All Star Snub Follow up

1) For those who missed it the first time, we invite our readers to peruse the post written by ANTZMARCHING concerning the apparent All Star snubbing of Jaromir Jagr:

2) A follow up that we find interesting is the fact that apparently fellow team mate and All Star Brendan Shanahan was named captain of the Eastern All stars. Another jab at JJ for sure. Add that to the fact that Shanahan has a full 13 points fewer than JJ, AND is a minus 6 to Jagr's + 13.
3) Earlier this season the Ranger captain was over looked once again in favor of his North American born team mate when the inaugural Leadership award was dispensed by Mark Messier in favor of Shanahan causing the seeds of dissension that had been simmering between the two since training camp to become more out in the open. The pouting that Antz alluded to in his post is sure to now intensify further. Hindering Ranger playoff aspirations. Stay tuned as this may get interesting

a. Appreciate the props here, Faux... It has become blatantly apparent that there IS disharmony in Ranger-land... It remains interesting to me how this in-house feud has gone virtually unnoticed/ignored in NHL circles...

b. Jags has this reputation of pouting or dogging it, and I do not understand how the Ranger brass felt that Shanny's BIAS popularity could lead to a positive outcome... JJ requires coddling, not disrespect... New York will reap what it has sewn, and this will not translate into any kind of success on the ice...

c. Perhaps the signing of Marty Straka was a way to ease some of the tensions...

1) Is that phrase:" THIS IS THE WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" some kind of middle school slang? We're not familiar with it.
2) As for the coherent part of your post; probably quite a few folks care. Like him/it or not, he is a future Hall of Famer playing in the biggest NHL market in the U.S.

1) Sad when one has to resort to hiding behind fictitious bog names(stealing ours) to make their point
2) I will leave the above post intact as a reminder that there some people out there with way too much time on their hands! LOL
3) Anyone who has been a regular reader to this site could easily detect it as the fraud that it is.
4) Thank you to Jintzie from N. Y. for alerting us of the imposter.

I know this is not hockey related but wanted to send all of my and my tribe's best wishes for the speedy recovery of fellow Oklahoman Bobby Murcer as he battles brain cancer

Chief, your sentiments for Mr. Murcer have been noted... We here at Faux are saddened by the latest news, and we pray for Bobby's recovery...

And, a special thanks goes out to Jintzie for his diligence in this matter - keep up the good work, Buddy... Please send my regards to Teresa, Anita, Maryann, and Vinny...
