Code:
1. Milestones, up to 3 TPE.

Milestones are folded in with All-Star Week.

Link your Milestone claim as task 1 for up to 3 TPE towards your 8 total.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post your claim in the milestones thread for tpe earned per stat, and then link that post in your ASW submission. This is done because the person who grades ASW will be a different person than double-checks milestones.

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. Two teams, Edmonton and Los Angeles, tie with five total nods each. Both of those teams are in the West. Playoff rivalry aside, do you think it's to the West's advantage or disadvantage to have a relatively large number of players from the same two teams? Does it make the all-star game better or worse when this happens?

b. While the East rolled it back with two top defensive pairings - this year that means Philadelphia and Hamilton - the West mixed it up with only Los Angeles having two defensemen present. Everyone else has a new partner. Which side's defense are you more interested in watching?

c. While there aren't any new faces in net this season, which pair of goalies do you think is going to have more fun?

d. 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, argue for one of your teammates instead!)

a. Having multiple players of the same team being able to represent an all-star team can only bode well for said team because in FHM having excellent line chemistry goes a long way to having a great performance. The all-star game is to represent the all-stars of the game and if a team has many all-stars why not send them to the game?

b. I will say the East top defense pairings will be the more exciting d-men to watch for the all-star game. PHI and HAM play a high octane offensive game and what a better way to showcase that in the all-star game where offense will be what excites the fans. Emerson on PHI will be my D-man to watch.

c. I will say the West goalies will have more fun because I have met Justin Time a few times and let me tell you, he sure knows how to let loose and have fun at a party. It honestly surprised me to see that side from him since he is so calm and fierce while playing in net.

How much of a correlation do you think there is between TPE and an all-star nod? Should there be more, or less, than there is?

I don't think there should be a correlation between TPE and getting an invite to the all-star game. As someone who reached 2K TPE and is only playing better since regression, TPE is not the determining factor of how well someone will play. Tactics, sliders, player roles, line chemistry, how you are utilized by your coaching staff in FHM all play a role as well. Also, it is up to the all-star committee members on who they select for the all-star game and there is only a limited amount of spots to fill. There is the last player vote in to get a player that might have been snubbed, but the players who get voted in are usually by teammates who have a lot of peer support and get them to vote them in. Last season we saw TBB's Johnny Wagner-Svenson have an amazing breakout season where they only had 1230 applied TPE by the end of the regular season but was able to produce 6o goals and have 102 points. So TPE does not have much correlation for being an all-star.
