2. Written, up to 4 TPE - Shiny Grab Bag: Pick up to 4 topics related to the All Star Game to write about! Each topic is worth 1 TPE. Each answer must be 50+ words.

a. The goal scoring race this season ended in a tie between Evil Allbran and Lias Ekholm-Gunnarsson, each potting a phenomenal 60 goals. They'll be lining up on opposite sides of the faceoff dot this all star game. Which of our league's best scorers would you rather have and why?

b. Borje Samuelsson lead all the league's defensemen in points this season with an incredible statline of 22-59-81 in 66 games played. However, the best defensive defenseman in this all star game is Adelie de Pingu, who put up 16-40-56 in the same number of games played while still recording the best average defensive performance of anyone who made primetime. Which of these defensemen will have a better showing this weekend and why?

c. The eastern conference will be lining up in front of netminders Casey Fantoben and Brick Wall, while the west will play in front of Justin Time and Jon St. Ark. Which team should be more comfortable with their backstop tandem? Why?

d. Why should YOUR player have made the all star game, and why is this such an egregious snub? (If your player did make the all star game, argue for one of your teammates who didn't instead!)

a. I would rather have Lias Ekholm-Gunnarsson because of they are younger compared to Evil Allbran (S63 vs S60) so they will have the TPE advantage compared to them when regression hits. Liam now has had two campaigns with 125+ points and should be around 90-100 points for a few more seasons depending on the direction WPG goes and how the other teams in the Central division go as well.

b. My answer definitely has no bias involved, but I will choose my syndicate

teammate Adelie de Pengu for the better showing in the all-star game. I have gotten to see how good Pengu is ever since joining the Chicago syndicate

and what a menacing presence they have on the blue line. Pengu will instill fear on the opposing Eastern all-stars.

c. After seeing how the playoffs turned out, the edge in net will have to go to the Eastern conference goalie tandem of Casey Fantoben and Brick Wall. These two faced off in the quarter finals where Fantoben stole the show and came out on top and eventually was able to hoist the challenge cup with his Stampede

teammates. This was Fantoben's playoffs so my edge goes to the East.

d. If TPE was a factor for all-star invitation, then Ben Jammin should have been included since he was the top TPE defensemen in the league for S71. He also set a career best with 49 points and led his team on +/- with 30 this regular season. But the main reason Ben Jammin should have been invited was that he could've thrown the most amazing music set for the all-star game and help the SHL go viral.

Which player NOT on your own team are you most excited to see in action? Do you finally get the chance to cheer on a hated rival's star player as they represent your conference? Have you been tormented by a young player on a rebuilder that hasn't yet made their mark on teams out-of-conference?

The player that is not on my team that I'm looking forward to seeing in the all-star game would have to be Baltimore Platoon

Erik Bergmark. He should be the favourite for rookie of the year as he produced an impressive 79 points for his team and even leading his team in points overall. But more impressively he scored 47 goals as well. Interestingly though, Erik only had 3 powerplay points but those numbers should rise as Baltimore looks to get out of their rebuild and be more competitive. I have gotten the chance to know more about the user @NYR73 as well recently and he's a funny and memey dude like myself. Excited to see how his player progresses in the league and Erik can be a sneaky fantasy option this season. I'm sad how we're in different conferences so our players won't get to face against each other much, but when we do I'll be sure to rough him up against the boards.
