He got screwed by Keith making it. He has more than twice the points of Keith and a higher +/- as well.
Maybe they took into account that being paired with Lidstrom can help out a lot in that department.Quote:

So? Did they not take Jagr when he played with Mario? Should Pavel not make it because he plays with Hank a lot?Quote:

I was just throwing the idea out there. I think he deserved to make it.
do they do the baseball rule of 1 guy from every team? maybe that is why (and also why Legace made it)
Not that I know of. I've never heard about them doing that before. I thought there were 3 goalies per side, the fans voted in Luongo but they have Legace, Osgood, and Nabakov listed.
Luongo withdrew to spend time with his pregnant wife. I'm not sure how the starter is decided now. Babcock said he didn't know if it was his choice.
I can respect that. I'd like to think I'd go with that option if I were him. It's the classy move.
