The end of the first week with new players has come and gone... and THE Team has come out firing. A week-high of 28 points closed the gap towards Taffy's Tyrants... a good battle indeed.

Brendan Shanahan (Taffy's Tyrants) was the week's best player... definitely the best pick up of the waiver draft, thus far. He had a huge 9 points this past week... which helped Detroit pick up a few wins.

Monday's News:
Robert Esche (The Slim Pickens) will be lost to the Flyers for the last few games of the month of December. His groin injury is a little more serious than once thought. Keith Tkachuk (THE Team) has suffered a broken hand and will be out of the Blues line-up for 4-to-6 weeks. Not good news for the battling team. Mario Lemieux (Doug's Deadbeats) will be sidelined indefinitely with his heart problem. Jose Theodore (The Late Impact) has suffered a knee injury, it is unknown at the moment how long he'll be out. Mathieu Schneider (The Shaving Moes) left Saturday's game with a charley horse... it is unlikely, though possible, he'll miss any games this week. Daniel Briere (The Late Impact) has been lost on a day-to-day abdominal injury.

An oops at the draft... the Sherpa's Yaks should have dropped goalie, Dan Cloutier, but instead thought he'd be back... only to find out on Monday that he's done for the year. D'oh! Robert Esche (The Slim Pickens) is having groin troubles... he's listed as out day-to-day. Adam Foote (Team EA)... same problem.

News for Saturday's games... Jason Spezza and Wade Redden (Sherpa's Yaks) both returned to the Senators line-up today. Spezza missed one game, Redden missed 10. Rick Nash (Langdon River Dogs) returned to the Blue Jackets line-up today to play only his fourth game of the season. He's still looking for his first point of the year. Mario Lemieux (Doug's Deadbeats) did not play Saturday against Buffalo... his heart problems have flared up again. Finally, Tomas Vokoun (Team Lowes Racing) returned to the line-up after missing a few games with a knee problem.
