Counterstrike

As you may or may not know, Montreal Canadiens fans have made a concerted effort to get their precious favorites into the all-star game by stuffing the NHL's virtual ballot boxes.

This doesn't sit well with many of their Eastern Conferences adversaries. Pens fans in particular seemed the most rankled.

As such, the venerable Pensblog emailed me recently, asking if Flames fans could get involved in an alliance to counter-act the en masse voting by the Canadiens faithful. The deal is: vote for Alexander Ovechkin in EC and they, in turn, will try to get Iginla into the game ahead of Marian Hossa.

I dont talk much about the all-star game stuff around here because I consider it pretty much irrelevant. However, this sounds like one of the few ways to inject some fun into the proceedings. So have at it Flames fans.

Go here to vote.
