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. Two teams, Edmonton and Los Angeles, tie with five total nods each. Both of those teams are in the West. Playoff rivalry aside, do you think it's to the West's advantage or 

disadvantage to have a relatively large number of players from the same two teams? Does it make the all-star game better or worse when this happens?

b. While the East rolled it back with two top defensive pairings - this year that means Philadelphia and Hamilton - the West mixed it up with only Los Angeles having two 

defensemen present. Everyone else has a new partner. Which side's defense are you more interested in watching?

c. While there aren't any new faces in net this season, which pair of goalies do you think is going to have more fun?

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. It is impressive these 2 teams were that good to have so many players appear in the all star game but i would in fact make the argument this is to their disadvantage because it
means that the conference as a whole is weaker then you would hope for in these festivities. I worry the west will lose because of this -61 words

b. I would say i am more interested in the East as far as defensemen goes, i feel like synergy built up between defensemen makes a big deal to how they perform and play and it
should translate over to the all star game. my bet remains on the East to shine in this regard. - 54 words

c. This will be the first case i choose the west over the east. I do not believe either has an advantage in net but i do believe the East will shoot more shots and should
goaltender Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz get to play in net i am sure the audience will roar with applause as announcers and play by play attempt to say such a crazy name -65 words

d. Alexandros not making the all-star game was expected as it is their rookie season and they entered the SHL a season early to assist in Chicago’s last shot at the cup. It is for these reasons however that I believe Alexandros should have made the all-star game for despite having nothing expected of them and playing on the 3rd line this season he put up a respectable 22 goals and 47 points adding in a +6, worthy of some recognition! -80 words

Code:
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 Chicago Syndicate that I am are of to make the all-star team was first line center Dave Heinrich. Dave has only 1 previous all-star appearance before this season but was absolutely a no brainer choice for Chicago’s pick into the game. Despite just entering their regression phase Dave has just come off their best ever season in terms of points and goals with 98 and 43 respectfully. In previous seasons Chicago has been a force to be reckoned with and despite a decent regular season they are very much on the down swing so to see such a dominant season from any of our players is stellar and would firmly put them in the conversation even if we had multiple invitees going. I expect that do to their declining TPE amount that they will be put on a lower line for the game but I expect them to put up some points and prove Chicago has some life left in us. -166 words

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.
