Drew Doughty, Teemu Selanne lead the local teams in NHL All-Star voting | The Fabulous Forum | Los Angeles Times

The overall vote leader in the NHL's All-Star balloting is no surprise:Sidney Crosbyof the Pittsburgh Penguins. After two weeks of online voting, he now has 218,791 votes. 

The nicest surprise? The guy who jumped up to second place while no one was looking. That would be Montreal Canadiens goalieCarey Price,whose 145,726 votes are the most among write-in candidates. That's right.Write-in.Price has been outstanding in goal so far this season.

Tampa Bay's scoring machineSteven Stamkos is third with 141,818 votes. More than 6 million votes have been cast through last weekend.

But what about the Kings and Ducks?

Teemu Selanneis doing the best among Ducks with 25,545 votes.Ryan Getzlaf,Bobby RyanandCorey Perryaren't far behind him, though. Noteworthy write-in totals: goaltenderJonas Hillerhas 9,791,Lubomir Visnovsky7,137 andCam Fowler6,938.

The Kings?

Drew Doughtyis leading the way with 94,606.Anze Kopitarhas 31,923, while the very deservingRyan Smithhas 16,465. Noteworthy is team scoring leaderJustin Williamsas a write-in candidate with 8,486.Jonathan Quickcomes in ninth among goaltenders with 40,140, while defensemanJack Johnsonhas 12,871 write-in votes.

But it really makes you wonder what is going on when former Kings playerSean Avery(he currently ranks third in the league for penalty minutes) of the New York Rangers has 38,551 write-in votes. Even as a joke, this isn't funny.

Through Jan. 3, NHL fans will be able to select up to six players by position -- three forwards, two defensemen and one goaltender -– without regard to the conference in which their teams play.

As part of a new format for the 2011 All-Star game, the three forwards, two defensemen and goalie with the most votes will be named first NHL All-Stars.Want to vote? Click here.Meanwhile, here are
