5. First of all, there is no such thing as the city of Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay is, as the name suggests, a bay, and as such is a body of water and does not have any permanent human residents. This would be analogous to calling New York City the Hudson River or something, and is something that irks people who are from the area. The Tampa Bay area is of course the metropolitan area consisting of Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and a few other nearby cities, which of course is what you are actually referring to. As for things to do in the area, the obvious answers you'll get are the big ticket items like Busch Gardens or the Florida Aquarium, but let's talk about some of the lesser known things you can do in the area. There's the Replay Museum in Tarpon Springs, a museum dedicated to arcade games that features over 100 different pinball machines and plenty of arcade machines that you can play all day for just $14 without needing to use coins or anything. For even more nostalgia, check out Viper Video in Tampa, one of the few places left still renting and selling VHS tapes, as well as DVDs and blue rays. You can pretend Blockbuster is still a thing! And of course you have to check out the local cuisine, so head on over to Pappy's Devil Crabs and treat yourself to a unique delicacy originating from Ybor City. (249 words, +4 TPE)

9. I think the spread is fine. I have always supported the idea of having at least one all-star from every team, even if it means picking someone who probably wouldn't have made the list otherwise, which then precludes another player with better stats that might have made it instead. Often times the player that ends up missing out would be the 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th player from one of the particularly strong teams and sometimes you have to wonder how much of their success is because of their individual ability and how much is because their team, as a whole, was simply better than most teams they faced. Yes, hockey is a team sport and of course the biggest accolade goes to the best team (winning the cup), but the All-Star game is about rewarding individual skill and sometimes it can be harder to standout when your team is bad and you have little puck control and are constantly playing on the backfoot.

I think instinctively you would want to play all four players together in the hopes that their chemistry will lead to better on ice results. However, that flies in the face of what the All-Star game is all about. Hockey is fun; the all-star game is meant to be a fun escape for those who have risen to unimaginable heights.

You may mix up a potent potable and find yourself with a new dynamic line that zips the puck around faster than the Flash.
Let the players make new friends and play with someone they haven't before. You never know, it may help you land a big fish when free agency rolls around.

2. 4 skaters from Los Angeles made it, should coaches try to keep them together or would you want to see things mixed up more?

With four skaters from the Los Angeles Panthers making it to the All Star Game, I would love to see the coaches mix things up and play them on different lines. On one shift they could play them together, but I think the All Star Game should be all about giving the fans a special experience. Fans can see them play together in any other game, so this should be an opportunity to get the fans a new experience. Plus, it would be fun for the skaters to get an opportunity to play with new players as well so it's a win-win for everyone involved.

5. What can city of Tampa Bay offer to players they are hosting for All-Star games?

Tampa Bay can offer a lot to players they are hosting for the All Star Game. For starters, beautiful weather. All Stars can chill at the beach and work on their tan. If that isn't something that is up their alley, maybe they can catch an Tampa Bay Buccaneers game. Other options include checking out the zoo, theme park, or aquarium.

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

If Toronto North Stars right winger Teemu Salami were to start a YouTube channel, it would likely be a vlog style channel which would feature a day in the life type videos. This would give SHL and hockey fans in general a behind the scenes look into Salami's life to allow them to get to know the forward a little better than they already do. Videos would include a look into how he works out which would be short clips seeing as Salami is an overweight slob who needs to spend more time in the gym. It would include his diet, mainly consisting of salami, cheese, dino nuggets, and beer. Does Salami prefer hazy IPAs or cold lagers? Be sure to tune in. Of course fans would also see clips of Salami on the ice, getting some behind the scenes footage of his interaction with his Toronto North Star teammates. Besides the usual stuff, fans would also get answers to all the burning questions such as is he a side sleeper? What car does he drive? Does he pick his nose? The possibilities would be endless and the channel would easily have at least 10 subscribers, largely made up of Salami's closest friends and family.

8. The Teammate One

Despite a middling season, two Ottawa Highlanders made the SMJHL all star game, and both were well earned inclusions. Forwards Hockey Player and Easton Schaffer were standout players for the Highlanders in season 78, carrying the offence along with linemate Pique Boo who missed the cut despite his own strong season. Hockey Player lead the Highlanders in points (10th in the league) and assists (8th) and was dominant on the power play, tying Nevada's 3WW Wingmate-Roc for the league lead. Easton Schaffer led the team in goals, shot, and hits, and was the only positive +/- forward on the team. Both will bring their best to the all star game, probably scoring 4 or 5 points each. Minimum.

The importance of chemistry cannot be denied so I think it would indeed be a good idea for whomever coaches the all star teams to keep us together. On the other hand, fans would just watch a LA Panthers broadcast if they wanted to see the LA Panthers play together. They'd be much happier to see Adam Prpich play with Viktor Hargreeves and Chris Valentine for example.

4. (2)
For the West it's easy, I would start my boy Zerg. He's the reason we finished first in the league and although All star probably isn't affected by the playoffs, he's also the reason we won the cup. For the east, it's a bit more of a difficult choice but I think I'd pick Tibuk Soonika. He (mostly) has the best stats of the eastern goalies and although Five-Hole Sieve was a miracle worker for the Wolfpack, I think having the two cup finalists play each other once again would be fun and it's not like he wouldn't play in the second half of the game either.

5. (1)
I've never been to Tampa Bay so I'm just pulling this out of my ass but I guess they have beaches and the likes (they probably do but I don't know if they're terrible or something). Taking advantage of those and organizing activities on the beach or by the ocean could be fun, even if it would again remind fans of northern teams that teams in perpetual summer locations are just superior in winter sports.

8. (1)
Look Ma, I'm going to the ASG! Well, the question is about my teammates so I'm happy to be going with five fellow Panthers. Our offense was really spread and even us defensemen did great in terms of points and we all know that's the main factor if you're gonna go to the all star game. I understand they had to draw the line somewhere but it was surprising not to see Piastri on the list but I'm glad he was voted in by the league.

2. I think its great to see that 4 players from one team made the All Star team. It shows the strength of the team as a whole and shows how much they as individuals both deepened on their teammates and also shine as individuals. Its very evident to see that the team as one unit played off of one another strengths and improved the play of the others. If these four players had not been humming along as they did, you may not see all 4 get the call up to the All Star teams. I do think that all four are great players and did deserve the honor they received in being voted into the teams. I do however question if splitting the four of them up is the right call if we really want to see the best hockey possible on the ice. On the other hand though, it wont be as fair to the other squad to have 4 players on one side of the puck who all have good or better chemistry playing as a unit while the other side consists of a bunch of relative strangers. No matter how the teams are split, I still look forward to the game and the chance to watch of most talented players at work.

9. I like that there is a good spread of talent from a good number of teams throughout the league. Seeing teams with up to four players being nominated to the All Star game is also great to see from a fan perspective. I am torn on whether its better to have as many teams being representative as possible, or having our most skilled players getting the call. Its nice to have viewership from all over the league and I think as a result it brings in more attention then if we are to see fewer teams involved. Its so hard to tell a very talented player that they wont get the call because a far less deserving player was nominated just to spread the leagues viewership around. What if we were to have 4 teams play a mini tournament and make sure that each team has a minimum of one play show up to represent that city?
