Montreal Canadian fans: Passionate or making a mockery of all-star voting?

Don't know if anyone saw this, but I was having a look at the current NHL All-star voting results and unless you're a Montreal Canadian fan you might be a little disappointed with what the Eastern Conference starting lineup will probably be.
For forwards, Habs Kovalev, Tanguay and Koivu all have at least twice as many votes as the next player (Crosby)
On defense, Markov and Komisarek are about triple the next defenceman
And in goal, Carey Price is quadruple the next

One could make a fairly good argument that there's a little something going on behind the scenes to rack up that many votes.
The game of course will be in Montreal in the New Year.
