Hey guys - there's an internet fad happening in Vancouver (and a few other websites) right now where a bunch of the fans are trying to get one of the Canucks worst defenseman into the NHL All-Star game. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9kvV2LTRNbQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9kvV2LTRNbQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> Rory Fitzpatrick might not be amazing at hockey, but his votes could cure cancer. He is probably the first ever NHL player to be listed on the vote receiving leader board who is a WRITE-IN candidate as listed here: http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?articleid=284150&page=NewsPage&service=page Here is the VoteForRory.com fansite: http://www.voteforrory.com/ And the thread that started it all: http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=316157 So - the basic idea is that the NHL is allowing as many votes as you want this year - so people have decided to take advantage of this idea and stuff the ballots for a no-namer, however, you can only help him if you remember to NOT VOTE FOR Niedermayer/Pronger/Lidstrom (the expected all-stars)! All you have to do is make your picks and then press back and make them again, then back and again etc... ----- Click here to Vote for Rory Fitzpatrick as a Western write-in vote: USA: http://www.nhl.com/asfb/app?service=direct&page=Home&component=localeSelector&locale=en-us Canada: http://www.nhl.com/asfb/app?service=direct&page=Home&component=localeSelector&locale=en-ca
This will be a LOT more difficult than FT's QB. I either voted for him a dozen times on none at all. I suspect none. What kind of crappy system makes you vote for ALL positions before accepting a vote?
bnb. I definitely voted. CANUCK sounds like another insult, and he's going to DUCKING FALLAS... "Why not" - fake Verizon Wireless dude from the commercial.
Swoly-- i edited my post. It was FT's QB -- not yours. Don't know why I messed that up?? Futbol. Football. I don't know. Los Fresnos -- sort of mexican?? This whole Fitzpatrick and All Star in the same post must have had me rattled. You guys have no idea how messed up this is... I'd better vote again.
No problem, bnb. I saw it for a minute and thought you meant voting DAVID CARR into the Pro Bowl ... which does NOT sound bad at all since so many people here want him OUT of the TEXANS... ...
HAHAHA!!! I couldn't believe you brought the campaign to Clutchfans... So far he is #12 with 31,310 votes if you don't want to click on the link provided by 3814
How do you find the totals? I looked everywhere on that nhl.com site but there's so much happening on it... it's almost as BAD as nba.com
So yeah, the update for anyone that cares. This thing really seems to be picking up steam and he's now 5th in defensemen voting. He needs to be top 2 to get to the all-star game. http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app?articleid=284682&page=NewsPage&service=page
