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. I'd rather have Lias Ekholm-Gunnarsson, but for fairly superficial reasons. skölpaddor the user registered around the same time as I did and both our first players were S47, so I want a fellow S47 alumni to come out on top if i had nothing else to choose from about the players.

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.)

Theo Kondos, represented by Ohtaay, is the Texas player we have in the All Star game. It's a point of pride he made it in right away instead of as a last man in like some of the last few seasons we've had. He scored the highest goals on the team, which is especially impressive as a season 55 geezer clinging on to his glory days (just kidding, Ohtaay). He has the most shots on the team and has lots of time and experience on the special teams, contributing to the teams success during all the critical moments of the season. He also is a very physical player, topping the team's hits of both offensive and defensive players. His offensive rating, as well, tops the charts, showing off his offense oriented playstyle. Offensive players tend to get recognition through the all star game, so I'm glad he gets to represent Texas there.

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 think Capncooper's Dirty Boots should get into the All Star game. First, he's the GM of a blooming team that's ripe for making a real impact upon the league. The window has been set and the players are maturing nicely. The team is beginning to leave a nice iron-y aftertaste that is sure to be a historic vintage. Second, his player has been doing very well at fantasy. I know fantasy performance has no impact on the games and shouldn't be much of an indicator of on ice aptitude, but performing well in those stats sure would make him popular with the masses that do the voting for last players in. Third, his performance on ice a testament to Texas defense. He's the highest scoring defenseman on the team and nearly the highest shooter. He plays the most of anyone, 2.5 minutes per game more than the next. He's a Texas defenseman through and through.
