Sidney Crosby Passes Jagr For All-Star Vote Record

This isn't real news.

Sure, current leading vote-getter Sidney Crosby DID break Jaromir Jagr's record for single season all-star votes set way back in 2000.

Jagr finished that voting session with 1,020,736 votes.

But, things are different these days.

The exclusivity of internet-only voting has left the elderly hockey fan out in the cold. Grandparents simply don't go to NHL.com to vote. Just kidding about the elderly fan thing, but seriously the fact that you can only vote on the internet gives net nerds like myself an advantage.

Online communities have united people with similar interests. Years ago, chat rooms were all the rage. These days people go to blogs written by regular people (like me!) who like the same things they like and post comments, which builds a 'we' environment. It's like the democrats having unions on their side. These people can vote in blocks again and again. Remember, there is no limit on how many times you can vote. Net nerds unite!

So, congratulations Sid. You earned it.

Jagr sucks.
