All-Star voting - Votes are in; Crosby, Malkin finish 1-2

[Matthew Monstar]

It would be nice if the nhl voting ballot was actually working.. Maybe I could vote for Malkin who actually deserves to be a starter..

Maybe Montreal had first dibs for a couple days, to get a head start on the voting.. Im serious.....This is screwy

[Soon5one4]

It's working!

OH HAI I FIXXD UR VOTING

Many people aren't voting because you have to register. I gave a fake e-mail. Last years was so easy, all you had to do was go and click a radio button. This is stupid, but as long as the dumb marketing is paying for the league to stay open, I won't complain.

All Star Game = Pointless

Oh you can just give a fake email you don't have to confirm the vote or anything? Nice. I'll vote now then.

[Digitalgypsy66]

OK, so we need a programmer to write a script to vote in Penguins players. The one above only works with Habs players on the Canadian NHL Fan Balloting site.

[PensFanInDC]

I dont think Sid or Geno really care about being voted to first team. Thy will both be there along with Fleury.

Semin-Crosby-Ovechkin

Holy Shnikees...

[PensFanInDC]

How do they pick the coaches?

[Doogs]

On Eklund's site he posted a blog encouraging people to write in Tim Thomas.

[Angle]

We'd start a Scuderi campaign, but he's on Secret Service duty during the All-Star Break.

hahahaha. That's a great site. http://www.thepensblog.com/

It's so great that the NHL set up this new fancy website with log-ins to keep people from making bots and rigging the voting---oh wait, what?

The sad thing is, Habs fans are going to cry like babies when all those bot votes get disqualified. It'll be that evil little Gary Bettman, out to get them again.

Seems easy enough. I'll look up the player numbers later.

The Habs:
var players = Array('8459442','8458529','8467338','8469460','8467496','8471679');

The Pens:
TBD

[AlexPKeaton]

LOL@ Pensblog!!!!!!!!

Since their votes only count as .8 of a vote compared to 1 American vote,
they've actually voted more than what's seen above.

[71crush]

I KNEW the Habs fans were cheating somehow!! Pathetic.

Players in the array are Sid, Geno, The Superstar, Orpik, Letang, and Fleury

Players 7-12, which I believe is split for the Western conference, are as follows:

George Parros, Jared Boll, Ben Eager, Jim Vandermeer, Mike Commodore, Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers

A 22k swing in votes in less than 3 hrs? Sid doesn't even have that many overall.

I hope to come back from lunch and see that the "big 3" have 46 votes each.

Should we change the URL to fanballot... instead of ca.fanballot...Or can U.S. residents vote at either site?

[darkstar57]

i say be carfeful with the bot, only because the NHL is going to look at those numbers and realize what is going on, so we don't want our guys losing votes because we used a bot too

[PensBeerGeek]

Wow, that has to be one of the worst CAPTCHA implementations I've ever seen (absolutely no distortion of the letters whatsoever)....why even bother?

[71crush]

Yeah, someone commented on pensblog that the NHL has already done something to stop the spamming.

[penny lane]

want to see geno~sid~ ilya with another line of AO ~ mystery guest ~ A Semin
with 1/14 CAP rematch before the all star game, could be interesting.

Last year Ilya K wasn't even named to the game.

Game in Montreal, I expect Sid to get booed. It's a sign of respect, right?
