It's Monday morning, which means it's time to vote for the SB Nation New York Player of the Week. Last week, Victor Cruz was the winner, thanks to his big plays in the New York Giants' win over the New York Jets. This week, he did it again, starring in the Giants' rousing victory over the Cowboys, the Jets' season ended with a thud in Miami, the New York Knicks went 1-2, the New Jersey Nets 1-4 and the New York Rangers, New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils all had a 2-1 mark. Here are the new nominees. Vote now!
↵Victor Cruz: It's deja vu all over again for Cruz, as he scored another spectacular touchdown, this time good for 74 yards to open Sunday night's scoring. He made another big catch in the fourth quarter, a 44-yard third-down reception, and a minute or so later he hauled in a 20-yarder to set up an insurance field goal. For the game, he caught six passes, for 178 yards, and he set numerous franchise receiving records this year.
↵Eli Manning: The Giants' QB finished the best season of his career with a flourish, completing 72.7 percent of his passes (24-for-33), threw for 346 yards, tossed three touchdown passes without a pick and had a 136.7 passer rating. Manning smashed the team passing yards mark this year, with 4,933, and threw 29 TDs.
↵Jeremy Kerley: Well, this is the last go-around for the Jets, and they probably don't deserve any nominees, but we'll select Kerley for his versatile performance. He accounted for a total of 154 yards, throwing one pass for 41 yards, rushing once for 16, catching four passes for 71 yards and returning two punts for 26 yards.
↵Carl Hagelin: Henrik Lundqvist was his usual stellar self in his two games played, Michael Del Zotto continues to mature by the week (he's now plus-25) and Ryan Callahan is an inspirational shot-blocking machine (and had four assists this week), but Hagelin was the offensive star for the Rangers. He netted the first two goals in the 3-0 win over the Islanders, and he scored 35 seconds into Friday's victory over the Panthers (and added an assist), giving him three goals and a helper for the week.
↵Evgeni Nabokov: The Islanders' top offensive players, John Tavares, Matt Moulson and P.A. Parenteau, piled up 11 points in the team's two wins this week, but without strong goaltending, what does it matter? Nabokov only allowed one goal in each of the wins, making 29 saves vs. the Flames and 28 against the Oilers. And he only let in two goals in the loss to the Rangers as well.
↵Martin Brodeur: The old man has something left after all. In the Devils' pair of wins this week, Brodeur was in the nets for both, only allowing one goal in each victory. He made 22 saves in the 3-1 win over the Sabres on Wednesday and 29 saves in the 3-1 victory against the Penguins in Saturday's matinee, including stopping a couple of breakaways.
↵Josh Harrellson: The Knicks were stomped in their first two West Coast games, but they salvaged the trip by blowing out the Kings. With Amar'e Stoudemire out, Harrellson made his first career NBA start and was stellar. He scored 14 points, including four three-pointers, and hauled in 12 rebounds. And his solid defense was a key to the victory.
↵Kris Humphries: Everybody hates Kris nowadays, but we'll give him a little respect. In the Nets' only win of the season, Humphries scored 21 points and grabbed 16 rebounds. For the season so far, he's averaging 12.4 points per game along with 10 boards.
