Fantasy Hockey All-Stars week 21
This week was, in some leagues, the last straw on the regular season. That means that some leagues are running into playoff games while others are playing the vital last week to determine the last participants in the playoffs. The following players can guide their teams to the top:
Center: Steven Stamkos, 2 goals, 4 assists, -2, 2 penalty minutes, 4 power play points, 17 shots on goal
Left Wing: Daniel Sedin, 3 goals, 5 assists, +3, 2 penalty minutes, 2 power play points, 12 shots on goal
Right Wing: Corey Perry, 5 goals, 2 assists, +2, 2 penalty minutes, 2 power play points, 15 shots on goal
Defenseman: Erik Karlsson, 3 goals, 2 assists, +1, 8 penalty minutes, 3 power play points, 21 shots on goal
Goaltender: Braden Holtby, 4 wins, 1.05 goals against average, 110 saves, .965 save percentage, 1 shutout
These players are generally high on their ownership totals, however, Holtby is a good short-term pick up, with the Washington goaltending situation as it is right now. Good luck if this is your last week, and good luck if I'm not against you in the playoffs.

Song of the Week XI
This week we have a tune coming from Snow Patrol called Starfighter Pilot. This track is their biggest power hit from their early years. The song is the second track on their debut album Songs For Polarbears. The album is noticeably young in sound, as they were finding their place in the music world. Most of the CD is a harder-hitting variety, with strong guitars backed by gentle drums. This is toned down on future albums from them, but the song remains their initial hit, although is highly under-appreciated. This feature will return next week.

Sandwich Showdown X
This week, we bring you a Roast Beef on Roasted Garlic and a Spicy Italian on Italian Herbs and Cheese. The Roast Beef was a sandwich much desired during footlong month, finally getting its turn again for consumption. However, it didn't satisfy as much as expected, as it was rather cold, even for a deli style sub. It wasn't awful, but the flavor didn't seem to be all there. The Spicy Italian struck while the iron was hot, with a strong flavor and good bread quality to easily win this week. This feature runs weekly and will return next Sunday.
