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?

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. Pengu would absolutely take Lias for completely personal bias reasons. Lias shares a team with Pengu in the IIHF and also is on a team that has repeatedly knocked out Pengu and his beloved Chicago from the playoffs time and time again. This has put some deep respect into Pengu for what Lias can do and so he would deffo take Lias if given the choice for shooters. (68 words)
b. This one is easy and its going to Pengu all the way. Mostly because it'd be a shame to not pick my own player when I can! Pengu recently won a season award for best defenseman because of his insane ability to score and has now followed that up with being the best defensive defenseman in the league. He's shown that he can do it all and is a true double threat who can turn it on at any time, so he's the obvious choice. (85 words)

5. Written, 3 TPE, Last Men In (150 words min.)

Which of your teammates (not yourself!) should be the last man in for your conference? Why should they get in, and why will it be a literal crime if they dont?

I absolutely believe that the player Ben Jammin from the Chciago Syndicate should make it in as the last man. Not because of his statistical prowess, but for the things he can do that you just can't quantify on the ice. He's an incredible teammate who is always positive and optimistic. He supports everyone on the team no matter what and constantly keeps morale high and keeps everyone else on the squad wanting to do their best. Be it throwing out random heart eyes or a reassuring huggers, he may be the single most positive force in the entire league. The impact that can have on a team can't be underestimated. Especially when you're talking about a game in which you have the best of the best facing off against each other. These are freak athletes at the top of their game and even the most slight of advantages could push one team past the other. So give us Ben Jammin for the morale boost alone! (166 words)
