NEW YORK - Calgary Flames right-winger Jarome Iginla was named first star of the week by the National Hockey League on Monday.

Iginla led all scorers with seven points (five goals, two assists) to help the Flames win three games last week.

He scored a goal in a 2-1 victory over the Washington Capitals last Tuesday, recorded a hat trick in a 5-3 win over the Nashville Predators on Thursday and had a goal and two assists in a 4-1 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday.

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Peter Budaj was the second star and Detroit Red Wings right-winger Marian Hossa was the third star.

Budaj posted a 3-0-0 record with a 1.62 goals-against average and .941 save percentage as the Avalanche recorded three victories last week.

Hossa had six points (3-3) as the Red Wings recorded three victories for the week.

I have to agree with this

Iggy was on a tear this week, hopefully he’ll tear something in his body so he won’t be able to rip us apart next game we face off with them.

But Ho$$a? I thought there were better guys this week.

Keep it up Boods, you might convince some more media guys soon.

Ho$$a kinda deserved.

Excuse me, I’m gonna throw up now.

Sweet

Boods deserves more of this type of recognition. Eat your heart out, Dater.

He had a good week, no doubt. Let’s hope he keeps this up.

Good for Boods…that has to help the confidence. Keep it up Boods…

Nope

He’ll be saying he’s the reason Boods got better since he threw Boods under a bus after one game, and that he deserves all credit for this streak.

Oh wait, did he already do that?

by Drakenlot on Oct 27, 2008 2:17 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yes, yes he did.

For some reason, I feel like he is talking directly to me. It’s creepy…

Or to me. I should email him and challenge him to a duel. We’re not seeing eye-to-eye this year.

Does that mean I have to be your second?

Who needs a second, it’s a lawyer vs a journalist. It’s win-win for us regardless of the outcome. I’m now going to run away really fast to avoid the ban hammer.

I think you’re being conservative. I foresee missing noses.
