Hi Devils fans! I hope this post is allowed here! I’m a friendly Flames fan coming to you to entreat you to spare a [vote for Blake Coleman](https://allstarfanvote.nhl.com/?role=skater&filter_by=skaters) in your All-Star ballots. I’ll make it short!
**Why should you care as a Devils fan?** Coleman is always extremely vocal about how much he loved his time playing for the Devils:
>“There is nothing but really good memories for me in Jersey,” Coleman told us during his pregame media availability before making his return to the Rock. “They drafted me, my first pro team, my first pro experience, and we made the playoffs my first full year there.” \[[Source](https://pucksandpitchforks.com/2021/10/30/new-jersey-devils-pickles-pals-blake-coleman-returns-to-the-rock/)\]
Coleman has been an absolute workhorse for all of the teams that he’s played for and I think you guys all know how much he appreciated his time in New Jersey.
**Why is this the year for Coleman?** It has gone under the radar, but Coleman is having an unreal season for the Flames.
* Leads the team in goals with 15
* Leads the team in points with 29
* Has an unreal **four shorthanded goals** and 1 powerplay goal, and 3 game winners
* Although the Flames have a -4 goal differential, **Coleman is +17** on the season, so far
All while only averaging 16:26 TOI per game.
**Blake Coleman is also a great choice if you’re an American hockey fan.** Beyond his great play this year, Coleman is a hard worker and a great ambassador for the game. He’s the first “Texas-trained” (i.e. born and raised) player in the NHL to score 100 goals in the NHL. He’s also the first born-and-raised player from Texas to win the Stanley Cup.
Finally, **Coleman has a championship pedigree**. I think Coleman is a great player, but I’m not entreating you on behalf of any long-shot long-time third liner. Coleman is a Stanley Cup winner ( scoring the Lightning’s second goal of Game 6 in the 2020 cup finals) and one of the gritty, hard working, consistent players that win teams championships.
So, if you happen to have a spare All-Star vote, please consider using it on Coleman! I know it is a long shot, but I think he at least deserves the votes!

I didnt realize how good a year hes having. Absolutely getting my vote.
Already there, my friend. Was honestly shocked he wasn’t your rep because he’s having a year.
Want to help us out with Jesper Bratt? Definitely better than half the reps in already
Had me at the pic with Yegor
Pickles really is a shorthanded machine. I miss it.
