It's official.
"Vancouver defenseman Rory Fitzpatrick fell 23,000 votes short of a starting berth, but did receive a record tally for write-in candidates and finished third among Western Conference defensemen with 550,177 votes." NHL.com
We were close...
Scott Niedermayer, ANA 591,657 Nicklas Lidstrom, DET 573,069 Rory Fitzpatrick *, VAN 550,177

Let's say Niedermayer and Lidstrom would go missing, does Rory start? If so, we have some work to do.

So why isn't Rory a reserve? He has the votes.
Plus, is anyone thinking this vote is rigged?

Reserves don't go by votes. The coaches pick them (at least in baseball, I don't know about hockey or basketball or football)

Only the top 2 go, the reserves are chosen by I think the GMs.

Yeah. Even if he didn't get in, I think the NHL will take something away from this to make sure we don't have the ability to do this next year. They narrowly avoided what would have been a very uncomfortable situation for them.

What is this? Neidermayer's not even playing in the All-Star game due to injury?
I feel sincerely cheated.

The NHL does not have the fan support to take away any fan vote. That is just suicide for them.
