Milestones - 2 TPE

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.
e. 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, tell us why they were picked.)

Robo Sven should have made the all star game just by virtue of being the only android on the ice. He obviously still has a lot of fine tuning to do in order to become the elite scorer he's aiming to be, but he is a marvel of modern technology and if that doesn't justify an all star berth, I don't know what does.

5. Written, 3 TPE, Let me do it (150 words min.)

If I had to pick someone from the skills competition to be on the actual team, it would be Jussi Mutou. I'm kind of trying to throw Montreal a bone here, cause let's be honest: we all know they were tanking HARD and probably aren't the best team to highlight any sort of skill on (at this moment). However, the all star team should be represented by someone from each team in the league, cause even the worst player in this league is an elite athlete that has earned their spot to compete amongst the best in the world. I would probably replace Jarrod Lakemoore because one, Buffalo is stinky, and two, I don't think they performed well enough this season to justify having three members on the initial all stars roster. It would kinda suck to have that taken away from you after the roster has been announced, but I think it sucks more to not have Montreal represented at all.

7. Written, 2 TPE, How can so many people be so wrong (100 words min.)

I don't know how anyone can ever snub Olof Karsikko from the all star team. Honestly, even after Olof retires he should just have a third string goalie spot penciled in on each all star team. There has never been a goalie in the history of the SHL that is as clutch as Olof, and if you find a way to tap into the mythical playoff Olof mode, god help your opponents (and even if he does, that won't be enough). Olof not being on the all star team is a disservice to the league and a disservice to the awards. Shame on all of you.
