Well, a vicious hit on Sidney Crosby would be nice, and Marc Staal gladly obliged:

The Sidney Crosby Show —
... Sid is getting tons of votes for the All Star Games - enough to surpass the JavaScript cheaters' picks. Puck Daddy wonders out loud if it is the legions of loyal Pens fans doing the voting or if something funny is going on here, too. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that it's not too far fetched to believe that the most popular player in the NHL could inspire enough people to register multiple screennames and vote multiple times, but whatever.

A Prime Example of Why the NHL All-Star Ballot Needs to be Modified

... as well as Pittsburgh Penguin fans team-voting texts , but Bruin fans needed to go an extra step to support their goaltender by writing him in on their ballots. Majority of those 65,587 votes likely came from the greater-Boston area, but had Thomas been included on the ballot, more fans would have easily voted for him because of his hot start instead of being lazy and not writing him in. If the NHL All-Star ballot is electronic-only, I don't see the reason why it can't be modified a day or two before it's officially released. Rick DiPietro, Sergei Gonchar, and Ryan Whitney ...
