heh. This is great stuff. Rory is aware of the campaign to get him elected to the All Star Game.

Fitzpatrick said he's getting a kick out of the campaign since he checked the site after hearing about it a few days ago from friends and family.

"I've been getting e-mails and calls from people back home. Someone said there were signs in Edmonton the other night," Fitzpatrick said. "People put a lot of time into it. You have to give credit to the people who put it all together. They did a great job. It's pretty funny.

"If I'm going to get in, I'm going to need a lot of help, that's for sure."

Rory Fitzpatrick has been called a lot of things around these parts. But NHL All-Star?

A facetious Web site, www.VoteforRory.com, is trying to land the scorned former Sabres defenseman into the All-Star game, and the jokers are making an impact in the Western Conference balloting - even though the Vancouver Canuck has yet to score a point.

When the NHL on Wednesday released its weekly voting update, Fitzpatrick was the 12th most popular defenseman with 31,310 write-in votes, putting him ahead of Mathieu Schneider.

Fitzpatrick was the only Western Conference write-in candidate listed. The Irondequoit native had more votes than goalie Thomas Vokoun and forwards Keith Tkachuk, Doug Weight and Ladislav Nagy.
