Gotta get in here first while there is no bar set and I have a reason to post something for every position!

Player - Patrice Bergeron - 2G, 2A, 4P, +2 in 3 games playing 2nd line minutes. Only player on the roster to score in all 3 games this week
Defenseman - Zdeno Chara - 3A, +6, 26:30 average ice time in 3 games.
Goalie - Tomas Vokoun - 0.972 SV%, 0.76 GAA, 1W, 1 shootout loss, 1 no contest. Got ejected in the second period of his first game of the week but left the game with a lead (Khabiboozin' gave up 2 and stole the win from Vokoun)
Unsung - Cal Clutterbuck - 1G, 1A, 2P, +2, 1st star in game 3, Averaging 9:30ish of ice time including PK time, 63OV

Poster - Slava for carrying on with the CPHL summit thread and finalizing plans for it. And also for his Punny Marc Savard trade thread title.

[Superfraggle]

Player - Pavel Datsyuk: 2 G, 4 A, 6 Pts, +1, led team with 18 shots 72/123 on faceoffs for 58.54%

Defensemen - Dion Phaneuf: 1G, 2 A, 3 Pts, +4, 11 shots. Mostly from the second line. Stepped up and took on the extra minutes in the last game when Keith went down, though.

Goalies: Josh Harding: 3 GP, 2 Wins, 2.33 GAA, 0.916 SV%, second star. 72 OV!

Rookie - Zac Bogosian. 6 Blocked shots, 3 Takeaways.

Unsung - Josh Harding: 3 GP, 2 Wins, 2.33 GAA, 0.916 SV%, second star. 72 OV. Has taken the starting position away from 85OV Pekka Rinne this week. We'll see what happens next week.

[Flickered Flame]

Player: Vincent Lecavalier. 3 games, 5 goals-2 assists, +3, averages just over 20 mins a game.

Player(s)

1A Mike Richards
4GP 2G 8A 10P +5

Mike Richards had a terrific week and is now the league leader C scoring.

1B Martin Erat
4GP 5G 3A 8P +4

Martin Erat is a scoring machine lately and also had a terrific week. Maybe he will hold an edge over Richards because of his goal production? Either way we believe one of these two gents deserve the weekly award.

Goalie

Ryan Miller
3W-1L
.931 sv%
2.25 GAA

Ryan Miller has continued his excellent play and has really turned around a struggling Jackets team.

[Young Guns]

Player - Marian Gaborik 3 goals 4 assists 7 points

Goalie - Jaroslav Halak 4 games played this week
2.00gaa .943 sv% 141 shots against. (a lot of rubber)

yeah, but he was beaking off a Sedin, so that's worth bonus points

Islanders nominate

Player LW Ryan Smyth 4GP 2G 7A 9P +4, 2nd Star 2 times, a force in every game with 3 2 PT games and 1 3 PT game

Defensemen Steve Eminger 4GP 2 Assists +3 8Hits

Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist 3GP 2W .928 SV% 2.33 GAA, Lundy earned his first SO of season, 1st Star

Unsung Hero LW Drew Miller (61 OV) 4GP 3G 1A 4P 21Shots, 1st Star, 2 multiple point games from the 4th line and a GW - Would have went with Vrbata who is a 65OV who had 5 assists and was a +5 however didn`t think it was fair to be nominated in this catgeory since he has been a permanent fixture on the 2nd line The question is does this get factored in with deciding a winner in this category? (for future reference)

[JiriHrdina]

Corey Schneider
Returning from a month-long stint as back-up Schneider got the Wild back on track.

[Slava]

Nashville had three games this week and was 3-0 through that stretch, based largely on the contributions of two players:

Unsung: Colby Armstrong: rated 63ov Colby put up 7 points in these three games with 3goals and 4 assists. He was named first star once and second star once. Pretty clearly he has found a place here in Nashville as he arrived the week before in the "Johnny" Franzen deal.

Goalie: Nik Backstrom: Backstrom continued his stellar play for us, not only in picking up the three wins, but posting a fairly gawdy .944 save percentage. He nabbed second star honours once as well.

Rookie: Matt Duchene: 4 GP, 1G, 4A, 5P, Even , 8 S, 1 Third Star, OT Game Winner.

Goalie - Finally, a nomination for Byzgalov! He went 3-1 this week, putting up a 1.96 GAA and a .932 SV% this week in what was a seriously tough schedule (let in 2 goals, 1 goal, 1 goal in wins against Montreal, L.A., and Minnesota respectively). Ended up with 1st star and second star ratings as he faced 118 shots.

Rookie - Michael Grabner. Put up 1G, 2A for 3P as he had a team-high 15 SOG and pitched in with two hits.
