Code:
1. Milestones, up to 3 TPE.

Milestones are folded in with All-Star Week.

Link your Milestone claim as task 1 for up to 3 TPE towards your 8 total.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post your claim in the milestones thread for tpe earned per stat, and then link that post in your ASW submission. This is done because the person who grades ASW will be a different person than double-checks milestones.

Code:
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 presumable top forward line of both conference teams this season is two teammates plus one from a division rival. For the East, Lacksamus and Svoboda of New England will have their line completed by either Shoyo Hinata of Atlanta or Ricky Koivu of Philadelphia. In the West, Edmonton's Winter and Surkhi-Ze'ev teaming up with an old nemesis in Ekholm-Gunnarsson gives me the shivers as a goalie. Which of these top lines do you think will score more this ASG?

b. Both conferences also have two pairs each that played together all season. The East has the top pairings of the Wolfpack and Forge, while the West has those of Edmonton and Winnipeg. If you were coaching these games, would you keep those pairs together, or would you mix them up?

c. Goalie picks were intersting this year; only one cup finalist will suit up for this allstar game. Which goalie tandem - Time and Brzęczyszczykiewicz or Fantobens and Karsikko, would you pick to play in front of? Remember that in the All Star Game, the backup will get minutes!

d. Why should YOUR player have made the all star game, and why should you be the last man in? (If your player did make the all star game, argue for one of your teammates instead!)

c. I think I'd rather have Justin Time and Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz in the net behind me if I were playing. Justin's play helped elevate his team to win the championship, and Grzegorz's added play, on average, would help Time's excellent save percentage even more so than I think Fantobens's would help Karsikko's.

d. Hodor would've been a great defensive add to the all star game. He was the top shot blocker of the league and would've put on a show for the audience in stopping pucks from even getting to the goalie. Also, Hodor is a popular player, even starring in a popular show at one point.

Code:
3. Written, 3 TPE, The Teammate One (150 words min.)

Tell me about your teammate who made the all star game! Who are they, why were they an obvious choice to make the All Star roster, and what do you expect from them this ASG? (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, write about your team's candidate for last man in instead.)

The only player on the Texas Renegades that made it into the All-Star game was David-Arturri Donskoi. Lovingly nicknamed dad (D.A.D.), he is the team captain and great locker room presence. David-Arturri Donskoi was the top scorer for Texas, the up and coming team that came in 9th and has been rising in the rankings recently. He kept a nearly 1.5 PPG pace and was pivotal for the Renegades's power play unit. He also was a great center, averaging a 55% faceoff win rate. He did all this while being on the lower end of forwards leading their individual teams with a 21:26 average time on ice. I don't expect them to be the top center on their team, but I expect that whatever line he's on will do better than you'd expect from a line of that caliber. They should really consider putting him on one of the power play units to take advantage of his playstyle.
