Basically, his own team is saying.

Step away from the All-Star game.

Because as a kid, I watched all the All-Star games.

It was so fun to watch, and I would dream to be in it.

So yeah.

And so John ends up writing a statement that reads, quote, it's nice to be thought of by all of the fans.

And for that, I am truly flattered and grateful.

And while I would love to experience an all-star game, I think a few of my teammates are a bit more deserving of a vote.

And so it's sort of like I would go if I get voted, but there's other people who deserve it more.

I said, yeah, sure, send it out.

I wasn't totally on board with it, but I just wanted to appease the higher-ups to hopefully help them.

But even after that, it was still John Scott, number one vote-getter.

Oh, by far, yeah.

It's funny, they stopped showing how many votes the players were getting.

They took that option off the website because I think I was ahead by so many.

It's like you broke the website.

Yeah.

And so they, they took that away and then the NHL, they really tried to strong arm me.

Oh yeah.

What happened there?
