Canadiens' goalie Carey Price and Flyers' Sergei Bobrovsky are currently 1-2 in the fan voting for the NHL all star game. Given the way they've played this season and the excitement in the fanbases over the young goalies, that's not a huge shock. What is surprising is that they lead the voting despite not even being listed on the ballot.
↵That means fans all over the NHL are writing in their names. Not bad for a guy that even the Flyers players didn't know existed before the season.
↵"I didn't know who he was in camp," said teammate Sean O'Donnell, but it didn't take long for the rest of the League to figure it out. Flyers fans desperate for a young goaltender they can call their own already have began chanting "Bob" after every save at the Wells Fargo Center. They've also cast 116,725 votes for him for the All-Star Game, making him the leading rookie vote-getter by a wide margin.↵
