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.

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!)

a. I think the trio from the western conference of Winter, Surkhi-Ze'ev, and Ekholm-Gunnarsson will easily score more than their eastern conference counterparts. Edmonton and Winnipeg have won the two most recent challenge cups and I think it'll be much easier for the champs to find chemistry and easily keep scoring at their cup-winning paces.

b. I think the all star game provides a perfect opportunity to mix things up a bit and play with the excellent players of the league that you don't usually get a chance to form a line with. Obviously it's still nice to try and win the game, but mixing up the lines a bit and splitting up the teammates will make the game more dynamic to watch or participate in.

c. Time and Brzeczyszczykiwicz definitely have the upper hand here. As mentioned in one of my earlier responses, coming to the all-star game off the back of a cup win is huge for confidence. Justin Time is the best goaltender in the league and Grzegorz is a more than capable backup. This answer is closer than the others however, since Karsikko and Fantobens are both extremely talented as well.

d. This is going to be a bit of a tough sell. Kevens is nearing the end of his career and while he still had a very solid season, his numbers aren't as high as the top players of the league. If there's one selling point to try and get Kevens into the all-star game, it would be the fact that he probably deserved one or two more appearances than he got in his prime and they'd let him in this season for pity.
