1. Milestones, up to 3 TPE.

+3 TPE - Milestones

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!)

While the goal scoring race may have ended in a tie on paper, the clear choice for who I'd want to play with is Lias Ekholm-Gunnarsson. The reason for this is simple, his name abbreviates to LEG. In the greatest film of all time, Bloodsport, legs are used by Jean Claude Van Damme to defeat the enemy and win. Thus any other choice would be beyond foolish.

The western conference has the clear advantage in front of the goal in the Allstar game. Honestly, I'm surprised that a brick wall in front of the goal is allowed. It seems unfair that an inanimate wall that literally can't be scored on if it's built bigger than the goal would be allowed.

I've been informed that brick wall is actually a person named Brick Wall and not a literal brick wall, but the answer stands

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.)

Making an all star game is quite the accomplishment, yet despite the rarified air an all star selection represents, I know that Bender Jr. is having no issues breathing. This is because, much like his namesake. Bender Bending Rodriguez, Bender Jr needs only alcohol to fuel him through the season and to power the puck into the goal. Is there a clear plot hole in our world allowing Bender Jr to exist almost 1000 years before his Father? Who cares! He is a gifted hockey playing robot and being good at sports is far more important than logic. Much as Bender Bending Rodriguez bends girders, so can Bender Jr. bend the opposing defense. The opposing goalie might as well be a paperclip when facing Bender Jr. on a breakaway... Already bent. Bender jr.'s already beaten him, he just doesn't know it until the puck is behind him and the goal horn has sounded.
