Hello everyone is DogLisp here with another media post, this time we’re going to be getting into the 3 stars and the 3 not so much stars of the week!
Starting off we have our 3 stars of the week! These players played pivotal roles to their teams to help win games for Week 1.
Starting with the 3rd star of the week, we have the goaltender from the Ottawa Senators, Gunnnxrr! The Canadian goalie had a solid week with 5 wins and 0 losses, with a league leading 87.32SV%. He stopped 62 out of the 71 shots against him this week which helped catapult the Senators into first place in the league. He faced off against the top 3 teams in the west, allowing only a total of 5 goals in total against the Predators, Blues, and Coyotes. We’ll see if he can continue his hot streak into week 2.
Now with the 2nd star of the week we have xGenzy-_- from the Florida Panthers! In 7 games played he amassed 8 goals and 18 assists for 26 points, with a league leading interceptions among forwards at 42 INT. Genzy helped his team win 4 out of the 5 games they won in week 1. His solid backchecking helped create offensive chances against the Flyers, Ducks, and Blues which helped them win by a good goal margin in those games. We’ll see if he continues to heat up during week 2.
Finally the 1st star of the week, we go right back to the Ottawa Senators with BejimoSzn leading the way for all forwards with 31 PTS, and scoring over 43.75% in week 1. With a league leading 6-1 record at forward it’s no surprise to see him take the number 1 spot. We’ll see if he can maintain this pace against teams next week. Goodluck
Now onto our 3 Worst Performers Of the week! I wanna start by saying I wish I could just give the Islanders whole roster all 3 spots, but In reality we had another player who managed to do worse than a team who went 0-8-1.
Starting with the 3rd under performer, we have xShyne from the Pittsburgh Penguins with 2 wins and 5 losses and a -4 plus/minus. coming in with a 5 mil salary cap, he only obtained a 0 GV:TK rating which could be caused by limited puck possession during his 7 games.
The next under performer, we have JMM420 from the New York Islanders. another high salary player with a contract of 6 mil, finishes the week with 0 wins and 5 losses. Jmm420 produced only 6 points in 5 games and a -18 plus/minus. I have no doubt a player of your caliber will bounce back Week 2.
Our final under performer is little_man0909 primarily from new york Islanders as well. With a 6.20 GAA and a league low 61.73 SV%. It should be noted that he is presently a TC and is being i am sure played in the least ideal times and places as a team ready to win generally isn’t looking for a TC. Little_man by default is playing in harsh conditions. he did manage to have 3 close games in Week 1, against the likes of the Avalanche, Sharks, and Flyers, only allowing a minimum 3 goals against in those games facing an average of 13 shots per game. Hopefully he will shake off week 1 and bounce back strong for week 2.
Thank you everyone for taking the time to read another article made by me, I hope y’all have a good Week 2 in SPNHL. -DogLisp
