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.

Code:
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 opposide sides of the faceoff dot this all star game. Which of our league's best scorers would you rather have and why?

I would rather have Lias Ekholm-Gunnarsson, because he seems to be able to get more assist than Evil Allbran did in the last few seasons and because Lias is also younger than Evil which means he should have more good seasons left in him than Evil has which should translate in Lias being able to keep this level of production longer than Evil for the upcoming seasons.

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?

I would definitely expect Borje Samuelsson to be the standout against Adelie de Pingu in the upcoming All-Star game. From reputation, the All-Star game is usually a game with all-out offence and a high score count. In this situation, I expect the players who are able to produce more offensive to shine more than the ones who have an outstanding defensive record and this is why I expect Borhe to have the better showing.

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?

I think the Eastern Conference should be the more comfortable with their goaltender option. Wall and Fantobens where the two goaltenders with the highest goals saved above average this season, right above their opponents Time and St. Ark. They also both had a higher save percentage than their opponents. I give the advantage to the Eastern goalies, because they’re both perform better than their opponents in what I consider to be the two most important goalie stats.

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!)

Salzberger Lilehammersson should have made the all-star game roster because he is a versatile player and because he was one of the best five on five performers on his team. Salzberger got 55 five on five points at five on five in 66 games this season which is close to one point per game in the most important part of the game, which is five on five plays.

3. Written, 3 TPE, And Now, For the Main Event (150 words min.)

Tell me about your teammate who made the all star game! Who are they, what makes their game special, and why are they going to utterly dominate this event? (If more than one of your teammates made the game, pick one of those players other than yourself. If you are the only player on your team selected for the all star game so far, then and only then may you pump your own tires.)

The Atlanta Inferno player who made the all-star roster and will play for the Eastern Conference at the upcoming SHL All-Start game is Shoyo Hinata. Hinata completely deserved his selection to represent Atlanta this season. He leads the team in scoring with 107 points which is 24 more points than the closest player on our team who was Viktor Krunk. His 53 goals in 66 games were good for fourth best in the league. He was also playing on the PK every game. The reasons mentioned above are why Shoyo Hinata was the obvious pick to represent the Inferno at the All-Star since his season was so much better than everyone else on the team. I think Hinata will utterly dominate the All-Star, because he scored for fun this season and since the All-Star game usually has a way more open game than we can see during the regular season, I think that Shoyo will have plenty of time with the puck to be able to maximize his goal output during the game.
