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. If I had to choose between Evil Albran and Lias Ekholm-Gunnarson, I would probably have to go with Ekholm-Gunnarson. They were shooting nearly 6% better percentage (although Albran was shooting more) but also was able to put up more assist and had more goals on even strength that I think makes them just slightly more valuable.
b. I am a big fan of defensive defenseman but I have to say Borje Samuelsson. I think the all star weekend is a lot more catered to offensive players and defensive players like Adelie de Pingu are probably not going to play as hard for an all star game as they would say a playoff game so I think Samuelsson will have a much easier time being in the spotlight this weekend.

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.)

I think it comes to no one's surprise that our starting center and best player, Konstantin Selich made the all star team coming off of a season in which we saw him put up over 100 points with just under 50 goals. So that being said, I want to talk about my other teammate who made the all star team, Casey Fantobens. Fantobens in S71 regular season put up stats of 2.94 GAA and a save percentage of 0.911 to go along with the 5 shutouts Casey was able to record. I think Buffalo surprised a lot of people this season and Fantobens was a huge part of that 45 win season that Buffalo was able to produce and certainly extended their excellent play into the post season. I think what makes them special though is their ability to step up in big games and have great consistency of play which is gonna be big for eastern conference all star team.
