With Jimmy Howard Troy Polamalu T Shirts and to bow out of the All-Star game due to injury, the NHL needed two replacements in the crease. Thursday those picks were made the Penguins' Marc-Andre Fleury and the Islanders' Jaroslav Halak.The two got in over three other highly regarded candidates (Braden Holtby, Henrik Lundqvist and Craig Anderson)which means there will likely by a fair bit of grumbling by those fanbases. Some of it will be deserved.MORE: | Not all of it, though, especially in the case of Fleury. As Mason Rudolph Jersey , if you look past the name, its hard to argue against Fleurys merits. Detractors may point out his excellent .928 overall save percentage is buoyed by .934 save percentage while shorthanded, but the All-Star game is about what players have done, not what they are going to do in the future.In other words, its perfectly reasonable to say Fleury is a deserving All-Star and also say his numbers will regre s in the second half.Halak is le s of a clear-cut selection.

Holtby has played more games and has posted a better save percentage (.924 overall and .932 at even strength). Pressley Harvin III Jersey Anderson has played in few contests, 27, but his rate numbers are on par with Holtbys.Halaks numbers are more in line with his fellow New York metropolitan area rivals, Lundqvist (.917 overall, .932 at even-strength) and Cory Schneider (.919 overall, .933 at even-strength). Its not a surprise to see Schneider pa sed over, given , but Lundqvist, given his name, is a bit of a shock.Still, its hard to T.J. Watt Jersey say Lundqvist was snubbed when Holtby and Anderson had better cases. More than likely, Halak is beingrewarded for his part in Pittsburgh Steelers Sleepwear Underwear the . Its unfortunate for those who mi sed out, especially Holtby, who has been superior in most metrics. But for what its worth, Halak is a nice story considering where he was in the spring of last yearUnle s youre a Capitals fan. Given what happened in the 2010 playoffs, last spring and now the Holtby snub, theyd probably be pretty pleased if they never heard Halaks name again. |
