Fans have selected four Senator players to start in the NHL All-Star game on January 29th. Jason Spezza, Daniel Alfredsson, Erik Karlsson and Milan Michalek will start alongside Dion Phaneuf of the Maple Leafs and Boston's Tim Thomas. Talk about ballot stuffing! Karlsson is deserving and a case can be made for Spezza making the team but not starting. But we don't see how Michalek beats out Phil Kessel and others. Alfredsson should play in the game as a an honorary captain but not as a starter. Well that's what happens when you let the fans vote. Canadian cities with large fan bases will determine who gets to start.
