SPNHL, Season 39: Week Two – Players of the Week
By: ProdigyToLegend
Welcome to SPNHL Players of the Week for Season 39. I am back with the weekly Player of the Week articles to fuel your egos and give you something to brag about for a solid 10 minutes before going back to irrelevancy (kidding). The first week had some high scoring players, so without further ado, let’s get into it.
Forwards:
Iam-beanzy: 8 GP, 19 G, 13 A, 32 P, 4.0 PPG, +23, 148 GV, 23 TK, 44 INT
Beanzy earns the first player of the week among forwards in Season 39. This shouldn’t be surprising to most people, as Bean has a history of earning awards in SP, and yet again proves why he is one of the best players in the league. With 19 goals and 13 assists in week 1 with a +23, he helped his Dallas Stars to an 8-1 week and first place in the league. Will Bean make Tommy regret trading him at the draft? So far, it looks like it.
Honorable Mentions:
LeCupidon: 9 GP, 22 G, 16 A, 38 P, 4.2 PPG, -2, 129 GV, 17 TK, 43 INT
GrammyHands: 9 GP, 20 G, 13 A, 33 P, 3.7 PPG, +1, 148 GV, 30 TK, 63 INT
NTyrrell14: 9 GP, 14 G, 17 A, 31 P, 3.4 PPG, +8, 90 GV, 24 TK, 39.
Defence:
uStooPiiD: 7 GP, 3 G, 11 A, 14 P, 2.0 PPG, +15, 38 GV, 16 TK, 43 INT.
A new entrant to my player of the week articles, Dallas gets another player on the player of the week award. Stoopiid had an incredible week, having 3 goals and 11 assists with a +15. He currently leads all defenders in points and didn’t even play the full week last week. We will see if he is a product of Dallas, or if he is going to be one of the players Dallas relies on to show up night in and night out to be successful.
Honorable Mentions:
DougCBJ: 9 GP, 2 G, 11 A, 13 P, 1.4 PPG, +7, 30 GV, 29 TK, 72 INT.
LouieDeuce8: 8 GP, 0 G, 12 A, 12 P, 1.5 PPG, +27, 62 GV, 26 TK, 54 INT.
Curtisx18x: 5 GP, 1 G, 10 A, 11 P, 2.2 PPG, +22. 26 GV, 9 TK, 21 INT.
Goalie:
Polar-1387: 6 GP, 5-1, .844 SV%, 1.67 GAA, 1 SO.
Polar earns his first player of the week on the season, and it was definitely a close decision between him and the honorable mentions. It honestly could’ve went to anyone, but I gave it to Polar on his GAA category since save percentages were very close. With a .844 save percentage but allowing under 2 goals per game, Polar played very well in his first week. With a very good defensive Arizona team in front of him, Polar is the final nail in the coffin for the Yotes to frustrate other teams offensively. Getting by the defence and Polar will be a challenge for any team to face, and I’m curious to see if any team is up for the challenge.
Honorable Mention:
TopCheeseNeon: 7 GP, 6-1, .857 SV%, 2.00 GAA, 1 SO.
ciulla19: 6 GP, 5-1, .846 SV%, 2.00 GAA, 0 SO

SPNHL, Season 39: Week Two – Players of the Week
By: ProdigyToLegend
Welcome to SPNHL Players of the Week for Season 39, week 2 edition! Goals, goals and more goals! This week had a ton of players putting up huge numbers on both the offensive and defensive side. Just making it harder every week for a goaltender to look good, but, some did manage to find a way to have respectable numbers. Offence has been high so far this season, we’ll see if defence picks it up or if offence will just pave their way to glory every week.
Forwards:
Iam-beanzy: 8 GP, 25 G, 31 A, 56 P, 7.0 PPG, +33, 130 GV, 21 TK, 38 INT
Beanzy earns his second straight player of the week award with numbers that I don’t think many will ever replicate. This man had over a hat trick per game and almost 4 assists per game this week. Bean lit it up against anyone and everyone, and is a huge reason (or the main reason) why Dallas is the team to beat. If anyone wants any chance at stopping Dallas, your first goal should be how to slow down Bean.
Honorable Mentions:
Fluri37: 8 GP, 20 G, 30 A, 50 P, 6.3 PPG, +42, 71 GV, 31 TK, 54 INT
The-Freak-Show2: 6 GP, 15 G, 20 A, 35 P, 5.8 PPG, +29, 48 GV, 22 TK, 40 INT
iZinczyi: 6 GP, 16 G, 15 A, 31 P, 5.2 PPG, +24, 75 GV, 22 TK, 35 INT.
Defence:
uStooPiiD: 6 GP, 1 G, 16 A, 17 P, 2.8 PPG, +28, 36 GV, 21 TK, 53 INT.
Stoopiid also wins his second straight player of the week award. The Dallas Stars are filled with…superstars and every team in the league need to do something to try to slow them down. I am genuinely curious to know if the success on stat sheet for Dallas is due to good team play, or if we genuinely have 2 superstars on Dallas. Regardless, a 2.8 point per game pace for a defencemen is nothing to scoff at. With 1 goal and 16 assists on the week, Stoopiid had himself another incredible week, on top of all that, he also had just under 9 interceptions per game.
Honorable Mentions:
DougCBJ: 9 GP, 0 G, 13 A, 13 P, 1.4 PPG, +13, 21 GV, 19 TK, 70 INT.
Curtisx18x: 8 GP, 0 G, 14 A, 14 P, 1.8 PPG, +18, 42 GV, 22 TK, 50 INT.
harkov47: 7 GP, 1 G, 13 A, 14 P, 2.0 PPG, +1. 62 GV, 32 TK, 53 INT.
Goalie:
TopCheeseNeon: 8 GP, 8-0, .799 SV%, 2.50 GAA, 0 SO.
They have done it, they have swept the board. The third person from Dallas to win a player of the week award. This time, it’s Neon who wins goaltender of the week. Going a perfect 8-0, Neon had himself a stellar week. And it’s not like he didn’t face any shots, he still faced about 12 shots per game, and was still able to put up a .799 save percentage and 2.50 goals against. The Dallas roster is loaded, the question is, can they keep the momentum riding the whole season.
Honorable Mention:
Polar-1387: 5 GP, 4-2, .785 SV%, 2.33 GAA, 1 SO.
Knxght30: 6 GP, 4-2, .804 SV%, 3.00 GAA, 0 SO
