> discussion about Glen Sather loading the All-Star team with Oilers

Since I don't agree with the fans voting for the All-Star team, I might
be a little biased here, but, who cares.

If we are going to see the fans picking the starting team, why not have
the writers or the other coaches pick the remaining team members.  In
this way, a majority of the All-Stars would be picked properly, with
'experts' doing the picking.  It prevents any coach from stacking his
team with players from his team, and removes the problem of having the
All-Star team being the result of a popularity contest.

Really, the fans shouldn't pick the teams, and I don't watch the All-Star
games when they do.
