Gun! I'm loving the second assist which they yanked from Rafalski to give to Flip.

Nooooo! I wanted another point to Filppula which would've been (from memory) his first 3 point regular season game.

Sounds like Flip is creating a ton of scoring chances tonight.

Love Eaves. He and Helm are dynamite on the PK.

* IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ * A few changes this week. As you might notice, I have decided to implement the 'drop 3' rule. The way this works is that everyone's 3 lowest scores (zero's included) will be dropped from their total score. I understand that some people will be negatively impacted as a result of this rule but it is designed to bring the pack closer together and to stop one missed week from ruining your chance to win, or finish right near the top. If anyone has any complaints, suggestions or general feedback, please let me know, I'm happy to listen to everyone's thoughts on the matter. As I said, I realise some people might have taken a hit as a result of this rule but it seems to be the most suitable move, especially with so many people missing the past few weeks for different reasons. ALSO... I have decided to introduce a new feature, the 'double up' or 'jackpot' or whatever you want to call it. Basically you pick one game, any game at all (if people want to make it just one set game I'm happy to do that too; would probably make my life easier!) and have that game the one that is worth double. For example: Tampa Bay @ New Jersey x2 So If New Jersey win, I'd receive two points. I'd like to hear people's thoughts as I've been contemplating this one for a while now. I realise probably not everyone will read this post so some people might miss out on the double up. I'd also like to hear whether people want it just one set game or any, personally I like the freedom of picking whatever game you like as the one you're willing to back the most. We could just have a trial run this week, but once again, let me know. Standings: (positional change in brackets) 1. kook_10 133 (↑1) 2. johnnyoski 132 (↓1) 3. akustyk 131 (↑1) 4.

Brad Stuart -5. MINUS FIVE.

Hilarious. I'm out.

Absolutely freaking pathetic, disgraceful this; great effort Wings.

Trading Robert Lang for a legitimate 2nd line sniper in Tomas Fleischmann. That one hurts.

Wow, awesome move! Good news is that in 2 games he's been back with GR he's scored 2 goals and an assist.

57 points for a guy who played just over 13 minutes a night? Hudler is one of the most underrated players I've ever seen.

Helm is a freak! Legend!

Just realised Eaves picked up an assist on Helm's GWG against LA, NHL initially had Draper down for the lone assist. With tonight's goal Eaves is on a 2 game point streak, onya Patrick!

The guy is a massive Filppula basher, it's ridiculous. Don't look now but the guy is on a 3 game point streak.

Complete lack of a move on a breakaway FTW! This is just...

Question, how come Lebda's shots (as rare as they are) always require the goalie standing up and gloving it high in the air to save. Why can't he shoot lower?

Gee, rebound and awful coverage, two Sharks just freaking standing there.

Horrid PP, wow, such a shock!

Wow, Abdelkader had a PRIME scoring chance.

Speaking of which, I can't believe how badly they suck. They need to finish bottom 5 this season and get a REAL young gun. Wings game should be starting soon surely? Been waiting long enough!

Riiiitola!! 3 game goal streak now. And now Tardif scores. Still a hard task down by 2 with 10 minutes reamining, need Mursak to score!

Griffins down 2-0, why does it ALWAYS seem like they give up a lead and have to come from behind? Thanks for the stream drumnj.

It's okay, the double up for this week will go ahead. As Dan Bylsma rightly alluded to, the game will eventually be played so IF New Jersey were to come back and win then the people who predicted NJ will get a nice little point down the track.

Griffins up 3-2 in the third. Tatar is back! Second game back but today he's really back in the groove. Goal and assist. Ritola G+A and Logan Pyett 3 assists. Mursak needs a goal to extend his four game streak, c'mon!

So I exaggerated a tad, more like 25%! Yeah doesn't seem fair but what can you do? Thanks New Jersey lighting.
