As chosen by Orange County Register Food Editor Cathy Thomas:
3. Scott Niedermayer. Co-led the Ducks with 4 PIM, one of which the Stars scored on! Very gracious, if I do say so myself. Also led the team with a -2, which was the highest negative number of the whole group.
2. Chris Pronger. Any good restaurant has a good maitre d', and Mr. Pronger consistently provided Stars players with a quick, open pathway to the front of the Ducks net, never once getting in their way or slowing them down. Tres bien!
3. Todd Bertuzzi. His name rolls off my tongue like a succulent Italian cream sauce. He tied with Mr. Niedermayer for the team lead in penalty minutes, so he must be good. Plus, any time the Ducks started playing well, he would draw a penalty to make sure the visiting Stars never felt uncomfortable. Orange County hospitality at its finest.
Great job Ducks! Have a great time in the Lone Star State! Try the barbecue brisket while you're there, I've heard it's to die for!

I never understood why penalty minutes equated to good. I understand how someone who gets paid to protect the skill players might be judged on that stat in a superficial way, but even then isn't the object to avoid having to fight by intimidation?
