Not a good way to go into the last month of the season.

Just wait till the playoffs for Campbell... That guy flat out disappeared for the sharks last season. Didn't think he was worth that amount of money either. Anybody think the blues may find a way to sneak their way in?

Campbell has been playing like crap lately.

A gifted "puck mover" and powerplay QB, but a defensive liability...not worth what the Hawks paid, though I hope he proves me wrong come playoff time.

The Blues? They can set their tee-times for April 13th.

How about a little love for the Hurricanes...

Look like a great sleeper from the East. They are 8-2 over their last ten games, including big wins over Calgary and the Rangers... not to mention, the total beatdown they put on Tampa Bay the other night. Erik Staal had 4 goals!

Eric Cole has been a real spark plug since the trade. Watch this team... they went from 9th in the East to 6th (closely contested part of the East standings right now). I feel real good about their chances.
