The All-Star Game is a joke.

It's always been a joke, it will always be a joke.

I have cast maybe ten ballots, all of them containing my token write-ins for Marek Malik. I've never been a huge fan of the All-Star Game (or any All-Star Game, for that matter), because it's simply an exercise in whose fans are better at ballot-stuffing, nothing more--at best, it's a glorified C-league game. No checking, no physicality, nothing that makes hockey great.

What's the fun in that?

Whatever--I'll be working that weekend, but I'm not going to sweat it cos I know that as usual I won't be missing a damn thing.
