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. I truly believe that the all star game should award the best players in the league, no matter what teams they come from. I really do hate the way the NHL does it that every single NHL team has one player that shows up to the all star game. That makes it more of a participation contest rather than awarding the better players in the league with something.
b. I think I am more interested in watching the Eastern conference Defenseman this year. Although the Blizzard have the more high power players as their players led the defensive scoring leader categories, I think the depth of the Eastern Conference takes the cake. I would rather watch all 6 guys on the Eastern conference than have to wait for the top Defenseman's on the Western conference.
d. Although I had a rough year this year as a player in the regular season, I think my performance in the playoffs would grant me the place in the all star game. I was surprised to see that I dominated the playoffs, leading the whole playoffs in Points and Goals, which I had 4 more than the next guy who I am lucky enough to call a teammate. But, the all star game is for the regular season and not the playoffs.

How much of a correlation do you think there is between TPE and an all-star nod? Should there be more, or less, than there is?

I think it hard to really argue this one. The better players most likely have the most TPE, that is just common sense. If players are able to have higher individual ratings, they will perform better on the sim. Where I think there is a little change in this observation is players that play on bad teams. There are bad teams that will play their best players a ton of minutes and just try to stat pad those players the best they can. The thing is that, sometimes, these players are not the ones with 2k TPE or 1800 tpe, they are just a rebuilding team who has their highest rated player with 1300 TPE for example. So yes, he will have a great season because he will be exposed to the top line, the top power play and probably even play a little bit of Penalty kill because the rebuilding team has some Inactives on their team or rookies with very low TPE counts.
