Thanks, Bern! Another high-scoring session ends with Andrew over 4.00 PPG for the second-straight week. For the first time since September 2011, we have a player with back-to-back 25-pointers as Andrew finished with 11G-14A. Rob kept pace all day was not far behind with 10G-12A. In his rookie session, Neil picks up third star with 7G-5A. Dom was also stellar in his half-session on skates with 8P in 3 games. After the amazing goaltending sessions of the past few weeks, a sharp return to earth today, with none of the three goalies achieving star points. The only goalie above .00 tonight was Dom at .714. Stu Bell narrowly wins the battles of the Stuarts, .681-.675 over Stu Hall.
