6. Your player decides to start a youtube channel, what kind of content they are creating? 1 TPE

Tom Pedersen’s youtube channel would be about wilderness, do it yourself and some survival in addition to gaming. It would probably be some stuff about hockey there as well. And food. Tom Pedersen loves food. Who doesn’t? Since it was just the day of fårikål (lamb in cabbage) Tom would like to make a video on how to really make it. Because of the way fancy chefs at fancy restaurants make it there should be more videos on how you actually make it and get the great taste that has been forgotten with the influence of fancy chofs that only make it look beautiful.

Often people Chirp only for money and don’t really check what others have been chirping about, but it doesn’t have to be so. Find one or few interesting Chirps from this weeks thread, that you could reply to, and tell us why you picked those. Do they raise interesting topics that you’d have something to say about? Or maybe they are just something funny that made you smile?

I must confess I only read the chirps that are on the same page as mine when I post them. I very seldomly scroll through others. Why? Because quite a few of them are just words smacked down to get cash. But once in a while you do find something funny or informative. I do like chirps that are a bit cheeky towards someone else than me or my player. I also read those chirps that are on the main page of the website to SHL. That is a really neat addition to the site. But with better quality it would be better reading.

Puolivalmiste said that in their chirp:
The system rewards low effort posting so it is no wonder we see quite lot of it. But we as a community have all the power to make it better.
It was an answer to Roguefort’s chirp:
hell i'm guilty too. hard not to just do the minimum for some money each week. it would be fun if this was more of a continuous conversation rather than everyone just sending out a meaningless tweet.
It summons up what many believe about the chirping. It is a way of making money, but most of us go bare minimum in our efforts to create these.

Grapehead published his chirp: Ahh, I keep getting up before the sun these days, and I don't even have anywhere to be.
And that is how most of us are feeling as we are getting older. Welcome to the club, Sir.

2. I think it is more fun to see mixed team line combinations and defensive pairings in All Star games rather then lumping teammates together like they likely have been for the rest of the season. From an entertainment aspect, it's cool to see who builds instant chemistry and who just does not mesh well with each other. (57 words) +1TPE

6. Rence Sykut's Youtube channel would consist of him out in the wilderness building primitive buildings and structures with only his hands or with only very rudimentary tools. These videos will always have no commentary and no explanation as to how or for what purpose he is constructing these structures. He will not acknowledge at any time that this is being filmed.

8. Shadow Fenix was the representative from my dear Seattle Argonauts team for this year's version of the All Star game. He is easily the most deserving Argonaut for this honor as he led the team in several key categories whilst playing the role of first line center. His 32 goals were nine more than the next highest scoring Argonaut and his 66 points was good enough to edge out linemate Will Tomlander by two. Shadow has now exceeded 1 point per game over the course of both of his two seasons in the SHL. Furthermore, he led the team in shots on goal with 221, power play goals with 13, and game winning goals with 4 all while playing the most minutes of any Seattle forward against the opposition's best competition. This will be his first All Star Game appearance, but surely not his last as he has not nearly reached his full potential and his Seattle team should improve considerably with him and around him leading to his production and accolades only increasing over the coming seasons.

I think overall this was a pretty good spread, as many of these players wouldn’t have made the team in a more conventional format. While I do think it takes away spots from more deserving players, I do like that it at least gives each locker room someone to celebrate from the year before. That said, I don’t think there is any need to include a 2nd player just for the sake of including them. The fact that every team gets to be represented is already the main point of the boon, and really adding a second player doesn’t enhance it all that much. Rather, I think it’s still more proper to give the spots to players who have had seasons deserving of being invited, and while that will disproportionately be the best few teams in the leagues, that doesn’t mean they should be celebrated any less. Overall, I think things work out best in the current system, where every team will get some form of representation, while still giving out as many as deserving spots if possible. If anything I would argue we should lean the other way with this, as invited a player from say a team of sub 1,000 TPE players just doesn’t make any sense compared to a 3rd or 4th best player on a league leading team.

There is no bias argument to be made for Ju-gong winning any awards this season. Perhaps the run away worst performing goalie in the league, the odds have been stacked against them for the entire 66 games. With a very young core protecting a very young goalie, it was always natural that a lot of goals would be flying into the net. Still, leading the league in losses and goals against – while also leading the league in saves – paints a pretty good picture of how futile Ju-gong was at stopping the endless barrage of shots coming towards the Montreal net. In this case something along the lines of 'The Getting Shelled Award' would be the most fitting, but more than a right, I see it as something more of a privilege. In this case the winner of said award should be given several things, first and foremost a therapy dog that is allowed to come out on the ice during breaks to cuddle and hold. Other benefits that could be included should be the best parking spot in player parking to leave the arena faster than anyone else, along with potential contributions to future therapy sessions. With all of this included, we can do a number to help the sanity year to year of the winner of The Getting Shelled Award.

3. With all defenders on the East team being from different teams, I think it really embodies the way the all-star game should be. I like that it is a bunch of different players who would not normally play together combining for a game to have a good battle. I would definitely pair the offensive minded defenders with more of the defensive or two way defenders that like to stay at home more. Phillipe Eko-Eel and Jølngüštrâädüvich DuBølk could be a really cool pair, with Eko-Eel carrying most of the offensive workload. DuBolk is definitely no slouch in the offensive zone for sure, finishing second in defender goals this season, but his 57 takeaways as well as his 214 blocks really stand out as the more defensive of the two on this pair. Eko-Eel's 66 points and 20 goals were good for 1st in points and third in goals among defenders, which would provide yet another scoring threat from the blue line. A defensive pair of two 6 foot 9 plus defenders that can block shots, put up goals, and shut down your top line is a coach's dream and opponents' nightmare. A great back end would see Georg N'Zola and Nathaniel Barca playing together on the second unit, with both able to play a solid two way style of game. Able to chip in on offense when needed, this defensive pair makes it a matchup nightmare for opposing teams.

4. Goaltending can be a bit streaky and you should not judge goaltenders off of a single game. 4 extremely talented goaltenders have made it into the all star game and either one on each team would be an excellent choice to start. For the western conference team I would probably go with Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz as the starter, finishing top 3 in goals against average and top 5 in save percentage gives him the edge over Justin Time for me. In the eastern conference I would have to go with Five-Hole Sieve, I think his .910 save percentage is very impressive and although Tibuk Soonika had a lower goals against average, I don't think the .25 GAA difference is as large as the .010 save percentage gap. With all star rosters like this you are really spoiled with choices and you could definitely just have each goalie play half of the game and get a good result.
