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.

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!)

Code:
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.)

Brand new to the all star line up out of the Twin City Minnesota Monarchs we have Alexi Piastri this season! Piastri coming from the same class as Meta Knight has often played 2nd fiddle on in the line up, so seeing them finally get recognition for often being an obvious choice in previous seasons is what I'd like to high light here. Where Piastri lacks in goal and point, they've more often than not made up for it playing a Quarterback type of position by racking up assists and putting teammates into position to score goals of their own. With 66 assists alone this season(49 in S73 and 37 in S72), we see an upward trend in Alexi's game and somewhat of a breakout year that make him a slamdunk choice for an all star selection! Piastri may have lost the regular season fight(really 0/1 in fights), but the 66 assists and 94 combined points far make up for the loss and helped push him into a well earned all star game bid.
