SPNHL, Season 36 Playoffs: Round 1 – Players of the Week
By: ProdigyToLegend
 
Welcome to Players of the Week: Round 1 Edition. Playoffs have finally come, and we now see 8 teams in an all out war to win the Stanley Cup, and 4 teams have now been eliminated. New Jersey, Boston, Nashville and Calgary have all kept their hopes alive, and this week’s players of the week will feature players from those teams.
Forwards: 
Capitalsfan_08: 3 GP, 11 G, 5 A, 16 P, 5.3 PPG, +9, 15 GV, 4 TK.
The player not talked much about in Boston, Capitalsfan proves that he is a huge playoff performer for the Boston Bruins. In just 3 games, Capitalsfan averaged over a hat trick per game with 11 goals in those 3 games, adding 5 assists to his total for an amazing round 1. If Boston wants to take out the in my opinion cup favourites in New Jersey, Capsfan is going to need another type of performance like this to go along with DeathClxn and potential rookie of the year, iyzcniZi. 
Honorable Mentions: 
Whitetees41: 4 GP, 7 G, 8 A, 15 P, 3.8 PPG, +9, 15 GV, 4 TK.
Dirty-Dietrich: 5 GP, 5 G, 10 A, 15 P, 3.0 PPG, +3, 17 GV, 13 TK.
iyzcniZi: 4 GP, 3 G, 8 A, 11 P, 2.8 PPG, +7, 44 GV, 13 TK.
 
Defence: 
ProdigyToLegend: 4 GP, 1 G, 9 A, 10 P, 2.5 PPG, +12, 37 GV, 16 TK
Prodigy gets his first player of the week since the first week of the season, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. With 1 goal and 9 assists in the 4 game sweep of Minnesota, Nashville was led by Prodigy to the second round for a matchup with the Calgary Flames. Add on the 16 takeaways which was second among all defenders in round 1, Prodigy takes player of the week. If Nashville wants any chance to beat Calgary, Prodigy will need to be on his game again. 
Honorable Mentions:
The-Statistician: 4 GP, 1 G, 7 A, 8 P, 2.0 PPG, +6, 30 GV, 10 TK.
DudNastyy: 4 GP, 2 G, 4 A, 6 P, 1.5 PPG, +12, 21 GV, 16 TK.
 
Goalie:
chadkillz134: 5 GP, 4-1, .853 SV%, 2.0 GAA, 0 SO.
Chad leads his Boston Bruins to the second round of the playoffs with a stellar round 1 performance against the high scoring Toronto Maple Leafs. Only losing 1 game in the series, Chad only allowed 2 goals per game to a Toronto team almost scoring at will in the regular season. Chad’s going to need to continue his dominance and most likely will need to steal 1 or 2 games against New Jersey next round in order to get to the finals.
Honorable Mention:
Spencer_Knight30: 2 GP, 2-0, .842 SV%, 0.5 GAA, 0 SO.
