Biggest Gain: Sean Bergenheim
Three points for Bergenheim this week, and of course, all were goals. Scoring the only Panther goals against the Flames, and the first against Carolina. Bergenheim finished the week with a plus-two and four hits. He currently has six consecutive games with at least one hit.
Biggest Loss: Tomas Fleischmann
Zero points for Flash during the week. Flash went minus-one while recording two blocked shots and one hit in 66 minutes of ice time. The 11 shots he had on net this week, dropped his shooting percentage from 15.4 last week, to 13.5.
| Goaltenders | Trend | Notes |
| Scott Clemmensen |
|
Zero minutes on the ice for the greatest player to ever come out of Des Moines, Iowa |
| Jose Theodore |
|
What six goal game? Theodore allowed six goals during the week (two in each game) off 86 shots. Good enough for a weekly save percentage of .930 |
| Defensemen | ||
| Brian Campbell |  |
Campbell scored only one point, an assist against Carolina, during the week. The minus-two didn't help. |
| Keaton Ellerby | |
Ellerby was finally free of the press box, playing against New Jersey and Carolina. While he didn't score any points, he did record five hits and blocked six shots. |
| Jason Garrison |  |
Garrison scored a single point, a huge powerplay goal against Carolina. He also had ten hits and five blocked shots. |
| Erik Gudbranson | |
Gudbranson played only one game, blocking one shot and delivering two hits. |
| Ed Jovanovski | |
Jovanovski played a fine game against Carolina, scoring two assists, one on the powerplay. Zero hits for him this week, but Jovo did block five shots. |
|
Dmitry Kulikov |
|
Zero points for Kulikov, but a plus-four weekly performance, along with seven hits and five blocked shots is good enough. |
|
Mike Weaver |
|
A very Mike Weaver week for Weaver. Zero points, a plus-four, seven blocked shots and four hits. His reaction? |
| Forwards | ||
| Sean Bergenheim | |
See "Biggest gains." |
| Matt Bradley | |
Zero points, a minus-one, and 12 hits. Otherwise, about what's expected of him. |
| Krys Barch | |
11 pims and four hits. As well as one of the longest fights I've ever seen. |
| Tomas Fleischmann |  |
See "Biggest losses." |
| Marcel Goc |  |
Out indefinitely with an Upper-body injury. |
| Tomas Kopecky | |
A minus-two week for Kopecky, who scored zero points while playing 55 minutes. |
| Shawn Matthias | |
Three-point week (all assists) for Matthias, who helped out his plus-minus with a plus-two performance. |
|
Samuelsson played 48 minutes, helping the offense with three points (all assists) and a plus-two. Guess he and Matthias have some chemistry. |
|
| Mike Santorelli | |
Zero points for Santorelli, who recently changed his game to playing physical; five hits during the week. |
| Jack Skille | |
Four hits, a minus-two, and a separated shoulder |
| Marco Sturm | |
Zero points, again, with a minus-two. As well as seven hits. |
| Scottie Upshall | |
Out indefinitely with an Upper-body injury. |
| Kris Versteeg | |
His four-game point streak ended against the Flames, but Versteeg scored three goals this week, including the game winner against Carolina. |
| Stephen Weiss | |
Weiss had only two shots all week and still scored two points (both assists). Helping his strong case for captain is his two-way game, where he recorded six hits during the week. |

Alex, great info. Anyone wondering why the rumor is out on ESPN? I promise to send Flash his mojo back, I really didn’t mean to frighten him at the Ice&Dice. I kid, I know its b/c other teams take our 1st line very seriously so we are getting smothered, minus Steeger aka Thor. I like seeing the hits but I’ll trade them in for some goals- Sturm, Sammy-Son, Kopy, Little Italy. I am really NOT going to be shocked to see Tallon make a move to get someone else in who can put the puck in the net with Bergy, Goc, Upshall and Skille out. I just listed 3 of the most energetic players on our team. Our call ups have not brought much more than a small jolt of energy in the last few weeks. Here’s hoping CPB&J (Kennedy) can bring that confidence he’s displayed in the last Rampage game!
Growing pains.
I hereby predict Captain Mike Weaver #43 will score 6G 20A -RCR 0G9A 12/6
Be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions, always do your best...
+1000000 for the Weaver entry
I’m putting here for reflection later on in the season…. #14 Tomas [Fleischmann] is getting a 40G season. FLASH COUNT: 12G/18A

Matthias has simply amazed me this week…huge motor, never seems to be tired, finally playing with confidence. He has helped log minutes when our guys have been going down mid-game and it doesn’t even phase him.
His progression has been (rightfully) overshadowed by the first line’s dominance, but no one bred in the system has made a greater jump. A pleasure watching his development.

definitely agree; however, in the first line’s disappearing act for this week….he’s shining bright— and I’m glad people are noticing
Oh, they’re noticing. Made himself darned hard to ignore.

Don’t know if its true, but Goc’s upper body injury is a concussion according to Yahoo fantasy sports and Rotowire…
Goc suffered a concussion Nov. 15 in Dallas. The injury appears to be a little more serious than originally expected. Goc has already missed a month thus far and could be out for at least another. Regardless, Goc should only be reserved for the deepest of leagues.
(Rotowire.com)
Thanks for the catch, sir.

It is true. They finally admitted it last week. I saw it in a couple of places and then GR, I think, also mentioned it at some point.
