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.

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.

b. Inferno and Panthers got to send two forwards each, Shōyō Hinata and Binko Koivu from Atlanta and Adam Prpich and Derek Martin from Los Angeles. Would you let them show of their chemistry and potentially dominate the game by letting them play on the same line or is All-Star game prime opportunity for them to show their creativity and skill even when playing with other top players?

Of course I would play them together, you need to use chemistry when you can, especially since we know how weird FHM can be otherwise. They will have to play with someone else anyway, but I'd definitely keep them on the same line to have some kind of advantage. Whether they will dominate remains to be seen.

Code:
c. Should the starting goaltender be the one who arguably had better season? Or as the stakes aren't as high as usually would you think it is better to offer the experience for the goalie who has had less appearances? Or maybe honor the one who has had more? Who should start and why?

Neither really if you ask me. Both goalies should play the same amount of time, because both have earned their spot to be there so there shouldn't be any kind of distinction between starter and backup. Let each of them play exactly half of the game. If, however, that's not really possible (who knows what FHM allows and what not) I'd simply use some tool to randomly pick one.

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

I knew it. I told you last season that I'd be back to check and unfortunately nothing has changed. For several seasons now I have tried to have this prompt changed to "Last Players In" but they still use "Last Men In". I have time, I'll be back again next season to check if perhaps this time someone actually read the replies. In the voting thread they managed to adjust it to "Last Players In" too. Not all players in this league are men, not even all All-Stars are. We even have tons of players that aren't even human and those should feel included too. But - to get back to the actual question - for goalies I can't really complain, they probably picked the best 4 out of the league's starters. The only one who would've been good too is (the eventual cup winner) Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz who definitely saw more shots than the other too, but you can only pick two from the West unfortunately.
