Pens fans get Crosby into East's Starting Lineup
This morning, Sidney Crosby overtook Alex Tanguay for 3rd place amongst forwards, breaking up the All-Montreal Canadien Eastern All Star starting lineup for the first time since voting began last month. Not coincidentally, the other Penguins on the ballot are the runners-up at every position, including Sergei Gonchar and Ryan Whitney, who will not be allowed to participate under the NHL's new Rory Fitzpatrick inspired 20 game rule, which may also force Montreal rearguard Mike Komisarek off the starting lineup as well.
Inexplicably, Montreal RW Alex Kovalev leads Montreal forwards at the moment, despite having a subpar season and currently going through the longest goal drought of his NHL career.

EDIT: If this story is accurate, Crosby has received about 100,000 votes in the past 13 hours, which has to be seen as highly suspicious.
