Task 7

In my opinion the last player in should be Connor Simard who really stepped it up this for the Nevada Battleborn having the best season of his career. Simard had 73 points this season compared to just his 27 last season which is a huge step up and should get any player recognized for their achievement. While yes he does fall short behind some other players in points Simard made do for the Battleborn and had 4 game winning goals. There is no doubt within in my mind if the Battleborn had to pick another person to be an all star it would be Simard. He will be the future of this franchise for seasons to come.

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.

b. I think Nash Topalo and O'Slapahan were solid choices, although for the sake of my fantasy team, I may have some other options to be in the ASG and top 10. Phillippe-Eko Eel probably had a good chance, along with Filip Lund, both of whom have also been early fantasy selections. I think the defense group was quite deep though, so going for the top forwards earlier probably just made more sense objectively.
e. Well Cheeks was the best defenseman for Calgary this season so I think that he could have been an option. He led defensemen on his team by 15 points, and scored a pretty solid 14 goals in 66 games. He is going to be in the skills competition too, so there was some inclination of talent. So if last man in voting is still going on, please vote for Cheeks! I would be honored.

3. The Teammate One - 3 TPE
So it seems like Tom Pedersen was the Calgary representative to the ASG (with yours truly Cheeks Klapanen in the skills contest). he was definitely a solid choice, leading the team in goals by nearly 10 goals and points with 77. Sunrise van de Schubbe et al was a solid 2nd choice, but with Pedersen's goals (also jeez, whopping 25 on even strength vs 7 on the PP, 6 SH goals too is crazy), he was definitely the favorite. He was a pretty late pick in the ASG draft, so expectations may not be the highest for him. But in CGY, we're all rooting for him to do his best and bring back some honor. I still don't really know what events Cheeks will be participating in but hopefully he'll have a good showing as well.

3. Graj Virrok is a standout player on our ice hockey team, renowned for his exceptional skills on the ice. His proficiency in skating, puck handling, and scoring goals has made him a formidable force in the league. Throughout the season, Graj has consistently delivered impressive performances, making him a clear choice for the All-Star roster. In the All-Star Game, I anticipate Graj to shine brightly on the ice, showcasing his talent and determination to excel. His ability to control the game's pace, create scoring opportunities, and contribute defensively will undoubtedly make him a key player for his team. Fans can expect an exhilarating display of hockey prowess from Graj as he represents our team with pride in the All-Star Game. In the All-Star Game, Graj's speed, agility, and precision on the ice will be on full display, thrilling fans and showcasing why he's among the elite in the league.

4. The current system prioritizes team representation over individual merit, ensuring every team has a presence at the All-Star game. While this promotes league-wide inclusivity, it may overlook standout performers on the same best teams. Shifting focus towards selecting the best players, regardless of team affiliation, could better showcase talent and elevate the competitiveness of the All-Star event. While team representation is important for fan engagement and league parity, emphasizing individual performances would elevate the prestige of the All-Star game and provide a more accurate reflection of the league's top talent. Ultimately, a balance between team representation and individual excellence is necessary for a fair and captivating All-Star experience. Having the best on best is something the SHL should strive for.
