It was Sim's first goal in twelve games

Though her ring skills are average at best, she's entertaining to watch.2010 will most likely see the continuation of a feud with Melina, and it's doubtful anyone else will become the top heel on RAW.Melina2009 was an extremely successful and breakout year for Melina.By the beginning, she defeated Beth Phoenix for her third Women's Championship and quickly became a fan favorite and top face.In April, she was drafted to Smackdown where she became emboiled in a feud with Michelle McCool. She lost the title to McCool in June and failed to win it back in July. By October she was traded back to RAW and defeated a newly crowned Diva Champion Jillian Hall to win the championship, which she still holds.Her move to RAW seems to have taken her a step back, as her matches on Smackdown seem to be much more crisp and fluid.With a returning Maryse as her new feud, 2010 should continue Melina's role as a top face of the company and of RAW.Michelle McCoolMichelle can put down 2009 in her diary as a year of highlights and great success for her. Though she failed to regain the Divas Championship, the heel Diva set her sights on Melina's Women's Championship. By June she defeated her foe and became the first Diva in WWE history to be both Divas Champion and Women's Champion.Still the current champion, she's been embroiled in a feud with Mickie James, whom she recently successfully defeated.With Beth Phoenix and Natalya biting at her heels, 2010 will be an interesting year for Michelle and her hold on Smackdown's top heel spot, as well as the Women's Championship.Mickie JamesThis was a bit of an interesting year for the WWE's top Diva. She won the Divas title in the summer and defended it against Beth Phoenix, Gail Kim, and Alicia Fox. She lost it in extremely surprising fashion to Jillian and was subsequently drafted to Smackdown.She's been involved with a brutally personal feud with Michelle McCool, being nicknamed "Piggy James" and was unsuccessful in her first attempt to win the Women's Championship.2010 really seems to be, with Mickie focusing on non-WWE career paths, a make or break year that just might see the popular Diva gone by year's end.Natalya2009 has been a good year for the third generation Diva.Although she's sadly rarely been in the ring, Natalya has been a part of developing Tyson Kidd and her cousin, David Hart Smith, as the Hart Dynasty.A draft to ECW garnered seeing her built up as a manager and solid third member of the Dynasty team.

The group was then drafted to Smackdown in June, where it became involved in a brief feud with Eve Torres. She's been seen in a few tag matches during the year, with her team and in a winning effort as a member of a Diva Smackdown team at Bragging Rights. Beth and Natalya stood toe to toe against one another, and if this is what 2010 might hold, bring it on.If the Bret Hart rumors are true, prehaps even more is in the future for the Hart Dynasty.Rosa MendesLike The Bellas, Rosa's year has been a bit insignificant. Though she started out strong being associated with Beth Phoenix, she couldn't back any of that up in the ring and sporadically wrestles.She was traded to ECW in the fall and has become involved with Zack Ryder.There doesn't seem to be much to look forward to in 2010 with Rosa, as her character hasn't been developed nor has the wrestling improved. All in all, 2009 was not a bad year for the Divas. In terms of them as a group, the spotlight on them has waned, as evidenced by the ridiculous Wrestlemania match and the real lack of storyline progress for the majority of them. However, some light is on the ones that deserve it for a change and with all the strong Divas being pushed a bit more, 2010 can be a strong year for the roster as a whole.Stay tuned for a look at the Year in Review for the TNA Knockouts!.

The Islanders got a solid all-around effort, as they defeated the Rangers 2-1 at the Garden on Wednesday night. On to the trick:1. Jon Sim got the only goal of the first 56 minutes when he converted a pass from Jack Hillen midway through the first period to give the Isles the lead. It was Sim's first goal in twelve games.2. 7, and ended a seven-game goalless streak.3. Comeau's insurance would be cashed in, during the final minute of play. Enver Lisin scored with the extra attacker on with 55 seconds to play to bring the Rangers within one but they couldn't get the equalizer It was Lisin's first goal since Oct. 25.It will go into the books as an even-strength goal amazingly the first the Rangers have scored in their last 231:55. The Rangers still have not been shutout this season, but were held to one goal for the eighth time. ...a few more...4 It was a strong night for the Islander defense The Isles blocked 28 shots in the game.

Jack Hillen and Andy Sutton led the way, each blocking five shots. 5 Marian Gaborik played 26:51, and had six shots on goal. However, he had four shots blocked and missed the net four other times. Eight Rangers played at least 21:57, while only two Islanders (Mark Streit and Jack Hillen) played that long Every Islander played at least 11:20. Six Rangers however, played fewer than 9:17.It will be interesting to see if this affects the Rangers when both teams play their third games in four nights on Thursday. Josh Bailey played more than 14 minutes for the Isles and recorded three shots on goal, ending a seven-game streak in which he was held without a single shot. 6. Dwayne Roloson recorded 25 saves, as he beat the Rangers for the second time this season Henrik Lundqvist had 25 saves for the Rangers. Neither team could get much going with special teams as each squad failed to tally on two power plays.
