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 that the eastern conference's top line in the all star game will score more this year purely because Shoyo Hinata is so good. Just an absolute monster of a player who can pot goals in his sleep. He'll carry that line himself. Shoyo could go out there by himself and still end the night as the leading scorer. (60 words)

b. If I were coaching the all star game I would keep the pairs together and not choose to mix them up. I'm a competitive person and as a coach my aim would always be to win no matter what the circumstances are so I would keep that chemistry together and go for the win by playing them together. (58 words)

c. I'm going opposite this time and heading to the west because I believe in Justin Time as a cup winning goalie, but I would especially love to play in front of Brzęczyszczykiewicz. Brzęczyszczykiewicz is crazy in net and doesn't let anything in. Complete brick wall back there made up of all the characters in his name. (56 words)

The Last Men In are now decided and the rosters are finalized. Who was a good pick? Who got snubbed?

Now I'm here to tell you today that Reed Kobo, superstar forward from the Los Angeles Panthers hockey franchise was a deserved winner of the last man in vote for this year's Simulation Hockey League all star game. He's a real star of the game and would've been an absolute snub if he didn't make it. Potting 90 points is nothing to sneeze at and he showed off a power forward style of play this year. Real lunch pail, hard working, brings the intangibles type of superstar that should absolutely be celebrated by the league. Conversely Binko Koivu is a huge snub for many of the same reasons @goldenglutes. 105 points and a real two way game Binko tried hard this year and showed that he too is a big star in the SHL. Binko loves the game and deserves to be showing off his craft on the big stage aka the all star game that a lot of people watch.
