Ovi not going to the All Star Game
justwincaps:
Could care less that Ovie isn't there because I don't watch that charade and I'd rather him rest up for a Cup run anyway.
Saw on RMNB there's a push to get Backstrom in as "the last man in" fan vote. I'd rather he didn't go as well.
Let 'em both skip the All-Star game and be off from after the Toronto game on 1/23 and not come back until the 2/3 game against Boston. That's a nice break for two of our aging superstars.

I always felt that the all-star game in any sport was just a pointless money grabbing charade. IMO you should simply name the league all-stars and be done with it. FFS, I have yet to watch any all-star game where the players actually played to win, and who can blame them. It's meaningless! Why bother?
So Ovie will get a longer rest, including the additional rest of a one game suspension. Good for him.
ETA
LOL. It seems after reading through the rest of the posts here that many share my opinion, or I share theirs about the all-star charade game.

Good for Ovi. Seems to be thinking about team and his health rather than stupid ASG (which I'm sure he enjoys)
Makes me wonder if he is nursing something though.
So is Nicky going?

I wonder whether the team originated this idea and brought it up with Ovie. I think it is a very wise decision.
