1. Milestones (3)

2a. Edmonton and Los Angeles are major rivals so to see them with equal all star nods makes things really interesting. One downside is that other less represented teams don’t make the cut, however as a member of the Panthers I can’t help but love the fact that our presence is made known and will be seen in the coming seasons.

2d. I am shocked that Derek Martin didn’t make the cut this season. Second on the team in points and a fantastic player in his own right, he deserved a nod, though perhaps LA has too many nods this season (I’m not complaining though). Despite being second in points by about 30, he did it all on the second line of the team which makes it all the more impressive to me. I hope that we can see Derek Martin’s face in the All Star game soon. It would be real nice.

3. The Teammate One (3)

There are so many of my teammates who made the All Star game this season. Including but not limited to Adam Prpich, Axel Kirby, Jimmy Wagner and Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz. That makes the LAP one of the most star-ful teams of the SHL despite only being eighth in the league in points. All of these players were more than deserving of all star nods but Jimmy Wagner, who is an oldie in the league was a surprise for the first man in choice. In a John Scott-esque turn of events, the third line defenseman who is a legend in his own right was picked to represent his team in his last season. It is impossible to explain the sheer impact of this player but with over 1200 games, nearly 1000 points and a 18 season long SHL career in the books nobody is more deserving of an All Star sendoff. That is why Jimmy Wagner is well deserving of his nod.
