That was during the worst slump of his career. The guy has captained a team to two straight Cups, and won two Conn Smythes in the process (whether or not those were deserved is questionable). The league won't have an ASG without their poster boy.
I have a problem with the Vegas selection. Neal over Karlsson and Marchessault...
I was thinking the same. I actually have a problem with a few selections, but there's nothing that could be done since each team must be represented. That's why we have Mike Green in the Atlantic. Hanifin in the Metro instead of Carlson, Gostisbehere or Werenski. Now being completely biased, I would swap Eichel or even Marchand for Mark Stone. He's been lighting it up all season for the most part. I might even go as far to say Stone deserves to be there more than Karlsson to represent the Sens.

Also, a question: Schenn over Tarasenko?
The only reason Carey Price is an All-Star this year.

Schenn over Tarasenkshow because Brayden has had a helluva year and probably won't have as many chances to make the all star game as Vlad.

Heh. I suppose so. He's been decent enough recently, but the fact that his name is Carey Price and he's a Hab probably helped more.

I figured as much. I've been really surprised by what he and Sean Couturier have put up. I actually might have picked Couturier over Giroux for the Flyers rep.

Montreal also really didn't have anyone else worthy of going. Not a single player over 25 points, one player with more than 11 goals (Gallagher), and not a single player with more than 15 assists. Yikes.
