2a. Both Evil and Lias seem like some of the nicest people in the league, and unfortunately I've never had the opportunity to play with them. I've lined up against both in the playoffs, but Allbran was the only one who's squad got the best of my team. Granted we only played WPG once and I've had the misfortune of playing PHI many times. So purely based on frequency with which they've kicked my ass, I guess I'd rather have Allbran on my team so that he can stop kicking my ass.

2d. My player should have made the All Star game because I'm old and old guys deserve to feel like an All Star sometimes too. Did i have my run with four appearances in my prime? Sure. Do I want another one? Of course I do. It's fun to travel and meet all the other people from around the league. It's fun to see someone in a more non-competitive light.


8. I'm happy to see that my teammate Petr Svoboda made it in during the last man in vote. We already had four players make it in NEW, so I understand why he might have been left off the first round of choices. It's hard to justify taking half of a teams lineup when every team deserves a shot. That being said, Svoboda potted nearly 50 goals and almost 100 points on the second place team in the league. He was clearly a huge part of our success, and deserves it just as much as Tater and Lacksamus. I'd argue Koivu could have made it in all the same. Those four carried our offense along with Samuelsson who did make it on the defensive side. I'm a lucky guy to play on a team with so many all stars. Sad that we took an early exit from the playoffs this season but I think NEW is going to continue to compete for years to come with such a young lineup. We'll probably see four or five all star selections from them again next season.
