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?

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!

a. I think it's a no-brainer that the duo of Winter and Surkhi-Ze'ev along with the Winnipeg Aurora superstar Ekholm-Gunnarsson will outscore Lacksamus, Svoboda and either Hinata or Koivu. The two Blizzard forwards had 120+ goals between them in only 66 games, and them playing without any pressure will only elevate their game.

c. Never bet against the duo of Fantobens and Karsikko, as they've been here before and never disappoint. I would feel very comfortable playing in front of them, even though I did pick the Western first line to outscore the East, Fantobens and Karsikko sure won't make it easy for them! Great pair.

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.)

William Tree of the Toronto North Stars was the lone representative from the team to make the All-Star game, and for good reason. The rookie sensation should be up there in award voting for the top rookie in the SHL, and I would be surprised if Tree did not win the whole dang thing. He led Toronto in goals, assists and points as a rookie, and normally that wouldn't be a big deal, but turns out Toronto was not at all bad this season, making the playoffs and winning a game off of New England of all teams. Tree may not be taken all that seriously from the rest of the All-Stars, but I expect him to play hard and fast and chip in offensively. By the end of the game, he will have convinced all the SHL and the fans around the world that he is for real and this is only the beginning!
