The Puck Stops Here

The closer we get to the playoffs, the more important a streaking team becomes to the Stanley Cup picture. San Jose has won their last eleven games in a row. This has put them in second seed in the West Conference. They have done so with strong play from their stars Joe Thornton, Evgeni Nabokov and newcomer Brian Campbell. Campbell has been the best addition in the league since the trade deadline. He has been the top scoring defenceman in the NHL since his trade to the Sharks. If San Jose can keep up this high level of play they must be considered a strong contender for the Stanley Cup.
