That means that you have until a week from Monday to get your rosters in order. Both parties must have confirmed by the deadline in order for the transaction to take effect. Thanks to Junu for the reminder! As we advance to the 48-game mark in the NSHL, the Vancouver Whitecaps and Houston Aeros find themselves in a flatfooted tie for first place in the Western Conference. Perhaps a more interesting battle is taking place at the eighth position, where the Seattle Rainiers (65 points) just overtook Minneapolis (64 points) for the final playoff position. With nine of the league's plus-0.500 teams out West, it seems certain that a team with a winning record will miss the Farley Cup playoffs. Out East, two sub-0.500 rosters (Pittsburgh and Montreal) find themselves with playoff tickets ready to be punched. Stone Harbor continues to pace the Eastern Conference, as the club who has missed the playoffs in six consecutive seasons is atop the standings with 68 points overall. But there's no rest for the weary, not with St. Michael's driving their stalwart 19-1-4 home record to a 66 point total, just two points back of the Sound. Injuries are really starting to take their toll, not least for the Nevada Thunder, who will have eleven players missing a total of sixty-seven man-games over Week 13/14. Nevada currently "leads" the battle for the top pick with 28 points, just behind Capital City (30 points) and Manayunk (31 points). These teams (and Buffalo) and can comfort in knowing about the NSHL's entry draft lottery, so all non-playoff teams will have a shot at the best incoming talent. Thanks to Chris Malitsky for his great team recap this week - his article follows! *************************************************************************** STONE HARBOR SOUND VIEW FROM THE CLIFF by Chris Malitsky, Stone Harbor owner The Christmas tri-week has given the Sound management ample time to assess their current situation. The current management are in their 6th full season at the helm of the franchise after taking over the reigns mid-way through the 2003-04 NSHL season. The current leadership have not achieved anything higher than 5th place in the divisional standings during this tenure. Their 31 wins as a high water mark is dismal, as is the franchises record of 35 in its only season ever to clip the 0.500 winning percentage plateau. This season may prove to be a different beast altogether. The Sound have taken a patient approach to building the franchise over the last few years; stockpiling picks and making what hopefully proves to be wise draft choices and trades using some of the stockpiled picks and young players. Over the past two drafts, the team has added notable prospects to include Patrik Berglund, Mikkel Boedker, Chris Stewart, Max Pacioretty, Ty Wishart, Michal Repik, Peter Regin, Kyle Turris, Jiri Tlusty, Martin Hanzal, and Brian Boyle. The team has had enough depth that they were forced to expose some of these players in the waiver draft. The Sound, once the franchise who moved for the establishment of the waiver draft, are now becoming 'victims' of the draft they helped create to help rebuilding teams. Oh, the irony and a topic for a completly separate submittal. The team has seen play this year that the franchsie has never experienced. Playing in front of packed houses is a first time experience for the players on the team and for management. The excitement is buzzing after the team's hot start. Sound management has been so happy about the excitement, that they decided to swing two deals during the Christmas tri-week. In the first deal, they struggled, but eventually decided to move budding youngster, Sam Gagner, along with management favorite Nick Schultz, and promising Scottie Upshall and Brendan Witt and Tim Stapleton to the Hornets for a half dozen players that bring different things to the table. These six, Sergei Gonchar, Chris Phillips, Matt Cooke, Peter Regin, Steve Begin, and Hal Gill, all serve different purposes for the team. Gonchar brings immediate credibility to the power play. Phillips brings stability to the penalty killing unit. Cooke's diversity provides better two-way play and availability over the minutes logged by Upshall. Regin, who was lost in the waiver draft, is reunited with the GM who did not want to lose him. Gill provides a year or two of defensive play to hopefully make up for some of the loss of Schultz. The big loss for the team is of course Gagner. But the team hopes the collective package delivers a short-term fix for some holes. The addition of Gonchar freed up the availability of the team's existing powerplay quarterback, Brian Campbell. Campbell and Begin were dealt to the Sasquatch for additional offense at the center position. In return, Nik Antropov was added to the team to provide additional punch upfront. The team hopes that the addition of Gonchar, Phillips, Cooke, and Antropov provide a boost to the already strong team performance being displayed on teh ice. Not only does the team want to eclipse its record of 35 wins, but also make some noise in the playoffs. Excitement is building in Stone Harbor. Let's see how the team continues to perform as the season progresses. For now, all are enjoying the ride! *************************************************************************** CALENDAR OF EVENTS: January 12 - Week 13-14, National Strat-o-Matic Hockey League 2010-11 January 14 - all computer managers must be sent to myself, Brian, Junu, and your road opponents January 23 - all results must be sent to NSHLgames, to the commissioner (10pm MST) and vice-commissioner, and to your opponents.

Home ice advantage will be added in a later edition of the NPI. *************************************************************************** PLAYER OF THE WEEK: It's back-to-back player of the week awards for Vancouver's Sidney Crosby - Sid the Kid scored 11 goals and 18 points in Week 11/12, getting goals in all eight games for the co-conference leaders. A plus-seven for the 'Caps, Crosby added five takeaways and four hits. Other top performers included Brooklyn's top line of Alexander Ovechkin, David Krejci, and Steve Downie, Gulf Shores' Joe Pavelski, Marian Gaborik of Stone Harbor, and the Pittsburgh Sound Chasers' Paul Stastny. Week 1/2: Steven Stamkos, North Calgary (10g 3a 5TA 48SOG) Week 3/4: Jeff Carter, Seattle Sasquatch (12g 4a 4H) Week 5/6: Patrick Marleau, Seattle Rainiers (4g 11a +10 6TA) Week 7/8: Marian Gaborik, Stone Harbor (10g 7a +5) Week 9/10: Sidney Crosby, Vancouver (4g 10a +6 4TA 6H 67% faceoffs) Week 11/12: Sidney Crosby, Vancouver (11g 7a +7 5TA 4H) *************************************************************************** GOALTENDER OF THE WEEK: Henrik Lundqvist, Pittsburgh Hornets. The Steel City has an abundance of goaltending talent, with Lundqvist and Martin Brodeur manning their teams' nets, but Lundqvist takes top honors this biweek. The Hornets are clinging to a playoff spot thanks to Henrik, who stopped all but 12 of 213 shots (94.4%) and 30 of 39 Goalie Ratings (77%). Lundqvist's magnum opus was a 27-save blanking of Fort Garry. Citymate Brodeur, Capital City's Jonas Hiller, Ilya Bryzgalov of the Stone Harbor Sound, and Corner Creek's Chris Mason round out Week 11/12's top goaltenders!
