Way to vote, fans!

[SabreEleven]

It hurt Vanek when they changed the voting. When I first voted they let you do 3 forwards and a write-in. Then they changed it to 2 forwards and a write-in. I stopped voting for Vanek after that. Anbody else notice that to.

NEW YORK -- It'll be Sid the Kid and the Sabres in the NHL All-Star Game.

Is Max's total a typo?

[Mitchy moo]

Is Max's total a typo?

It looks that way and X /Y looks messed up as well. I guess if it involves hockey it involves alcohol as well.

[YardRat]

I'm guessing Max is 469, not 496.

[Mitchy moo]

The Sabres are the first team to place three players in an All-Star starting lineup since fans got the vote. They will be able to show off the standouts who carried them to the top mark in the East this season after Buffalo fell a win short of the Stanley Cup finals a year ago.

:dance: :dance: :dance:
