First, four of the top 10 Eastern vote-getters are from the all-star game host Ottawa Senators—Karlsson, Alfredsson (yeah, he’s having a big year), Spezza and Michalek.

Second, on his first day back in uniform, Skid Crosby got 14,000 votes to vault into ninth place among forwards.

Third (and this doesn’t qualify as idiocy) Dan Girardi (37,836) is second among write-in ballot vote-getters behind Tyler Seguin (41,443).
