The movement is afoot. The fans of Vancouver Canuck defencemen Rory Fitzpatrick have been promoting for him to start in the NHL All Star game and the young defender has over 400,000 votes and is kicking some butt in the balloting, behind only Scott Neidermeyer by about 20,000 votes.
He is a write in name, so this total is quite amazing.
But tonight I heard that Wayne Gretzky, the elitist that he is, is asking the league to intervene to keep Fitzpatrick from playing.
I am usually up for the top players showing up, but it really irks me that the Great One would try to undermine the support this player has received.
Wayne was a great hockey player. The best. But when it comes to democracy, he needs to take a valium. Heck, he can take two, they’re small.
I say Vote For Rory just to teach Wayne a lesson.
You can go to the nhl.com website, click All Star Ballot on the left hand side, then click Canada, and choose Rory Fitzpatrick from the Write In Western Conference List below the main selections.
