pow S64 W4 - VHLM PoW

[Plate 386]

VHLM Player of the Week 

Hello and welcome to Plates Player of the Week (PoW)! Twice every week there will be a PoW, from games that take place Mon-Wed and Thur-Sun. As you may tell, this is the player of the week from Monday to Wednesday!

 

The first half of the week will be posted here and the latter half will be posted in the VHL.com thread. Let's meet our very first nominees!

 

The Nominees

This was a really tough first half. There was a lot of great hockey played by some stellar players. Here are the top three nominees. As you can see from the figure below, all the players recorded an insane 12 points each.

 

Matthew Materazo 

Materazo plays a great offensive game. Cashing in on 5 goals and 7 assists in only three games is no tall task. Especially when you play on a team as hot as Las Vegas who've won their last 9 straight. There's no doubt that Materazo has contributed to their success and will continue to do so with fervor.

 

Charles Puidgemont 

What a story for this Ottawa team. Puidgemont is a success story in the making. Scoring 8 goals and getting 4 assists to help his team win their last 5 straight. With Ottawa chasing behind Halifax, this kind of clutch hockey takes you up for a spot amongst the PoW alumni. 

 

Diljodh Starload

One of Halifax's new acquisitions has made a very explosive start to his new team. Helping the team out with 12 points, 7 goals and 5 assists, is exactly what Halifax needed to keep up in the standings. It was a big move that looks to be paying off with the talent that Diljodh brings to the team. 

 

And the PoW is...

This was such a tough call to make. All three players could have easily taken the first ever PoW title. However, there can only be one that takes the title this week. So, without further ado. Congratulations to Diljodh for obtaining the first ever PoW! 

 

There is a very good reason why Diljodh was picked over Materazo and Puidgemont. When a player has that kind of skill, there can be one deciding factor. Poise, the ability to clutch games and win for the team. Diljodh did that twice out of three games. Pushing Halifax in closer contention with Las Vegas.    

 

Closing Remarks

 

Tell me what you think of the format, what can change/improve. What I did wrong what I did right. And don't forget to visit the VHL.com thread on Sunday to see who the newest PoW will be. Again, congratulations to all the nominees for playing an excellent game.

 

All PoW's will have the pow tag for easier searching access.
