Why would you vote for Ovechkin and Crosby when you KNOW they're going to be there no matter what. Personally I think Ovechkin is the best player in the NHL but I still voted for Kovalev because I think he can do some sick stuff in the SuperSkills competition. The fans get to put in 10 people and the other 30+ you know are going to be the big name usual suspects. The only guy I don't see as an all-star on that starting lineup is Komisarek. He's a great defenceman and makes a team a LOT stronger with his presence but his physical defensive style of play isn't really suitable for an all-star game.
