1. Milestones - 2 TPE

2a. It’s going to be the West’s top line that scores more goals and the East’s goalies should be worried. LEG is an absolute wagon on the ice and could probably outscore the East even without two stud linemates. Edmonton’s players are battle hardened from the season and ready to absolutely light up whoever the East is starting in net. After having to face Mat Smith, this is light work.

2c. I’d go with Fantobens and Karsikko. Firstly, I can’t spell that other goaltenders name so there was no way I was putting them in here. Second, I recognize Karsikko from the J, which means they’re a certified grinder and that’s exactly who you want between the pipes. Finally, Fantobens has an established SHL pedigree and that’ll take us to the next level.

2d. Bergling did not make the SHL all star team but I firmly believe that he should have. Sure, he didn’t score many point. Yes, he wasn’t a positive impact while on the ice. No, he didn’t drive play for the team either. But he does have heart and that’s what every winning team needs. That all star game is going to be heartless if they don’t vote in Bergling as the last man in. He will try harder than anyone has tried in an all star game.

4. I’m going to have to agree with the lovely Tesla below me and say that MatSmith Soderberg-Tremblay should be playing with Lias Ekholm-Gunnarsson. Firstly, they have two of the longest names in the league so it simply seems like fate that they should end up on the same line together. Second, MSST and his agent have been lifelong members of the Syndicate family. I don’t see a world in which he leaves Chicago, and I’d be surprised to see LEG in a Chicago uniform in the near future so this might be their only opportunity to play together. The league might only get this one chance to see two of the games top scorers together - ala Crosby and Ovechkin or McDavid and Matthews so it just seems right. Finall, they’re friends off the ice so there’s a good chance that they have some chemistry and will come out flying off the bat. Good news for their all star team.
