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. Which of the three Montreal players would have been best addition to either of the teams?

b. Nash Topalo and Seamus O'Slapahan were only defencemen picked in top 10. Were they two best options this season? Should there have been more picked early on?

c. Which of the teams could have better top line (center and two wingers), WhiteFuzz with Johnny Wagner-Svenson - Viktor Hargreeves - Antoine Beauregard or JRuke with Erik Bergmark - Derek Martin - Aksel Fiske? Why you think they are better?

d. Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz and Sir Devoir were picked with back to back picks and thus both teams secured their started. Does either side have advantage on net? Back up goalies were picked lot later, do you think they can play role in the game at all?

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.)

d. I honestly do not think either team has an advantage. Realistically this is an all star game. While skaters may go a little hard the goalies both know that this is a show for the fans and that they do not want to get injured in a meaningless game. Imagine you are leading up to a playoff run and your Ron Mexico level starter is out for the rest of the season. Nah, these guys will hardly even butterfly during this game so honestly I think it'd be better to have a junior goalie in net trying to prove themselves than a goalie bound for the playoffs.
e. Cal Juice should have been in the playoffs because he is a total offensive dynamo out there. If his stats don't show it's because he's stuck playing with awful linemates and coaches with their heads so far up their butts they can taste their dinner so he isn't getting power play time. If the selection group had any idea what they were doing Cal Juice would have been the first player selected without a thought of any other player.

9. Written, 3 TPE, Players Tribune (150 words min.)

A popular format of media that has made a resurgence recently due to certain dedicated media writers, The Player's Tribune involves writing from your player's point of view in the 1st person. Write your Player's Tribune about your player's season. How do they feel about their results? Did they achieve their goals? Are they venting out frustration? Are there any moments of the season that were memorable?

Hey everyone, I'm Cal Juice the rookie on Chicago. Most of you probably don't know me very well and for good reason. My first year was rough. I went from a junior team that was rebuilding to a pro team that was rebuilding. It's hard doing that, you start to feel like maybe you're the problem when that happens but Chicago set me up with a sports psychologist. The coaches and I have also gone over tape together a ton and so I suppose the upside is that I am learning a ton from my mistakes. We are a young team and together we are building character through adversity. The late period comebacks that we are having to do far too often are showing us that we can get through the hard times and hopefully when those are happening less often we can make the unfortunate first periods less important with remarkable third periods. I'll be back next year and I'll be even better. That's a promise to the fans and a threat to the other teams.
