Well, this is the story after 8 weeks of play this season... there's now a little bit more separation from 3rd to 4th after a huge week for the Shaving Moes. A wicked little 30 point week was tops in the pool and moved them into a tie (broken by goals scored) with Team Lowes Racing.

Thanx For Comin' Out found themselves back in the basement after the weekend had ended, but should find some more points with an extra game or two to their side this week.

Jason Spezza (Sherpa's Yaks) was the top point getter in the week... he had 8 points in 3 games this week.

Monday's News:
Mario Lemieux (Doug's Deadbeats) continues to miss time with a stomach virus. It is unknown how long he'll be out of the line-up for, but he will definitely miss the next game against Buffalo tomorrow. Peter Forsberg (Pull the Goalie) will also miss Tuesday's game with his groin injury. The aim is for Forsberg to be back on Saturday. Cory Stillman (The Shaving Moes) ended up returning to the line-up over the weekend, so he's back to being healthy again. Brian Leetch (THE Team) returned to the Bruins line-up over the weekend. Chris Pronger (Pull the Goalie) is listed as day-to-day with a bruised knee... he missed the game against Calgary on Friday night. Andrei Markov (The Late Impact) will miss this week's games due to a 3 game suspension for shoving a linesman on Saturday night.

Saturday's News:
Penguins news in the pool... Sidney Crosby (Doug's Deadbeats) took a puck off the foot last night and left the ice limping. X-rays say that nothing was broken, but with how hard these guys shoot, his foot might be a tad tender for a few days. It's unclear if he'll be in the line-up this weekend. Dick Tarnstrom (Pull the Goalie) finally returned to the Pens line-up last night... he missed 12 games.

Hurricane news in the pool... two of the three 'Canes taken this season are both on the shelf with injury. Oleg Tverdovsky (Team Chevy) is suffering from concussion syndromes and Cory Stillman (The Shaving Moes) may have an infected foot. The Hurricanes are unsure how long each of them will be out.

Pierre Turgeon (The Late Impact) suffered a groin injury last night and may miss some time. Turgeon has been one of the Impact's best players in the last couple weeks with 13 points in the last 3 weeks. Todd White (Team Chevy) has been shelved in Minnesota after a couple injuries and inconsistent play... it's unclear how much time he'll miss now. Peter Forsberg (Pull the Goalie) left yesterday afternoon's contest after getting 3 points with a groin injury. He has been quoted as saying it isn't too bad and may suit up against the Isles today.

This week (so far) in the news...
The Sherpa's Yaks gained a player back from injury and lost three... Marian Gaborik has returned to the Wild line-up, while Dan Cloutier, Martin Havlat and Wade Redden will all be sitting through the weekend's games.
THE Team has gotten some good news this week; Brian Leetch is now listed as day-to-day and could return anytime this weekend... and Keith Tkachuk came back from his ribcage injury to score a goal in Friday afternoon's contest.

Adam Foote (Team EA) was lost this week... only day-to-day with a groin injury. Dick Tarnstrom (Pull the Goalie) was upgraded to day-to-day this week with his knee injury. Glen Murray (Team Lowes Racing) will be out day-to-day with a groin injury.
