Pretty slim pickings this week-Minnesota and Colorado are not attractive teams. So without further ado, may I present this week's player of the week-Rick DiPietro of the New York Islanders. I know what you may be thinking-who is he? I haven't heard of him before. Well that's probably because he hasn't played a game since January of '09. This one time All Star is as fragile as they come and underwent hip and knee (both left and right) surgery last season. I think it's probably safe to assume that his return can't come fast enough for fans (especially those that are female) and the man signing his gigantic paychecks ($67.5 million over 15 years? Suddenly Cam's extension is looking better and better!)
