606HL Three Stars

Second what Monty said, was gonna suggest a running score for players but I see you already got that covered!

Here are your 606HL Three Stars of the Night:

Honorable mentions:
Vincent LeCavalier had the night's only hat-trick, but still ended up on the wrong side of 2pts; the Buttercups conceded 10 goals in 2 games, but still walked away with 3pts. Marian Hossa and Nicklas Lidstrom scored 4pt nights; Rick Nash also scored a 4pt night for the Badgers; a third of all games went to the shootout, including the Ducks' 9th-round win against the Shamrocks; the Capitals' Henrik Lundqvist secured the night's only shutout, a 23-save effort against the Chops; and finally, tonight's fight watch - Roman Hamrlik drew with Zdeno Chars, Marek Zidlicky drew with Zach Bogosian, Mike Commodore drew with James Wisniewski, Sean Bergenheim beat Corey Perry, Matt Green beat Jason Spezza (who responded with a 2-assist night), and a mass brawl broke out in the Ducks-Shamrocks game:

14:31 of 2nd period - Kyle Calder and Cory Sarich fight to a draw.
14:31 of 2nd period - Penalty to Kyle Calder for Fighting.

14:31 of 2nd period - Minor Penalty to Filip Kuba for Tripping.

Dishonorable mentions:
Tonight's ejections - usual suspect Jarko Ruutu, and uncharacteristically, Mattias Ohlund. Ohlund made a nasty hit from behind, while Ruutu nearly took Jonathan Toews's head clean off. Better luck next time Jarko; the Iowa Chops went 0-for-10 on the PP against the Capitals; and saw ugly -3 ratings for its top line of Crosby et al.

Did you know?:
It was a bad night for powerplays across the league, as the total PPs saw just 22 conversions out of 150 chances. That's just 14.67%, stat fans

Season Leaders:

3pts - Drew Doughty
3pts - Ilya Bryzgalov
3pts - Milan Michalek
3pts - Rick Nash
3pts - Roberto Luongo
2pts - Denis Grebeshkov
2pts - Evgeni Malkin

2pts - Mike Green
2pts - Nicklas Backstrom
1pt - Bobby Ryan
1pt - Chris Drury
1pt - Dany Heatley

1pt - Zach Parise

Thats some good work on the PP stats!

Here are your 606HL Three Stars of the Night for Days 16, 17 and 18:

Honorable mentions:
Of the seven teams that played twice, only the Rex and Shamrocks won both games; the Shamrocks were indebted to a 10-save Ryan Miller shutout for one of those victories; Martin Biron had a 2-period, 24-save shutout to lead KoC past the Schmucks; Derek Roy scored a hat-trick for the Capitals, but those were his side's only goals as they succumbed to a 4-3 defeat to the Chops; Roberto Luongo saved 70/75 shots for the Chops; Daniel Winnik thrashed Mikko Koivu, sending Danish people everywhere into joyous celebration; other 4pt nights included Kimmo Timmonen, Rene Bourque, David Krejci and Patrick Kane.

Dishonorable mentions:
Stop-start game of the night was at the Schmucks, as their game against KoC saw a whopping 118 face-offs; Kyle Okposo picked up a 1-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct; the Penguins and Shamrocks should be ashamed of themselves, as their match saw 4 fights and a whole lot of trouble:

Quite right, I had it written as you instead of KoC...bloody KoC, and that Martin Biron chap

Here are your 606HL Three Stars of the Night for Days 19, 20 and 21:

Honorable mentions:
Five teams played twice - only the Cherrypickers won both games; Dennis Wideman and Mike Richards continued their fine form, posting 1-1-2 nights apiece for the Rex; Zach Bogosian scored his first two goals of the season; Jiri Hudler put up 3 assists against the Chops; Beefs D-man Duncan Keith fired in 10 shots against the Caps, scoring twice; four Schmucks had 3-point games against the Monsters - with Kesler notching 4 points as well; Alex Burrows had 1 goal, 3 assists, a +3 rating, 13 PIMS, 8 hits and 2 blocked shots over the Schmucks' two games.

Dishonorable mentions:
PP woes continued for the Chops, as they went 0-for-9; the Buttercusps bettered that record in going 0-for-10; in a low-scoring night there were few villains - Matt Greene wins the honours tonight, after being ejected from the Penguins' rivalry match after beating up Daniel Winnik. Rumours abound that Greene got a few sucker punches in while Winnik was signing autographs for some front-row Danish fans.

Did you know?:
Plenty of fights tonight - Alex Burrows drew with Bryan Allen, Joe Thornton drew with Ian Laperriere, Joni Pitkanen drew with Mike Komisarek, Jordan Staal beat Ryan Clowe - and fresh off beating up Mikko Koivu, Daniel Winnik was downed by the Penguins' behemoth Matt Greene.

Here are your 606HL Three Stars of the Night for Days 22, 23 and 24:

Honorable mentions:
Mikael Tellqvist stopped 24 of 25 shots to limit the Giraffesto just a 4-2 win; Nicklas Backstrom continued his fine form with another three points for the Buttercups; Joe Thornton posted 4 points in the Schmucks' second rout of the Monsters; Simon Gagne and Stephen Weiss of the Shamrocks both had 4-point nights.

Dishonorable mentions:
Eight teams played twice - only the Shamrocks and the Sharks won both games; Game 93 saw the Beefs get shutout by the Penguins, as well as three ejections - Justin Williams and Todd White of the Penguins, and Ville Peltonen for the Beefs; this was easily the most boring night of the 606HL season so far - only one game saw a fight (Penguins vs Beefs), PIMS were scarce (bar the Pens-Beefs game), and scoring was low (bar the Schmucks-Monsters game). Perhaps the players were looking forward to their Christmas turkey, and not wanting to injure their 'eating' arms?

Did you know?:
The Boston Shamrocks are the early season leaders - however the Swansea Sharks have the best PCT, having gone 7-1-1 over 9 games to stand just 3pts down on the Shamrocks with 3 games in hand; KoC affiliate Farm Team 2 lead the minor league standings.

Give me 20mins and you'll find out mate

Here are your 606HL Three Stars of the Night for Days 25, 26 and 27:

Honorable mentions:
Of the eight teams that played twice, only the Penguins won both games; Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers posted the night's only shutout with a 26-save effort for the Beefs over the Badgers; Stephen Weiss had a 5-point night for the Shamrocks; Joe Thornton had a fantasy owners' dream of a game against the Rex - 2 goals, an assist, 17 PIMS, +1, 3 shots, 13/20 in FOs and 3 hits; all but 3 Beefs players were positive in +/- - Marcel Goc, Radek Bonk and Ville Peltonen were evens.

Dishonorable mentions:
Both goalies were pulled in the Giraffes vs Monsters game; there were four ejections in tonight's games but no fights - Rob Scuderi (Victory), Joe Thornton (Schmucks), Ilya Kovalchuk (Ducks) and Matt Greene (Penguins) all lost valuable ice time for their teams.

Did you know?:
The Giraffes had a big offensive night with 11 goals, thanks to 4-point nights from Alex Semin and Maxim Afinogenov and a 5-point contribution from Jeff Carter. They can consider themselves unlucky to miss out on the night's three star honours.

Here are your 606HL Three Stars of the Night for Days 28, 29 and 30:

Dishonorable mentions:
Alex Ovechkin has now opened the season with zero goals in ten games; the Eskimos continued their pointless run, with 0-9 and 0-10 losses to the Mice and the Mongooses. John Tavares posted 5 assists for the Mice, and Dimitri Kulikov posted two goals and three assists for the Mongooses.

That'll be tonight's edition mate

Here are your 606HL Three Stars of the Night for Days 31, 32 and 33:

Honorable mentions:
A whopping ten teams played twice - yet only the Cherrypickers picked up the maximum four points; four-point nights across the league for Zach Parise (Monsters), Eric Staal (Cherrypickers), Ilya Kovalchuk (Ducks), Pavel Datsyuk (Ducks) and Stephen Weiss (Shamrocks); Josh Harding made 39/40 saves for the Victory against the Chops; Penguins D-man Dan Boyle posted three goals in two games, and also won second prize in a Desperate Dan look-alike competition.

Dishonorable mentions:
Fairytale Buttercups forwards #DanEllisproblems; the Bearded Badgers' bad luck continues, putting them on a 5-game losing streak; Jack Johnson was the night's only injury, picking up a sprained right knee for the Victory; there were fifteen games across the league but alas, no shutouts; in the last nine game days there has been just one fight across the league. Where has the pride gone from our game?.

Did you know?:
After 12 games, Alex Ovechkin finally opened his season account for the Swansea Sharks.

Season Leaders:

6pts - Drew Doughty

Here are your 606HL Three Stars of the Night for Days 34, 35 and 36:

Honorable mentions:
7 teams played twice - the Beefs, Badgers and Cherrypickers all won their two games. The Cherries won 8-4 in their Rivalry match against the Sharks; the Forerunners got unlucky, picking up two serious injuries in one game - Randy Jones (broken left foot) and Andy Sutton (right eye) will miss some time; the Cups' Sergei Gonchar also picked up a strained left elbow; Josh Harding stopped 39/41 shots for the Victory against the Pens; only three Cherrypickers failed to notch a point over the two wins - Jonathan Cheechoo, Mike Grier and Kurt Sauer; Dany Heatley led the Beefs with 2 goals and 2 assists, Alex Semin scored 5 points for the Giraffes, and Mikhail Grabovski also scored 5 points as the Cherrypickers spread their scoring.

Dishonorable mentions:
Mike Richards went from hero to villain - last night's second star instigated a fight after 47 seconds of the Rex's match against the DLMS, got beaten to a bloody pulp by Jan Polak, and was summarily ejected from the game; the entire 606HL was rooting for Braydon Coburn when he took on Chris Pronger, but it ended a tame draw; the Beefs and Ducks scrapped in their Rivalry game, seeing one general melee in which Ruslan Fedotenko drew with Greg Zanon, and another scrap later when heavyweights Mike Commodore and Jarome Iginla traded blows in a colourful draw.

Did you know?:
The Mice beat the Eskimos 10-2 down on the farm - they lead the season series 4-0 and by a mammoth 33-5 score differential. In the Mice's other 13 games they have scored a mere 39 goals

Here are your 606HL Three Stars of the Night for Days 37, 38 and 39:

Honorable mentions:
Four teams played twice - only the Shamrocks won both games; the Beefs and the Chops shared their two rivalry games; Dan Ellis posted a 21-save shutout for the Ducks against the Caps. So much for #DanEllisproblems; the Shamrocks were led by Mark Streit (1-3-4) and Slava Kozlov (3-1-4); Patrick Elias had 5 assists for the Ducks, while Ilya Kovalchuk posted 4 helpers; Duncan Keith was the Beefs' main threat, posting 1-3-4 against the Chops.

Dishonorable mentions:
Bag skates all round for the Ducks and Caps - the two combined to waste 15/15 Powerplay chances in their match; the Fairytale Buttercups went with an injured Sergei Gonchar, only to see him fall to a strained right arm; Brandon Dubinsky was ejected for head-butting Jarret Stoll - 606HL Commissioner MC Homer will spin his Wheel of Injustice, but will hopefully land on medal and honorary knighthood'; hotshot goalie Ryan Miller conceded 3 goals on 4 shots before being pulled by the Shamrocks against the Ducks; Craig Conroy was a -4 for the Buttercups.

On the subject of crazy amount of penalties, I've worked out that in the Sharks last 2 games we spent 65 minutes on the PK with 29 penalties... Unsurprisingly they were both losses

Sorry guys - it's the wife's 30th today, so I'll be doing Monday's and Tuesday's 3 stars tomorrow, and Wednesday's on Friday, Thursday's on Saturday and Friday's on Sunday. I'm sure that was pretty clear

haha no worries. Happy Birthday to the wife from the person who runs 'that bloody hockey game'!

Just so Marc doesn't cry, Travis Zajac played well last night. Or something.
