2. I do like the new all star game format, and I really like that the site is full of users who will work hard to come up with new ideas and ways to bring more interest into parts of the site that might have been getting less attention. I think the 4 division teams is a great touch, and will be familiar for everyone who watches the NHL all star game weekend. And I really like the idea of bringing back some of the all-time great players. It was fun to see the names of some of the greatest players in SHL history; a few of which were dominating when I first created on the site, brought back a sense of SHL nostalgia.

3. While I still think the new format is a great idea and fun way of mixing it up, I do have some thoughts on the format. I know that "too many users getting honored" is a ridiculous concern, but it will double the amount of all star players. I'm not sure if anyone actually gives a lot of merit to all stars when considering things like HoF, etc, but if we double the amount of all star players moving forward it might make them weigh less in those decisions. I think it would've been awesome to have this format be in a 3-3 tournament, but FHM is limited. Or maybe just 2 lines for each conference would've worked? I also think that for immersion sake, it's kind of funny to mix the historical greats right in with the teams. Like canonically wouldn't some of them be like 100 years old? I think it would've been awesome to see a full east vs. west alumni game on display instead. Either way though I really like the format, and the round robin can allow for an 'all star weekend' MVP rather than just 'all star game' MVP.
