Louis forward Alex Steen, Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby and San Jose goaltender Antti Niemi have been named the NHLs three stars for October.He looked at himself in the mirror this morning and thought, "More than anyone else, I have to have a big series and lead my team to the Western Conference Championship."
