Neidermayer an All Star???

[Makemegm]

I was reading on TSN that Scott Neidermayer has been added to the Western Conference All Star team. How does he get added when he missed half of the season??

All of whom, with the exception of Visnovsky and Blake, should have gone ahead of Neidermeyer.

i even think Blake should have been chosen ahead of him.

It's BS, there were numerous people more deserving. But, ah well, what are ya gonna do?

[VegasHockey]

That's total BS! He's definitely of All-Star caliber as a defenseman but no, not in the 2007-08 season. He's barely played. It's just like when Gretzky went to St. Louis and they automatically made him the captain. It's retarded name recognition.

[Trapper9]

That's B.S.!! I would feel the same way if it were Blake or Johnson if they only played 17 games. It would be different if they were voted in, but that's not the case.

No Rafalski, eh?

[jlhamon]

I have utmost respect for him and what he's doing for his team, but 17 games shouldn't make you an all-star. Sorry.

That would have been a nice choice, although I can somewhat understand that one since there's already enough Red Wings within the game.
