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

While both players are clearly incredible, I think as of this moment I'd have to choose Evil AllBran as my champion center. Although LEG has had two back to back incredible seasons, AllBran has had sustained success over the course of a few more seasons. I'm choosing experience and reliability over the up and coming younger player.

Code:
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?

Considering the regular season alone, I think Wall and Fantobens were the better duo, but now after seeing Fantobens lift the cup with Buffalo, there's no doubt that her and Wall are the better duo. Wall is at the peak of his career and has plenty of experience with making Montreal one of the least scored on teams in the league while Fantobens has recently proven that even a young player can be an all-star quality starter.

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.)

With Winnipeg and Edmonton earning most of the spots in the west, star defenseman Adelie de Pengu is the sole representative of the Syndicate in this season's all star game. After having a remarkable S69 and then cooling off a bit in S70, Pengu returned in S71 with another fantastic season that nearly matched the pace of S69. Of Chicago's top 2 defensemen with high ice time and time on the first power play unit, Pengu was able to rise above expectations to dominate in both offensive and defensive categories. They led Chicago defensemen in points, shots, blocks, and also strangely faceoff win percentage, somehow winning 12/33. In other categories, Pengu was still putting up great numbers such as a takeaway to giveaway ratio of 54 to 17. Pengu earned the all star spot due to this well-rounded effort over the course of the season while keeping pace with the gold standard set by the rest of the league.
