Don't Panic But There Is A Write In Option For All Star Fan Voting

By -

NHL All Star Fan voting opened today and apparently there is a write in option for Team Captain.

 This should go over well.

 For Montreal they have Domi and Drouin listed as possible captains.  I would have thrown Tatarrrrrrrr in there, but I'm sure there will be huge Twitter push for him anyway.  

 So at this point I'm left wondering who is the most ridiculous captains we can vote for this time around? 

 Atlantic Division:

 Jonathan Ericsson

 He's played his whole career with the Detroit Red Wings and won a cup with them in 2008.  He's 34 and with just 8 games under his belt this year only has 1 point.  A fitting send off would be to give this guy the captaincy in the Atlantic!

 Metro Division:

 Drew Stafford

 This guy had a couple great season with the Sabres at the turn of the decade.  He was given a PTO this year and has been playing with the basement dwelling NJ Devils.  At 33 he's a senior citizen in this league.  He deserves the captaincy in the Metro!

 Central Division 

 Carl Gunnarsson

 Canadian fans living in TO territory recognize this Swede.  For someone drafted in the 7th round he has carved out quite the career for himself.  Over 500 games played for any player is quite the accomplishment.  Give this guy the C this winter!

 Pacific Division

 Dion Phaneuf

 This is the big one.  This guy has carved out nearly 1000 NHL games.  That's hall of fame territory for most, and with almost 500 points he will probably get in someday.  This is the big one.  This is the one I would love to see.  

 Phaneuf mic'd up is always gold, but I want a write in for this guy.  He's at the tail end of his career and I think his teammates would rally around this pick.  It would be both a joke and great theater for all.

We are fucked

As my friend AngryHabsFan eluded to already, yesterday was the end of the world as we know it for Sens fans. Matt Cooke's skate caught Karlsson in the Achilles tendon last night on a scuffle in the corner. First off don't even think that this was Matt Cooke being a dirty player and that he did this on purpose. It was just one of those freak plays that happen. No timeline has been given yet for Karlsson's return but I think its safe to say that he won't be back this season. Hopefully he can return from this injury and still be a great player. We already have Michalek playing on robotic knees so hopefully EK can get a hold of Milo's doctor. Speaking of Michalek he also disappeared before the game last night with a mysterious undisclosed injury. No word on what exactly is the extent of his injury yet. So without Spezza, Michalek, Karlsson and Jared Cowen I think its safe to say we are fucked and need to focus on shipping out Gonchar at the deadline and going

LOSER Tonight and this afternoon will be an outright cluster&@$^.  I can't even begin to try to calculate who we are going to end up playing in the first round.  If we lose tonight it will be the Leafs, simple as that.  If we win and Boston loses their game to Washington then things will get interesting tomorrow night in the finale game of Ottawa vs Boston.  So basically win for drama and lose to play the Leafs.   My heart says lose and sweep the Leafs out in the first round for what would be revenge for every Saturday night game of my childhood living in Ontario.  My sensible self says win and end up playing an easier team seeded way lower than us.  It is going to be an interesting 40 hours ahead.  Oh, and if we draw the Sens in the first round I'd be all over some tickets, so kinda hoping for that too. Gametime is 7PM on CBC. Go Habs Go!
