2. East has interesting mix of top scoring players who finished on top 15 on points. How would you mix these players up to create best 2 forward lines?

3. On West you could build D pairs out of teammates or rivals as both Los Angels and San Fransisco sends 2 defencemen. Which one you’d choose and for why?

2. It’s difficult to come up with lines for the east all star team since its basically half people who play center normally – even Billy Herrington is a center in the latest index loaded though he’s announced onto this roster as a winger. So, if I were to be coach for the all-stars it would come down to who is willing, able, and experienced to play out of position along with whichever centers we choose to keep on the dot. I think a strong spine is very important for the team so I would set up three lines around three strong centers, In this case I would pick Tony Soprano, Max Carnage, and the physically imposing Gnabe Dabson on the third line (because I don’t trust him as much to get up and down the wings). I’d make sure to split up the top playmaking wings as well, probably going with Beauregard on Tony’s line and Jiggle E. Puff on Max’s line, which just leaves the opposite winger to be chosen for each line and for this I would choose to keep familiar players together, dropping Sawschuk and Herrington into the mix. Therefore my two East all-star lines would be Sawschuk-Soprano-Beauregard and Puff-Carnage-Herrington. These should pose a big threat against the west all-stars, which will be needed in order to counter the goaltending advantage they have in this game.

3. I feel like I get a similar question often and I usually give the same answer: it depends. Do we want to win this game, or are we trying to have more fun and give fans a look at some fantasyland combinations? In this case we do have some flexibility to do both without switching pairs mid-game, because both Maximova and Shaw represent France internationally, bringing some familiarity to a pairing that theyd make up. Similarly, despite different birth countries, Willow and Toasty bring the same surname to the party, despite being from different parts of Europe. Would be funny to see a pair of Soderberg-Snooks jerseys lining up side-by-side for the opening faceoff. No matter how you slice it, someone will have to play on their off-side, being that willow is the only RD of the bunch. Even bringing McCarthy into the conversation doesn’t fix that. Im going Toasty-Willow and Maximova-Shaw.
