3. Written, 3 TPE, The Teammate One (150 words min.)

Tell me about your teammate who made the all star game! Who are they, why were they an obvious choice to make the All Star roster, and what do you expect from them this ASG? (If more than one of your teammates made the game, pick one of those players other than yourself. If you are the only player on your team selected for the all star game so far, write about your team's candidate for last man in instead.)

Now let me tell you about one of the Philadelphia Forge players who made the All Star game this season, Graj Virrok. My dude is an absolute beast and absolutely was an obvious choice to make the all star team. He was tied for third in the entire SHL with 112 points last season, wowee that is a ton of points! But the other three players either tied with him or just ahead of him in points, all of them average less than 50 seconds of penalty killing time last season. Not my guy Virrok though, he can do it all and it shows with his over 3 minutes of penalty kill time average per game, super impressive for a high scorer and shows he cares about more than just scoring. He is perfect for the all star game because the lucky East coach can plug him into any role and the coach will know that Graj is going to be a beast and do it better than anyone else.

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. Before last players are picked Edmonton is the only team that has 4 players selected for the game. Among those only defensive pairing from a single team Isaac Forty-One and Emil Egli. They both were traded to new teams this offseason. Would you let them play one more time with each other or would you highlight them with their new teammates Dirty Boots and Brandan Laroux who also made it to the game?

c. Should the starting goaltender be the one who arguably had better season? Or as the stakes aren't as high as usually would you think it is better to offer the experience for the goalie who has had less appearances? Or maybe honor the one who has had more? Who should start and why?

a. I would separate the two players because they have to get used to playing without each other after Edmonton did a fire sale when all the other teams lost their minds and handed them a bunch of first round picks. Get them used to playing with other people in a relaxed environment, seems smart to me.

c. It really doesn't matter what we do with the goalies if you ask me, and I am even one of those goalies. It sucks being a goalie no matter what so the "reward" might be the goalie who plays less so they don't have an opportunity to get lit up in the all star game, further cementing the idea that goalies truly do not matter in this league.

Man where do I even start with Paul Bondage? While looking at his statistics, he may not be the first thing that jumps out to you from the page, but when you get to know the guy, you understand why it was he made the All Star team. The offensive-leaning defenseman still has a lot to learn and some bulking up to do, but where his impact lies in his determination and work ethic in the locker room and on the ice. It's no secret that Kelowna has had a rough few seasons, but Paul Bondage doesn't let this stop him from going out there and giving it his all every single night. He currently leads the team's defensemen in points and leads the team by a long shot in blocks. He lays his body down on the line every shift, every game night. Rumor has it that he's got one more run in him for Kelowna before being called up, it'll be exciting to see how he can lead this team in his final season with them.

Currently every team gets to send at least one player to the All-Star game. Are this seasons selections good in terms of team variety? Would you prefer more even selection from all of the teams or more focus to be put on individual performances despite the teams they represent? Do you think it is important for each team to get representation?

It's absolutely important to me that every team gets representation in All Star games. You could make an argument that maybe more players from the top tier teams are more deserving than the best players on lower tier teams, but in the long run, that just means the All Star games will be pretty much the exact same season after season. It's good to show all the teams involved some love and let some of those players that maybe are true all stars, but are on teams that are a bit down at the moment, have their time to shine and show what they are truly capable of.
