I think Milan Michalek is a star and belongs in the 'The Next Level' group.

Boy, Helm gets back to the Griffins and he's already producing. 6 points in his last 2 outings for them. Fantastic to see Quincey and Kindl get involved. I rate Quincey very highly and I would HATE to see him traded at seasons end. I have a feeling he won't be back though, especially if Chelios re-signs.

Loved the Australian GP, a bit disappointed with the Malaysian race though. Was a bit of a snooze fest, not much passing and reasonably predictable. Liked Webber's race, thought he did a fantastic job of holding off Hamilton for almost half the race. Very pleased to see him end up with a few points.

Sorry about the delay with the results and I’ll have the standings up shortly.

I know it’s not a massive change, but I really, really like it! Great job!

Goal and an assist for Mursak tonight as the Bulls won 3-2 in OT. Mursak had the primary assist to the OT winner.

I'm getting worried about Flip. Knee and groin injury, doesn't sound good. He was expected to miss 2 games now there's a chance he might not play again before the playoffs. And then you know he won't be 100% fit when he does make it back out there. And there goes his chance for a 20 goal season.

I promise guys, I have no idea about any results over the weekend. I’ve been away since Thursday night with no internet connection and just got back an hour ago. Here’s my picks, and I’ll have the results up shortly. Friday: NY Islanders @ New Jersey NY Rangers @ Philadelphia Toronto @ Buffalo Washington @ Atlanta Minnesota @ Vancouver Anaheim @ San Jose Saturday: Colorado @ Edmonton Chicago @ Nashville Los Angeles @ Dallas Boston @ Montreal Toronto @ Ottawa Tampa Bay @ Florida Detroit @ Columbus New Jersey @ Pittsburgh Anaheim @ Phoenix Minnesota @ Calgary Sunday: St Louis @ Chicago NY Islanders @ Philadelphia

Kopecky is so underrated; he comes to play every night regardless of his ice-time. He played really well the other night against Dallas and obviously came to play against Columbus. I'm a big fan.

TheHoff 6 Well done to sibiriak and edicius who toped scored with 15 in a low scoring weekend.

Wow! He's certainly been playing some fine hockey of late and has actually been a surprise packet this year. He leads the Griffins in +/- and he's been putting up the points of late. I'd really like to see him play as I hear he has amazing hand-eye coordination and puck handling skills.

Why does everyone get so stressed about $ and length of the deal? As is ALWAYS the case, the Wings will lock up Flip for a number of years at a salary that we're all fine with. Relax.

AHL Transactions Way to go Darren! In case anyone was unaware, he had a 4 point night in the AHL last night with 2 goals and 2 assists. He's on a 5 game point streak. He should make his debut tomorrow. I for one can't wait as he's my favourite prospect.

Seriously, how could they make such a mistake? They grab the players when they're walking off the ice and down the rooms, how could they grab Downey instead of Datsyuk, who was the player they obviously intended to award the 1st star to...

Ovechkin is a legend. My favourite non Wings player by a long way. I for one love his goal celebrations, love the passion!

This is one very classy ad on the radio. Narrated by the one and only Tim Allan!

Babs speaking to the media. A few notes... * Samuelsson's playing as well as he has since he's been in Detroit. * Very impressed with Helm tonight and got more ice-time as the game wore on.

Standings are up. Friday: Atlanta @ Washington Chicago @ Columbus Carolina @ Buffalo NY Rangers @ Florida St Louis @ San Jose Saturday: Philadelphia @ Boston Nashville @ Detroit New Jersey @ Colorado Vancouver @ Dallas Buffalo @ Toronto NY Islanders @ Montreal NY Rangers @ Tampa Bay Los Angeles @ Minnesota Edmonton @ Phoenix St Louis @ Anaheim Sunday: Philadelphia @ Pittsburgh Calgary @ Chicago Boston @ Washington Ottawa @ Carolina Detroit @ Columbus Atlanta @ Florida Edmonton @ San Jose

So Downey plays a little under 3 minutes and he’s awarded the first star. Must have made some impression!

FLIP!!! Hank, you're my new hero, thanks for the pass mate! What a game for Filppula. My 3 Stars: #1. Datsyuk #2. Filppula #3. Franzen

He's bound to have a few go in with all the shots he takes. Flip's having a great game tonight, so many scoring chances when he's been out there.

Gee, Kopecky is playing a real strong game tonight.

"Samuelsson continues his fine play". Well, I wouldn't go that far.

The crowd is actually getting involved!
