kad vec pricamo o nagradama, jucer na dodjeli objavljeno da je Claude Giroux na coveru NHL 13ice :D

2011-12 NHL First All-Star Team
		GP	W	L	OT	GAA	SV%	SO
G	Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers	62	39	18	5	1.97	.930	8
		GP	Mins.	G	A	Pts
D	Erik Karlsson, Ottawa Senators	81	25:19	19	59	78
D	Shea Weber, Nashville Predators	78	26:09	19	30	49
C	Evgeni Malkin, Pittsburgh Penguins	75	21:01	50	50	109
RW	James Neal, Pittsburgh Penguins	80	19:08	40	41	81
LW	Ilya Kovalchuk, New Jersey Devils	77	24:26	37	46	83

2011-12 NHL Second All-Star Team
		GP	W	L	OT	GAA	SV%	SO
G	Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles Kings	69	35	21	13	1.95	.929	10
		GP	Mins.	G	A	Pts
D	Zdeno Chara, Boston Bruins	79	25:00	12	40	52
D	Alex Pietrangelo, St. Louis Blues	81	24:43	12	39	51
C	Steven Stamkos, Tampa Bay Lightning	82	22:01	60	37	97
RW	Marian Gaborik, New York Rangers	82	19:30	41	35	76
LW	Ray Whitney, Phoenix Coyotes	82	18:38	24	53	77

Bilo je malih kontroverzi u glasanju, tako je Nealu nedostajalo samo par glasova da bude izabran i u 2. momčad na LW, Kovalchuk na RW, a Giroux je završio kao 3. u glasanju na poziciji centra i desnog krila.

I još mali osvrt na Norris. Razumijem da je Karlsson prvi branič među top 10 strijelaca nakon Leetcha 92. godine i da je teško zanemariti ofenzivnu razliku između njega i ostalih, ali ne slažem se da trofej ide u ruke braniča koji praktički nije ni igrao na penalty killu.

Weber je ova zadnja dva Norrisa izgubio za 20 glasova (lani za 8, ove godine za 12).

Istina, bez imalo sumnje bi prije uzeo Webera nego Karlssona ne nekakvom fantasy picku.

Izasao raspored za iducu sezonu koga zanima...
