All Star Game voting is open. Go here and vote for JvR or I'll find you and force feed you spaghetti casserole. Also please vote Reimernier as they could really use a romantic getaway to... Columbus? On second thought, vote for Pavelec.

And now a message from our sponsor.

Without David Clarkson, this team would really stink. We wouldn't have our water bottles in our jeering hockey rink. We wouldn't have bad tattoos, or rippling six-packs . It's not Clarkson's fault that the team collapsed.

Clarkson: if you we're nominated for the All-Star game, he'd vote for you! Paid for by the David Clarkson for All-Star Game All-Star committee.
