NHL All-Star Balloting Gone Haywire?
I just checked the NHL All Star Balloting results and found that Sidney Crosby is now in the lead amongst Eastern Conference forwards. In fact, he is leading by over 25,000 votes. WTF?! How in the hell did that happen? Don’t get me wrong, all things being equal I would have suspected that one of…
