Well we have some very good conversations going on here, but they ALL have to
do with the Patrick division.  Lets talk about the Norris division.  Nobody has
mentioned that the Chicago Blackhawks have allowed the fewest number of goals,       
actually by quite a large margin.  

Nobody has mentioned that Ed Belfour has been ON FIRE !!! he has a league leading
4 shutouts.  He also has had NUMEROUS 1-goal-allowed games.  Granted the Hawks
defense have been playing well also.  BUT Belfour and Waite have taken OVER in 
the NHL.  I wouldn't be surprised to see Belfour named player of the week.

Not only is he leading the Cambell conference in the ALL-STAR voting (as well he
should be), but he would have to be ONE OF the leading candidates for the Vezina
trophy this year.  If he keeps playing like he has, he will be a SHOE-IN !!!

The Hawks are not only leading the Norris division, but they have DOMINATED the entire
Norris Division (except for Tampa Bay).  They OWN the North Stars and the Maple Leafs !!
They have the BEST Home record in the NHL, and are 9-2-1 in the last 12 games, with an
outstanding 45 goals for and 23 against (with 3 shutouts includede).

The once near-death Hawks offense has exploded.  Steve Larmer is on FIRE !! Ruutu is
still scoring goals.  Dave Christian is scoring (finally).  The Hawks once stagnant
power-play has been MUCH more successful than in the past.

What do you guys think of all this.  Bring on the PENS again....The PENS could use
ANOTHER 7-2 trouncing !!! Bring on the North Stars...they could use ANOTHER shutout 
against them.  Bring on the Leafs for the Same reasons !!!

Detroit winning the division HA......Darryl Sutter has taken over !!! The hawks
are going to be the team to beat in the Second half of the season!!!!

Any doubters out there !!!!!

Check the stats !!

later .... Ted
