Your Non-Partisan 2015 All-Star Game Voter Guide
Election time can be confusing and annoying. So many people trying to bribe you for your vote. So little real information about where the candidates stand on the issues that matter most. We know PK Subban is a talented defenseman, but how does he feel about nuclear disarmament? Would Ovechkin shake your hand and kiss your baby, if given the opportunity? Luckily we at What’s Icing have your back, with the ultimate All-Star voters guide.
Some of these ballots may not strictly follow the three forwards, two defensemen, one goalie model the NHL is forcing on us. Some may or may not have players who aren’t currently on an NHL roster or perhaps were never on an NHL roster. But I’m sure you won’t let that stand in your way. Fight the man. Buck the system. Maybe hack the website or something? I believe in you.
So, without further ado: Your ASG voters guide, helpfully organized by sample ballots depending on what matters most to you.
