Crabby, the mascot for the Blue Crabs, holds up a sign that reads: Vote for RJ!
Jake Campbell: Great guy. Super supportive teammate. He deserves the chance to represent the Crabs.
Jordan Foster, holding up a picture of Ryan: Vote!
Vladislav Voronin: He’s very good. Best forward on the PK. I think last game he blocked more shots than I did.
Tomas Novotny: Vote for that handsome son of a gun!
Pavel Vlasic: One of the best two-way forwards in the league. It’s a relief when he’s on the ice, because I know my job just got easier.
Pierre Lauren: Vote for RJ! Votez pour RJ!
Lars Nilsson: Vote for Ryan or I won’t score any more goals. (sounds of laughter in the background) Why are you laughing? I’m serious.

I spoke with Lars Nilsson about the All Star game. Read on to find out ten reasons he thinks you should vote for RJ Russell in the Fan Vote. #NHLAllStarFanVote #VoteForRJ #RJRussellAllStar #crabcrew
1) He’s having a career high year
2) He’s top ten in face-off wins league-wide
3) He’s helped the Crabs PK unit kill 82% of their penalties this season
4) He’s a supportive teammate whose positivity is contagious
5) He cares about fans: he never turns down autographs, pictures, or interviews
6) He’s never been to an All Star game and should get a shot
7) He played for Team USA in Juniors, won the Calder Cup his rookie year, and Nilsson has no doubt he’ll be part of a Stanley Cup-winning team
8) He volunteers at local youth hockey organizations to help develop the sport in Maryland
9) He’s got hands: pulled off a Michigan and can deke through the best of them, let him prove it
10) He and Lars would make a great duo representing the Crabs
