Hockey Reference Stars next to season on hockey reference?

I can't for the life of me figure what they are supposed to be. Not asg because Crosby has been more than 6 times and it's not all-star team because he's an 8 time not a 6 time.

Did a little digging into the ASG format. it must be something with how Sports Reference codes the stars. Because the years starred are the only time Crosby was in the ASG and the format was based on divisions or conferences. Every other year it was either cancelled, a draft system, or he wasn't healthy enough to be voted an All Star.

The ASG has changed formats a lot in its history

I think it’s supposed to be all star games but they’ve not fully updated it
