The NHL cover vote is rigged just like every cover vote ! How can Lundqvist lose against Rinne ? I have no idea...

*I meant loss instead of lose

Either Nashville's 3 fans voted a million times each, or this is rigged. Don't get me wrong, I love Rinne. I voted for him. But there is no way Nashville fans outweighed New York fans.

The last I saw, yesterday morning, Datsyuk was up 10k to only 2k for Tavares. Wtf happened?

Atta' boy Pekka! I guess Ranger fans were too busy watching their series to vote. Nashville fans had plenty of time to stuff the ballot box since their team was already eliminated.

Giroux or Rinne better win, but I have a feeling it's gonna come down to Malkin and Tavares with Malkin taking the cover.
