because of East Coast bias?

Math checks out.

I guess what he's trying to say is that the Western picks were more reputation based than the Eastern picks. Not saying that I agree with him, but Giordano has arguably been the best dman in the entire Western conference so I can understand the frustration for Flames fans.

BlackHawkMike - I think Metropolitan has best team...two great goalies over the other divisions 1 to 1.5 goalies.


And one of them will have a Cup-less career

At least the Leafs still have their 1st round pick...

But yea, Nylander is taking a dump on his team. His contract may destroy this team if he can't improve his production.
