... in the trial channels. To end with some good news is that there likely will not be another "Vote for Rory" campaign which hijacked the voting news last season. The league has implemented a security code verification number that you must enter before submitting your selections. This is obviously to ensure there's no mass voting machines skewing the numbers like what happened last season. Be sure to vote early and vote often. You can start by following this link to being voting for the 2008 NHL All-Star Game

Filling Out Your NHL All-Star Ballot - Eastern Conference: Because Knowledge is Power
Published 11/17/2007 by justin at Every Facet of the Game
... That's it for the Eastern Conference. Later the Western. But for now, head over and take a look at the advertisement, er... I mean the XM/NHL All-Star Game Ballot presented by 2K Sports (and I thought it was painful to say the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim). Sure voting online isn't really that personal, you won't get a sticker, but you can vote like 50 times. Try pulling that in real life. Well, outside of Florida of course. ...

... So let's bring back a lil edge to the game and get the Boogey Man in! Vote early, and vote often. Also, a little aggravating sidenote - if you look at the write-in list for the East, you can vote for most anyone, aside from Sean Avery. Amazing how he pisses off the league and they 'accidentally' leave him off the ballot. The NHL administration is really a vindictive, bitter bunch who are entirely out of touch with the fans. Its quite pathetic. So screw them and Vote For Boogey! ...

12 Days of Kovalchuk: Day 1, He's the NHL's Leading Goal Scorer
Published 12/11/2007 by Jennifer at Southeast Shootout
'Tis the season for All-Star voting and what better way to celebrate that borrowing a gimmick from that old Christmas classic. As hockey lovers in the south we are quite accustom to being treated like the red-headed stepchild of the league. Atlanta players aren't featured in any of the commercials promoting the NHL. None of our players are honored with their own NHL Player Website. We are only shown on nationally aired games if we happen to be playing the Crosby Kids. So I'm really not surprised that the best individual player of this ...

12 Days of Kovalchuk: Day 2, Even the Canadians Admit He's Awesome
Published 12/12/2007 by Jennifer at Southeast Shootout
Welcome to the 2nd day of Kovalchuk. I had all 12 days nicely planned out, but our new BFF, Jim Kelley at SportsNet.ca, has inspired me to change up day two. Jim has written one of the best all-out love-fest pieces praising Ilya Kovalchuk that I've ever read. Certainly the best words of praise that have ever originated from our neighbor to the north. How does Mr. Kelley think Kovy stacks up against Sidney Crosby and Vincent Lecavelier? And while I would argue that all three players make the ...

12 Days of Kovalchuk: Day 3, He Blows Bubbles and Plays Hockey at the Same Time
Published 12/14/2007 by Jennifer at Southeast Shootout
... Today's reason to send Ilya Kovalchuk to the All Star Game is a departure from days 1 and 2. It is a frivolous bit of fun for a Friday and as far as I know it is something I don't have documented as an ability of Alex Ovechkin or Vincent Lecavelier. (Take that CapsChick, Marsha, Chad...) ...

12 Days of Kovalchuk: Day 4, He is a Beast on the Road
Published 12/17/2007 by Jennifer at Southeast Shootout
On the 4th day of Kovalchuk we return to the serious and stat-minded reasons to cast your vote. Don't worry--we have more funny ones--but today's reason should appeal to you non-Thrasher fans. More than any other forward in the NHL, Ilya Kovalchuk is simply a beast on the road. Over the course of 18 road games he has 17 goals. Yes, when Kovy comes to play on your ice there is a greater than 94% chance he scores a goal. How do his closest competitors in the All Star Voting stack up? If you look at their percentages it is ...

12 Days of Kovalchuk: Day 5, He Can Land a Solid Punch
Published 12/18/2007 by Jennifer at Southeast Shootout
... On the 5th day of Kovalchuk we ask you to cast your vote by addressing your frequent misperception. For some reason you all keep thinking that Ilya Kovalchuk is a softy. I think this reputation is based in part on the fact that he gets hit a lot. Most great players do. Because we need him on the ice he isn't a designated fighter. But this season he's clearly shown he can go from taking it on the shin to dropping the gloves to defend his teammates. ...

12 Days of Kovalchuk: Day 6, Carolina's On His Mind
Published 12/20/2007 by Jennifer at Southeast Shootout
On the 6th day of Kovalchuk we ask you to cast your vote by pandering to the Carolina Hurricane fans among you. If you were hiding under a rock this fall you might have missed the revelation that Ilya Kovalchuk and his wife named their daughter Carolina. The AJC has no interest in keeping their hockey stories around too long, but back on November 16 Craig Custance reported that Carolina was chosen because Kovy and his wife thought it was a beautiful name that sounded great with Kovalchuk. Why is this worthy of your vote? ...

12 Days of Kovalchuk: Day 8--Shooting %
Published 12/27/2007 by Jennifer at Southeast Shootout
Yesterday the NHL released the latest numbers...and I must say I expected more from our readers. We still have a few more days so get to work and make up for this recent poor showing. One of the highlights of the All Star Games is the Skills Competition. And who would you rather see facing off in that competition? A forward who scores on a mere 12% of the shots he takes? Of one who scores on over 20% his shots? On the 8th day of Kovalchuk we ask you to cast your vote by pointing out that Ilya Kovalchuk has the best shooting ...

... of NHL arenas, but from what I've seen the Thrashers folks do a great job of putting together pieces for in-game entertainment. They obviously aren't as partial to Ilya Kovalchuk's as we are--they boldly ask you to include Marian Hossa and Slava Kozlov when you vote. This is a good effort from them (too bad their video embed link doesn't work well with blogger...so scroll to the end of the post) so we share it here and ask you to cast your vote today. If the video doesn't do it for you then perhaps the promise from ...
